Carvana
Carvana is a U.S.-based online used car retailer and ecommerce platform that lets customers search, browse, finance, purchase, trade, and sell vehicles entirely online without visiting a traditional dealership. Users can explore a nationwide inventory of thousands of pre-owned cars, view detailed listings and photos, compare options, and see transparent pricing with no haggling, then complete financing applications, trade-in evaluations, and purchase contracts through the website from start to finish. Once a purchase is made, Carvana offers home delivery or pickup at one of its distinctive multi-story “car vending machine” locations in select markets, with some delivery options available as soon as the next day and a 7-day return policy that gives buyers time to try their car in the real world. It aims to simplify and streamline the often stressful car-buying process by removing sales pressure, reducing hidden fees, and providing a user-friendly digital experience.
