I used to work at a Carvana vending machine detailing all the cars, the cars would actually come out pretty decent as long as we had all the right chemicals and car wash equipment. However when I got moved to the inventory lot to do the same thing, the job quickly declined, the zoning of the inventory lot gave us a lot of issues and the city ordered we could not wash cars on the property, now imagine all the sold cars that got delivered that we had to prep without the help of a pressure washer or soap. This man's experience basically makes sense to me but I can only imagine how others feel about buying cars from Carvana.

I took a lot of pride delivering cars for Carvana, genuinely enjoyed the reactions of most people receiving the car they have been waiting for or saving up for. But the people behind it, some of the most double standard and self-centered management I've ever experienced. They use cleaning and detailing as a second hand chore or punishment, which is disgusting because I'm going over everything to make each delivery count, and 9 times out of 10 you don't have spare time laying around. Getting off the phone with a customer and mapping out my route and how long everything takes, only to pick up the car from detail completely half-assed because the person on punishment is just sitting around on youtube or instagram. Everyone knows how terrible a company they are inside and out, oh and by the way, NOBODY knows how to drive stick...literally nobody, and the ones that "do", grind your gears down taking 42 attempts to get it up the flatbed. And you thought the bumper scrape was bad lol. Stay away from Carvana. Edit: im talking shit and hating on them, but also how do they stay in business. Every new hire they bring on get a paid trip to Arizona for 6 days to "learn how to operate an Izuzu NPR flatbed". Airbnb, paid ubers, and reimbursed food/drink. They may not be doing it right now, but from the start of their business up until March 2020 with COVID they were flying HUNDREDS of people to AZ weekly. wtf

I bought a civic type r from carvanna as well and had no issues. I've owned the car for a month now and still nothing off about it. Steering wheel on mine was hella dirty as well, but just took some cleaning solutions and got that off pretty easy peasy. I had a few scratches on mine too including one the website listing didn't mention but I mean it's a civic type r. Can't go wrong driving one they're amazing cars. They're just in such high demand it's hard to get one local. Getting one delivered from Carvana was just the way go. Thats a bummer your shift knob was messed up

Dang, anxiety overload watching the delivery of the car come off the truck and scraping the lip. The scratches, worn steering wheel, and jacked shift knob, just return it. If you’re going to spend $60k on a used LE, you should get one that’s mint, they’re out there. Just my thoughts anyway. Interesting video, looking forward to the next

Racing gloves are generally cleanish … however, if you’re doing your own work on wheels/brakes and get filthy then hop in the car, that’s how this happens (to me at least). oops.

The steering wheel, and seats definitely came from an ebay listing.

I’ve worked at carvana at one of their inspection/repair centers and you’d be shocked at how many cars are fucked up like that. They may repaint a quarter panel or bumper and buff out some scratches but that’s it. They basically make these cars look okay for the pictures and put them up for sale. So many of them smell horrendous inside like smoke or mildew, paint fading and chipping, transmissions shifting like it’s full of rocks, all kinds of issues from mechanical problems to body damage. I would advise everybody to never purchase a vehicle through them. There’s a reason used car salesmen are typically labeled “sleazy”, now turn that guy into a corporate entity pumping out thousands of vehicles a month and you’re asking for trouble. Be smart people, there’s a reason they want to just drop it off to you and leave once you buy it, making a purchase as large as a car shouldn’t be as easy as ordering from amazon.

If this was a couple months ago I could have sold you my boosted Blue 2021 Type R! If you kept it, I did a couple things that ended up making a lot of difference. I added mudflaps (because the paint it too thin), PPF to the whole front of the car, Side markers that tied into the turn signals, interior cabin lights to LED lights, Swapped all the speakers in the car and added an amp for a better subwoofer that still fit in the hub, some noise-canceling mats in the doors and under the dash so make the cabin a little quieter since I was on the highway a lot, and of course some window guards just because. Had a lot of fun with the car though, I just changed out to a 2022 VW golf R. Hope you enjoy it once everything gets rolling.

literally got fired for bringing too much attention to a customer's issue where a customer was told when her contract was getting rebuild after title issues and it took 5+ months of dealing with her contract being rebuilt, several reps told her she will have the delayed months of rebuild( mind you she couldn't make payments while system showed no purchase or contract) she was told we will cover those payments. Until bridgecrest( the financing ) started threatening to tow due to lack of payments. very VERY long story short and many arguments with management later I was finally successful at getting carvana yo honor their word to her. No where in training do they tell u to warn customer's to continue to make payments or put those payments in savings because they will be charged one lump sum. This woman had just lost her daughter, husband went blind and dealing with bs reps who didn't care and she was ready to sue... until she got me. We were told to treat customer's as if they are our mother...( the unspoken fine print to this "company principal" unless it doesn't benefit carvana. Principles only apply when it makes carvana $$) after the light and questioning the system I was then plotted against and 30 days later fired after I was sent home due to child needing covod test. They then refused unemployment claiming I knew I broke the rules. The owner has earned himself the title of WORLDS BEST SCAMMER. Plus THEY DO NOT EVER INSPECT THE VEHICLES DESPITE WHAT THEY CLAIM. 95% OF THEIR VEHICLES ARE LEMONS!!!!

