Anyone have experience or insight here?

Prices seem to significantly less in some cases and indicates free shipping and free 7 day returns (whatever that means). Seems kind of too good to be true.

No.

TDA appears to be a subcontractor for Vroom, which is a competitor to Carvana.

we only take European delivery of fine German engineering...or buy new base level Fords and turn them into King Ranch editions.

---

The rest buy mini vans

Or should!

From the times I have looked at Carvana over the past 18 months, prices for what I was looking for seemed decent but better deals were easy to be find locally for comparable cars (and history). Seemed to have the convenience built into the price a bit. Not bad prices by any means, but not hard to do better.

Or South Carolina delivery if you're buying a BMW suv.

But they provide you with a smoked brat and a brau for that true SC German immersion.

Carvana seems to be right at or below what Dealers are asking for CPOs.

There is a big convenience factor, with a little less warranty.

This is not my experience right now. I'd prefer to go with a local, but the dealer prices are all much higher.

Just curious if there are any more reviews on Carvana.

I bought a Mazda from Carvana July 2017. The transaction was easy. They trumpet full disclosure but in my experience that's not true. A pre-buy inspection revealed paint work on the passenger side. They were shocked I found that. Decided to buy anyway since everything else checked out and the primary driver was a teenager. Well, a year later the car was totaled. That process revealed other work that didn't show on the CarFax, the inspection or their supposedly full disclosure.
