Carvana purchased Park Cities Chrysler/Dodge/Jeep/Ram earlier this month with the intention to test market new vehicles in their model. I bought a used vehicle from them once a couple years ago and it was the most painless hassle free buying experience I've had outside of Tesla. I got an offer for a trade, picked the one I wanted on their website, two days later it showed up on my driveway for free, they looked at my trade for 5 minutes, test drove it and checked the ODB port, signed papers and drove away. Took all of 10 minutes. A few days later I noticed it had poor alignment and the tires were a little more worn than I wanted. I was in the 7 day return period so they sent me to Pep Boys and at no cost out of pocket they aligned it and gave me a $250 credit per tire to get replacements. If you're in the market for a Ram/Jeep they have some really great pricing and incentives right now on their website.

I think we can universally agree that all car dealers, salesmen, finance guys are scum of the earth and one notch above pedophiles so hopefully this catches on and they offer more brands.

I'll definitely have to look into it when I go to look for a truck. I have bought 4 cars through Carvana for my 4 daughters. They are all still driving them and none have had a single issue.

I agree about the experience. It's almost as easy as buying something on Amazon. Just find the car you want, click the button and wait for it to arrive. And if you don't like it, tell them to come and get it.

I thought they went bankrupt.

They just announced a record quarter in October and their stock is up 90% for the year.

Holy crap. Haven't followed them at all.

Wish I'd have thrown some money into their stock in 2023 when it was $6 a share. Trading at nearly $300 now.

Bought both our kids cars on Carvana. Great experience. Both were used. Son's had a few issues and Carvana covered around $1,500 in repairs. Noticed a weird sound a week or so into driving, took it in and they said to send them he bill.

No, they didn't. Almost but not quite.

They did, however, renegotiate with creditors and got a lot of debt offloaded. I sure hope those creditors got some equity out of the deal.

Cox Automotive's Senior Director of Economic and Industry Insights Erin Keating explained the potential logic to me," If you look around and you see another manufacturer outselling in a specific category or not, you start keeping up with the Joneses as much as regular consumers do, you forget what your core customer looks like and what they're behaving like."