I ordered a Mustang from them. It was raining when it showed up so I couldn’t inspect the paint. Went to the car wash the next day. When the brushes cleaned the front, blocking the air intake, my engine temp skyrocketed. When the brushes moved to clean the sides, the temp went down. Clean and dry, I inspected the paint. Multiple chips in the paint, one was down to the metal so it’s going to rust. Checked the fluids, BONE DRY COOLANT TANK. The car had no coolant, which explains the high engine temp when air is blocked. The pipe connected to my left muffler broke. My mechanic had me come out to the shop floor so he could show me something, which has never happened before. Because of insurance shops don’t let people wander around the garage. He showed me the terrible welding job someone did to connect the pipe to mufflers NOT for a 2014 Mustang. He said the mufflers likely came from a Mustang GT and someone thought they would sound better. Then he pointed to writing on the mufflers. Someone used a grease pen to but “AB” on each muffler with a circle around the letters my mechanic said “That’s what they do at junkyards.” So my Carvana car showed up with chipped paint, no coolant, and junkyard mufflers for a different vehicle attached by a welder with no skill.

It’s absolutely crazy how you notice stuff like that because I wouldn’t even notice it at all. I’m so used to small chips and dings that it really doesn’t bother me. Even on my new car I wouldn’t notice the stuff you pointed out

I have heard basically the same story from SOO many people that purchased from Carvana. I went with Car Max to get my like new Audi S3 and couldnt be happier- everything was as is in the picture (like new) and the price was right and 100K warranty from them is top notch.

I bet you that car has been tracked a number of times which would explain the change out of front tires with 4K+ miles and the dirty steering wheel. Just imagine how much sweat and grime on the suede steering wheel from the driver that did those track days. In addition buying a limited edition vehicle, site unseen, no PPI what could you expect. While it may no be up to your measure even if you give it back there are others that would buy that vehicle and move on. Probably what your looking for you would need to have a PPI done on a vehicle before purchasing that is not in your local. It takes a lot of the guess work out of it.

Different front tires? What do you think happened to them? 🤔

I heard you say that the car was supposed to have 4600 miles but I noticed when you started the car for the first time the odo shows almost 4800 miles. If they listed it at 4600 or close to it, where did those extra 200 miles come from?

Looks like some parts were swapped from an older R and the steering wheel as well swapped from a 2020 R. The doors have so many scuffs especially by the speaker grill

I’m also going to guess this might have been a press/demo car , those PSC’s where roasted odd , appears to have had rough first 4500 miles

Wonder if that car was wrecked before? Steering wheel replaced because airbag blew? Front tires replaced from being wrecked or just ripped?

I think the delivery driver needs to be retrained on how to load/ unload a car,and maybe (by his own omission) not try and clean a steering wheel.

A car only looks perfect once, the first time it rolls off the truck. That being said, I would ask Carvana for an adjustment in price as a refund.

Purchase went pretty good with no problems but when it came them them delivering my truck, oh boy what a joke. I bought a red F-150 with a brush guard and when it came to delivery, they delivered the wrong truck not once but twice! When they finally delivered the right truck it had way more scratches and chips that they stated. Since it's a used truck, it is expected but it would of been nice to know. Then it came with a soft bed cover and they didn't secure it so during transport it was left flailing in the wind which led to it tearing in many places. The driver said do a post delivery claim on their website but their system kept on saying error! Dealing with human was almost impossible and don't bother texting since it mostly bots with a scripted response. Needlessly to say after a whole week, it finally went through. However I'm still waiting to resolve the issues and I will never deal with Carvana again even tho I like the truck.

They scraped it when they put it on , so what’s the difference

Love that car my boss actually owns one I was there on the delivery day, it the same one yellow has only driven it 4 times in the las 10 months or so, but every time he takes it out it looks so good.

Caravana is a classic case of ‘growing to fast for its own good’. They can’t keep up with demand or update their infrastructure fast enough which is hurting their business, especially when it comes to customer satisfaction.

I've bought 2 vehicles from carvana, both with trade ins. Both vehicles were very clean and as described in the ad. First vehicle delivery was delayed. It was frustrating. Second vehicle came without a hitch. I suggest it. Just stay on top of the transaction and make sure you get extra info if it's from an "affiliate" seller. Check the carfax. It should have mileage records each time it was serviced, if it was serviced. Chances are this was owned by a young mechanic who drove back and forth to his job as a mechanic, which is where all the grime came from.

