It has a return policy. I didn't have time to read the whole fine print but felt that you won't get your money back, rather have to buy another car.
I am picky when it comes to cars. Have to check all crevices, under the car/etc. I might be wrong but I think these XXX point inspections might be good for the general public but not me.
Usually when I buy a CPO car, I end up giving a list of stuff to the dealer that needs to be done. Either they do it or I get a discount for their misses.
I am amazed that anyone would be so trusting to buy a used car sight unseen. Can someone explain the logic of it.
I bought my first BMW E38 7 series from a wholesaler on ebay, 5 states away. First time I saw it was when I drove it home. Had that car for 5 years and it was fine.
Like anything, you will find people who had good experiences and people who had bad experiences. It is only slightly more risky than buying on from a dealer and about the same risk as buying one at an auction.

Bought my previous car through Carvana, great experience actually. Return policy, delivery/pickup is fair, etc...The vehicle I bought was EXACTLY as described, and I couldn't find one at a dealer near me anywhere.

Its something I would never do. Used cars can be a crap shoot at best. Too many things that can go wrong. Can the vehicle be checked out before purchase, is there a return policy. Not doing it.

We've done it and it worked out great. First of all, you have to know cars...….we build them, so we know cars. Secondly, you have to ask a lot of questions, talk to the owner on the phone, get additional pictures, and the history. Then, when you feel confident, you go see it in person.
One car was a Mach 1 Mustang we flew up to Philadelphia to buy. Owned by a banker, low miles, talked to him on the phone for a long time, and he said " If you see the car, you will buy it." He was right, the car was spotless and we drove it back to Florida without a problem, and the car is still in mint shape today.
Another car was a VW bug we bought out of California, spent a lot of time communicating with the seller, had it shipped to Florida, and it was exactly as described.
We just sold a Mustang to a guy in NJ, had a lot of conversations with him, sent more pictures, and he bought it. He got a great deal and he loves his new car. All the ones in NJ are rust buckets, ours was a rustfree Florida car all it's life.
But, for someone who doesn't know cars inside and out, I can see how people get stung.

I would purchase a short range EV from them because they deliver.
Carvana specializes in that sort of thing. They sell a bazillion Chevy Sparks there.
