    had total different experience. smooth, just shared the registration and picture of the odometer and few documents directly through their website.
    no pictures of the car to take.
    had a straight forward process including the pickup and receiving top dollars.

    I sold my ‘21 Mercedes GLC Coupe to them. The man on the phone said the would pick it up within 150 miles. When I went to choose how to get it to them it only honored “Drop Off Only”. I questioned the choice after waiting 47 minutes to get a rep. They declined offering the pick up option even though I was less than 150 miles as I was told. We only owe $32,000 on it and they offered $45,200. We paid extra and it did not depreciate that much. We will be taking it to the Pittsburgh, PA area Saturday.

      That is because pick up option is not always available plus it usually has pick up fee charge, it depend if the hub nearest to you is available for pick up.Usually the main reason why pick up option is not always available is because they don't have enough field advocate hence why they're always overbooked on some cases there are carvana hub that is only open for custumer who wants to buy a vehicle and they don't handle customer who wants to sell their vehicle to Carvana that's another reason why some customer would ask how come there's carvana hub near them but it's not the drop off location they got when they chose a drop off option.

    Our experience with Carvana was terrible. The delivery time was from 11am-2pm EST. 2pm passes, but we get no call, no notification, nothing. We call to follow up, and were told to wait another hour or so. Carvana would not give us a valid ETA on the late delivery. Calling this unprofessional and a lack of customer focus is an understatement. We would not recommend buying or selling a car from Carvana.

    Selling private party is a nightmare and so easy to get ripped off.
    Selling to Carvana is far less likely to be a disaster than a private party sale, but not as easy as trading into a dealer.

    My experience with Caravana sucks.
    Tried to schedule them to pick my car.
    Spent time on the phone waiting almost 20 minutes to speak with customer service, having them to say they can’t. And I will have to schedule to deliver the car myself which is over 120 miles away.
    And will need a ride back 120 miles.
    So please check in your area if there is carnana near you.

    Don’t forget when trading into tesla assuming you are buying a tesla you save the sales tax on the trade in value, So tesla, carvana and zoom were all within 200 of each other. With tesla getting there with their trade in value plus value of car tax saved.

    Thank you for creating this content. I’m looking to sell to Carvana and also have a bit more owed to the bank than what they offer. What did you mean by you having to give a check to Carvana? Did they pay your loan off ? Also, do they do the registration change and all of that admin stuff? Thanks again!

    • @smallindiana
      @smallindiana  Год назад +1

      You will cut a check for the difference. They pay off you loan. Registration and admin stuff is pretty specific depending on location/state. So your mileage may vary. In my case once you sell in Indiana you are required to notify the BMV.

    • @AyameMendez1996

      If you have a negative equity then you would have to give a check for that negative equity to Carvana so that they could pay off your loan but if you have a positive equity then you don't have give a check instead you will get that positive equity amount as your payment while the rest of your offer value will be given to your lienholder to payoff your loan or lease.

      It was my girlfriends car and she traded it in for a Mazda as they gave her $15,000 for a Chrysler mini van with a blown head gasket. They didn’t know about the head gasket. Carvana was willing to offer $20,000 but I was not with her during the purchase and she needed a car like…. Now. I wish we went with selling it to Carvana but we did not. The Mazda dealer took the Chrysler struggled to start it back up had some guys roll it in and they eventually threw it on a auction truck. The sales guy who sold the Mazda to us was later sent to service department. I wonder why 😂

      @vxnova1 Год назад

      If you buy a new car from them and use this as a trade in then you will only pay sales tax on the difference between the new vehicle and old, assuming the new vehicle is more money, If it is less then there wouldn’t be sales tax at all,

      No one mentions payment because almost everyone is underwater in a car - so if you owe more than it’s worth you would cut them a check. If they owe you money, they will hand you the check.

      I bet that i'snt why people don't mention it but I appreciate the information. If people are under they would still find it helpful to know how the transaction works, especially if someone still owes the bank and someone is hauling their car off on a flatbed. It's probably a lack of people asking, but I like to know the details before giving a company too much of my personal information. @@smallindiana