Maybe I’m just different because the tires wouldn’t bother me. I always mod my cars so I’d be swapping the stock wheels for wider and smaller ones regardless. The cosmetic issues and the steering wheel are definitely understandable. Especially for a 4,600 mile car.

Do they take the trade right away or after 7 days?

Do you not sign for delivery in person? I'd refused delivery...

Tires, original owner probably got a nail or something and replaced both as you should. The steering wheel, the alcantra is a pain to keep clean. The shift knob, previous owner must of had an aftermarket knob on. Pull the shift boot down and adjust the 14mm lock nut to fix the OE knob. Just bc its an LE doesnt mean the original owner took good care of the car.

Doubt it was a nail. I'm thinking FWD car in hot Arizona and tires got worn down to 50% or lower, because cup2 tires don't last that long, then Carvana replaced the tires with the cheapest thing they could get to resell

Looks like a mechanic drove it to go pick up parts. Lol

i bought my very first car from carvana back in september. its a 2010 camaro ss with a manual trans. before i get into the issues, i decided to keep the car because it was my dream car and i wasnt looking for a perfect example like you were. i wanted something that i could take and make my version of perfect. so heres where carvana took shortcuts, both front and back bumpers were obviously resprayed and have orange peel, overspray in a lot of places including on the passenger side front wheel. their inspection failed to find a broken suspension component. and this car being a 12 year old, 83,000 mile car, i obviously expected there to be scratches and just what you’d expect to find on a car with this amount of miles and age. on carvana’s listing, they only had pointed out like 3 or 4 of the many scratches all over the car, both doors had chips at the end like yours did in the video, both mirrors were scratched at the ends, the front quarter panels were covered in rock chips. when looking at the car from a little bit of distance, these things really arent noticeable, but when inspecting the car up close they are really noticeable

I work for for carvana. I’m the reconditioning manager. What site was this car delivered to you from?

I’m curious to know what you ultimately decided. If you kept it, I hope it’s turned out well for you. People say that you can’t expect something nice from a used car but I disagree. I keep my cars very nice. Of course, I car a lot about aesthetics. Some people don’t, as evidenced by the prior owner.

That mileage is rolled back 100%, I hope you utilize that 7 day return policy and had them pick it up

In the process of returning a 2016 Mazda 3 that had 72k miles and I was the third owner.. thing bad bad rust underneath I don’t know how it past a 150 multi inspection

Guy bought it, beat it up, and got rid of it... wonder what the status of the motor and the clutch are?

The driver could have tilted his deck back up slightly and brought the wheels to the end of the deck and dropped it back down to get it off without scraping the bumper. A real shame.

My 2020 R is in way better shape with 10k miles. Get Sonax Alcantara cleaner, let it sit on the wheel for a time, follow their instructions and brush it out. Check out AmmoNYC’s channel for how to detail and degrease the interior. Don’t use products that are too strong. Snag a little steamer and use it to straighten the creases in the seats. It’ll all come right back with no problems. With all of that said, have an independent mechanic do a PPI on this car before you decide. It looks very heavily tracked for some reason. I’m extremely suspicious that this wasn’t beaten on for clout at a few track days.

Isn’t it supposed to have the the type r symbol on the steering wheel?

carvanna does not make a price adjustment for the vehicle? ANd the issues are more cosmetic versus substantive, at the end of the day? Expectations seem to be out of balance, relative to the transaction? Either do, or not, there is no inbetween (YODA).

Let me tell you 2 things: 1) The dirty steering wheel and armrest is because the Alcantara material…idk why companies use that material 🤦🏻‍♂️ 2) You should’ve waited for the all new 2023.

People need to stop saying "you should have waited" for the 11th gen. cars. I hear it constantly about my 10th generation Si coupe. The 10th generation Si and Type-R look so much better than the new ones and are hands down the coolest Civics ever. Not to mention, no coupe for the Si and it was neutered of features that will be on the new Integra.

I personally hate Alcantara, It's some synthetic material that doesn't hold up well. I would much rather have a leather for the materials in the car. Easier to clean and if you take care of it it will outlive the car. Also It's kinda dumb Alcantara is the premium version.

I feel your pain dude. I just bought a Tesla Model 3 Preformance with Vroom and I had a horrible experence with them. After 4 weeks of paperwork runaround I was finally given a 2 week dilevery window. The communication was horrible throughout the whole process. Well come delivery day by driver was an hour late then he called and delivered the car to the wrong address 1 block over so I did not get a chance to see the car come off the truck. He just drove it to my address. Well the car was incredibly dirty inside and out. They never washed it. There were scratches all over the car that were not listed. There were 2 rather nasty spyder chips on the top glass of the car. The bassenger side "B" pillar internal pannels fasteners are broken and the pannel easily pops off. The list goes on. I spent so much time and effort into getting this car that I kept it and had to fix all these problems on my own. Vroom did not take responsibility for the missing items in the description of the car. They basically just told me that I signed for the car at delivery and was not reported to the driver. And that I had a 7 day window to return the car but I would loose all the money I spent for the delivery fee. MY WARNING TO EVERYONE IS THIS... DONT BUY A CAR ONLINE USING CARVANA OR VROOM!!! YOU WILL JUST HAVE RUNAROUNDS AND HEARTACHE!!!

