ABOUT CARVANA...

Recently ranked #5 in Forbes Magazines list of Americas Most Promising Companies, Carvana offers the excitement, culture and opportunity of a start-up along with the capitalization and infrastructure of an established business.

We sell cars, but were not salespeople. At Carvana, weve made it our mission to transform how cars are bought and sold. We saw a huge problem with how much it can suck to buy a car the traditional way so we committed to tackling one of the largest, yet-to-be-disrupted markets in the world the $1T per year U.S. car market (yes, thats $Trillion with a T).

We provide a seamless car buying experience for consumers. Carvana features a searchable online showroom of fully-inspected, certified cars, high-resolution 360 photographs of every vehicle''s interior and exterior, real-time financing and warranty packages, and rapid delivery or pick-up options. We deliver cars to the buyers driveway in as little as 24 hours or offer pick-up from one of our state-of-the-art car vending machines (yes, you read that right) all with a 7-day money back guarantee. With no dealerships or commissioned sales people, we also save thousands of dollars per car, which we pass on to our customers.
