Default Sold My Car to Carvana

When we moved here in Sep 2017, we brought down two cars. We decided we only needed one. My car was a lease so I decided I would sell my car to a dealer than go through the hassle of buying out the lease and selling to an individual. In searching and talking to local dealers, Carmax, and others, I came across Carvana. They offered a $1k over the best offer and they came to my house and picked the car up.

As to concern of flood cars mentioned in one post, Carvana seemed to be very careful on avoiding such cars. Since we moved a couple of days before Hurricane Irma, they would not accept cars out of Florida for at least six months. I had to prove to them the car was up north during the hurricane before they would complete the purchase.

Overall, they were great to work with on the selling side. Since they have a 7 day 100% return policy, I would consider using them in the future for a purchase.

Wow, I couldn't believe what I was reading. Made a believer out of me. I just scratched them off my list. Thanks for enlightening me.

Interesting reading all the reviews. I can't blame you for scratching them off your list. Though I had a great experience, there is quite the disparity in those reviews.

Good deal! I can't remember if this was Carvana or Off Lease Only. How many miles and what kind of car?

Get the best wipers you can find, FL sun is hard on them.

That's about 7000 miles a year. Sounds like a good deal and a good choice. Best of luck with it.
