We sold our Boxster to Caravana. Similar story...car was paid off and in excellent condition, so they matched their initial quote and it was very painless. We had them come to us as we don't have a "vending machine" anywhere close by. I'm sure I could have gotten even more selling it ourselves, but I still got more than I paid for it and, man...there's genuine value in being so easy.
I sold a car through Carvana. They came to my house. Gave a quick check of the vehicle. They had a check ready for me. Good Price. I had two keys and the Title paper. Very pleased how the process went.
How long before you are able to use the check they give you like do you have to wait for the check to clear or can you use that on a down payment on a new car immediately?
I sold my 2022 Venza to Carvana and they gave me what I paid a year ago. It was easy and I’d do it again. They offered $4k more than CarMax offered. I would sell to Carvana but not buy. Their prices are high
I really wish more people sold their cars private party. I've had nothing but good experiences and made more than if I were to trade them in. I will however say that the Carvana experience is one of the best because you don't have to deal with some A-Hole at a dealership continuing to find flaws and reduce the prices.
No one wants strangers coming to their home, talking down about they own and acting like experts. People just want money for what they own and not a 45 mins conversation with a tire kicker…
Traded my 2021 Prius Prime in for a Kona EV last summer, they gave me significantly more than I paid for the Prius new despite having nearly 40K miles on it (the Kona was definitely overpriced so it balanced out). They hardly even looked at my car before I drove the Kona away, overall a pretty smooth process. Second car I've purchased from Carvana (first was a Volt in 2018), it's not bad as long as you avoid their financing and understand the cars are overpriced for the convenience factor much like Carmax.
Keep us posted on whether the check bounces... All joking aside, that's a surprising result after 4 years to retain so much value. That shows that the used market, despite seeing some recent decreases, is still very robust.
I've heard a lot of bad press about them lately. I still heavily sus their practices, but as long as that check clears the bank, then take the money to a more trusted source for your next purchase.
I sold my 2013 Mitsubishi Lancer (w/28,000 miles on the odometer) to Carvana in April of 2023. KBB offered me $5,000 as did my local Mitsubishi dealership. I thought that was the best I was going to do on a 10-year-old Plain Jane car. I gave Carvana a shot and they came back with an offer of $10.746!! I was shocked to say the least but of course I decided to go with that offer. I was "long tailed cat in a room full of rocking chairs" nervous right up to the point where the rep who drove the Carvana truck to pick up the car (yes, they really DO show up with the Carvana truck) took me to the bank to deposit the check. I watched a video on TH-cam warning that the check was going to "bounce", so it wasn't until the following morning when I checked my bank account and lo and behold, the account was $10,546 fatter! They charged $200.00 for the cost to haul it away but I couldn't have been happier! Carvan is the way to go!! 110% of the time!
This is exactly what I’m looking for. Same situation for my 2013 Nissan Rogue. KBB was laughable but I see now bc it was a dealer trade in price and it appears Carvana gives a private value.
I bought my used Prius from Carvana in 2020 when I moved back to the USA. It was great for me because I was able to use a VPN to do most of the work buying the car before I even flew back here. My car was exactly as it was described. I got my license plates about 2 weeks after purchase. I had no problems. I was blown away with how easy it was. The best experience buying a car in my life. Now it is about 2.5 years later, and I still love my Prius. I did have to replace the 12V battery and the tires, but no other problems. After all the other bad stories about Carvana, I feel fortunate.
Carvana sent my plate to the wrong address, I spend couple days calling FedEx and Carvana customer care after my temp tag expired just to find out my plate was sitting in my neighbor’s mailbox for a month. They also registered my car in the wrong county. I even corrected them while picking up my car that the county wasn’t correct, they still made the mistake.
3 experiences all good no issues now keep in mind the mileage of cars bought and sold were low so no extensive work needed to be done. Recently purchased and lc 500 1 owner. Couldn’t be happier that said I did put aside 3k for paint work etc
Seems like people have had good selling experiences through them in the comments section. I was trying to buy a car in 2021 and they, hands down, had the most ridiculously high prices out there. And a no haggle policy. Needless to say I bought a used car elsewhere.
Bought an Audi A4 from Carvana at a good price and without dealing with Dealership crap. In spite of all the negative coverage, I was also able to get warranty service taken care of.
I bought a used car that was mostly brand new with the original warranty and traded in my 2008 Mazda speed3 at a fair price. I hope they remain in business. I would buy from them again. This was in the Austin area.
I enjoyed my first purchased. Dec 2019 ford cmax 2017. Today I am getting my new vehicle from them. Price seem good car only has less that 43000 miles on it and it's 2014 Cadillac XTS. Will let ya know how things ok. I did buy a warranty with a third party instead of the one offered just in case it may be useless.😢 fingers crossed all goes well.
New supply is increasing consistently and will continue as rates are high. But there will be a surplus of supply thus the prices will drop significantly to increase demand. Im waiting till end of this year to get a car
Looking forward to seeing what you buy to replace. I saw in another video you were considering a Trax? I assume with it being Michigan insurance is probably the biggest factor anyway......
I wanted to try trading with them but I'm apparently outside of their delivery area and even with having to travel a state over they want a 1500 non refundable shipping fee. No thanks.
@@naveenthemachine yeah I just got one... if he can find a lightly used one he'll literally have a more practical and modern car for what he bought the Veloster for with lots more fun goodies.
Ya, it doesn't seem like they did any checks on how the car is mechanically. I can't imagine buying a used car and expecting it to be in good mechanical condition.
Had an '18 Subaru Impreza Premium lease end in 2021. Clean title and minor exterior scratch. Carvana valued the car $5,000 over what I owed on it if I chose to buy it from the dealer. So, they came to my address in IL, free at the time, locked the car and gave me a check for $5,000. A few hours later the car was towed by Carvana and my check cleared. They handled the dealership purchase and all that other stuff on their own. Similar story in 2022 with a '22 Forester (leased in '21) but dropped it off at Carmax. Essentially, got paid $3,500 to drive the car for 6 months - I was scouting dealerships and haggling for a while before getting this car though.
Did the money transfer work well? How long it took for the check to clear? I heard of issues with the payment, check did not clear for days and weeks, eventually transactions got canceled. Thank you