Did you ever get a response ? Did they give you anything?

Regarding the steering wheel: that wear is typical of driving gloves. Driver had black leather and a strong grip. Also shows it was driven HARD to have that grip wear.

This thing has to be a repo or something. How did they eat the original tires in 4k miles? Then they put on cheap junk instead of good Michelins. My Si with 18k miles looks way better than this limited edition R.

The steering wheel in terms of the steering wheel it could prob be fixed with some soap and water and just a quick detail. However to answer your question as to why it looks different is simple alot of the interior pictures on carvana were confirmed to be photo edited so it's very likely that is the OG steering wheel but the photos were edited to make it look insanely better than it actually was.

Same experience for me taking delivery of a bmw m235i. The interior was not clean and the car not even serviced. The dash even gave a warning it needs service. Ended up returning after 3 days. For what they charge on those cars it’s not worth it. Their prices are on the higher end of the market.

Blows my mind that people spend that much money on something they haven't seen in person

That LE is missing parts, previous owner definitely removed some of the LE goodies before Carvana bought it lol

I can't believe you've had these issues with Carvana!!! I've been having my Fiat 500 Pop Sport for 3 years. My car has never given me any issues!!! Everything advertised was exactly what it was when it reached me. Hope you are able to figure it out. I'm guessing, the different locations yield different experiences. San Antonio, Texas here! All of my interactions, with Carvana, have been honest.

Im thinking the delivery driver swapped out the steering wheel and shifter for his own car. ( he referenced tryin to clean it himself and had the same problem for his car). WHY WOULD A DELIVERY DRIVE TRY TO CLEAN THE CAR🤔 or he did the damage.

Sorry Bro send it back. That steering wheel is dead evidence of odometer tampering. No way that steering wheel should look that way at 4K miles. Google super kilometer filter, your car's mileage has been stopped.

Type R’s sell for so much over MSRP regardless of year or mileage. Carvana has nothing to gain from rolling back the miles but so much to lose. Most likely was a press or training car for track use

I found a 2018 tundra through caravana June of 2020 they shipped it to their Kansas City hub from Texas. When I picked it up from the vending machine it was a quick easy process. Younger professionals from the looks of it who couldn’t be making much based on the pride in their work. The detail was so awful I figured first thing I’d do is give the car a proper cleaning (I spent some time working for a dealership contractor) after making the interior look new I noticed the frame was rusted all the way around the truck. With my knowledge of automobiles I know that Toyota has had issues in the past with frame rust so I ran a vin inquiry and it was never a part of any recall program. I took it to my personal mechanic and typically you’re waiting 20-25 minutes to talk to your guy about what passes and what does not pass their inspection but I barely sat down in the shops waiting area before they walked me out to the truck, told me that they would not buy it in its condition. I took their advice and took the truck back. It took them 6 days to get me my old Tacoma back because they had already sent it off to the “inspection location”. Is this the same station that may have let this rusted out Tundra pass through?? Caravana is a joke. Look at dealership reviews, read them for their best salesperson, pony up and go interact with people in the real world. You can avoid all of Carvanas BS this way. Believe it or not, I saved money buying my NEW 2021 Tundra from a dealer and I like going to get it serviced at the dealership and catching up with my sales lady and service advisor.

Is that a built in G meter in the middle of the speedo?

Yea whoever had it before definitely swapped the steering wheel ! There’s no reason for that ! I’m sure you probably figured it out but you can change the walk away lock feature on the radio !

Probably was crashed and air bag deployed. They fixed it cheap and crash wasn’t reported. Super shady.

The car was probably raced for most of its miles that’s why the steering wheel is all beat up and had front tires replaced it also could have had the whole front end clear bra that’s why it doesn’t have rock chips. I would keep it it has very low miles is very rare and all the problems you pointed out can be fixed easily.

I think the accident had a minor front end collision. Thats why the steering wheel and tires were replaced. Airbag likely deployed so they needed to buy a new one. Probably did it under the table and did not report it.

have honda run the vin to see the options that car came with. only 4500 miles and the brakes are half way worn down? there is no way unless they were running it hard to the point there was bluing on the rotors. i would reject it. seems like there was major work done to it.

Being front wheel drive with those miles the I am shocked cup 2 tires lasted that long. On my vette I pampered I got 2460 miles out the rears.
