Carvana review

Carvana is the most complete online buying option on this list. Its pages describe a process where you shop, finance and trade in online, then take delivery at home or pick the car up. Each car comes with a 7-day return window, and Carvana's certified program says a return within 7 days of delivery gets a refund minus shipping fees. Used cars include a limited warranty for 100 days or 4,189 miles, whichever comes first, covering most mechanical and electrical failures, and Carvana describes a 150-point inspection before sale. Optional Carvana Care service plans and GAP coverage are sold separately. Carvana ranks sixth because it only sells its own stock, so you cannot compare it with other dealers or private sellers inside the site, and fixed online prices plus delivery fees can make it pricier than buying locally. We could not load Carvana's pricing pages from our location, so price fields are pending.