$8000-9000 of cost to you over 4 years (about $180 per month plus insurance, gas and any oil changes) is pretty excellent. Well done.

Did they use an OB2 scanner to scan for codes?
What did the inspection process consist of?

I sold my car to Carvana today I couldn’t be more happier, I got what I was offered, it took them 4 minutes to get everything Thank you Caevana
Do they take it for a drive and stuff or just walk around it?
Keep us posted on whether the check bounces...

I just sold my 2022 GMC Terrain to carvana. They gave me what I paid for it 2 years ago. They gave me the best offer.
Brian, In the immortal words of Steve Miller and his band - Take the money and run!!!😂

wish buying new car was so easy.
Have you considered getting a civic hatchback or CTR or perhaps an Elantra N or Kona N?
All depending on your budget
Carvana sent my plate to the wrong address, I spend couple days calling FedEx and Carvana customer care after my temp tag expired just to find out my plate was sitting in my neighbor’s mailbox for a month. They also registered my car in the wrong county. I even corrected them while picking up my car that the county wasn’t correct, they still made the mistake.

What did they list your car for?
Seems like people have had good selling experiences through them in the comments section. I was trying to buy a car in 2021 and they, hands down, had the most ridiculously high prices out there. And a no haggle policy. Needless to say I bought a used car elsewhere.
The fee just jumped up to $250 for pick up apparently…
Bought an Audi A4 from Carvana at a good price and without dealing with Dealership crap. In spite of all the negative coverage, I was also able to get warranty service taken care of.
Traded in my car for another, no problems, prefer this to a dealership
Helpful, thanks for sharing.

Looking forward to seeing what you buy to replace. I saw in another video you were considering a Trax? I assume with it being Michigan insurance is probably the biggest factor anyway......
So, how well did you do?
Have you narrowed down a replacement yet?
Brian should get a Honda Civic Type R
Good to know. I wondered what the experience would be like.
Thanks this is what I was looking for
I sold 3 cars for them and get the highest price compare to sell local or private.
has anyone sold their financed car ? hows the proccess pls
THE BIG QUESTIONS IS.... WHAT VEHICLE ARE YOU GETTING NEXT???? CTR? ITS???
So how much did they offer? How did that compare to others? How did that compare to it when it was new? What condition was it in? How many miles?
I wanted to try trading with them but I'm apparently outside of their delivery area and even with having to travel a state over they want a 1500 non refundable shipping fee. No thanks.
Gonna miss that Veloster. What you gonna get now??
Brian is looking all over the map from new Trax or Prius to possibly a lightly loved Mazda 6 wagon...
Tell him to get a civic hatchback
@@AAutoBuyersGuide man, he's all over the place 🤣 tell him he should get a Kona N like I did 😆
@@MDKN22 Ooh that’s a good idea. I didn’t think of that.
@@naveenthemachine yeah I just got one... if he can find a lightly used one he'll literally have a more practical and modern car for what he bought the Veloster for with lots more fun goodies.
What form of payment did they give you?
they usually give you the check instantly.
I'd sell to them but I'd be hesitant to buy from them.
Ya, it doesn't seem like they did any checks on how the car is mechanically. I can't imagine buying a used car and expecting it to be in good mechanical condition.
But did the check clear? lol
What’s next? Type R?
I've sold a couple cars to them and it was super simple and good $

I was just there last week!!!
Two years buying a car with Carvana no registration no title
Today was a good day, but now I am sad.
They offered me $225 so I’m no. I’ll be selling it myself.
Did the money transfer work well? How long it took for the check to clear? I heard of issues with the payment, check did not clear for days and weeks, eventually transactions got canceled. Thank you
They probably give you a certified bank check if not there is no way I would sell to them.
I can sell my car to carvana, but I'm not going to buy one from them.
They offered me 25k and tried to give me 20 for a car I paid 35 for less than a year earlier
What car are you driving that depreciated that much in one year? Also how many miles did you put on it?
I always thought that you live in Atlanta for some reason 😂
yes he was in Atlanta. ;)
Don't spend it on a Trax, Brian!
Brian! 😍
Thought about selling my car man money
they offered me $600 for a $4000 car.
It's not going to be the best offer for everyone, that's for sure. -Travis
What did u get for it
That’s what we all wanna know lol
Glad it worked out for you. Now you can buy a real man’s car!
