Carvana Literally Dropped Off A Customers Hyundai Genesis
Carvana Literally Dropped Off A Customers Hyundai Genesis-June 2024
2024-02-19 EST 22:09:26

Carvana touts its delivery service as an integral part of how convenient online car buying can be. I mean, who wouldn’t want their vehicle literally dropped off at their door? But I don’t think customers want their vehicles dropped in the literal sense of the word. But as reports, that’s exactly what happened with one Carvana customer.

The Carvana customer in question, one on TikTok, posted videos of the incident. In the first clip, chrisdankers7 is taking delivery of his Hyundai Genesis Coupe. Comments from the videos show that the car was purchased for $30,000. Some might think that’s a high amount for a car whose last production year was 2016 — until you learn that this example has just 10,000 miles on it.That doesn’t mean there aren’t any problems though. (I’ll get to that in a bit.)

Everything starts off normal, with the tow driver unloading the car. As the flatbed tilts back, however, you see the car start to roll while the tow operator makes sad attempts to stop the car from rolling off the flatbed, which hasn’t completely reached the ground. In the cringiest moment on the Internet this week, the bottom of the car slams on the edge of the flatbed before slamming into the ground.

Like you, I have many questions. Mainly, why was this person in charge of operating a tow truck? It’s obvious they forgot to engage the parking brake. If you can’t remember to do a simple thing like that, you should find another profession. Rather than get rid of the car though, chrisdankers kept it. In a second posted on his page, he details the damage done to the vehicle. Interestingly, some of the issues the car has were issues that were supposed to be fixed before Carvana shipped the car. From Motor1:

…another clip (embedded below) takes us under the hood while a narrator talks about alleged issues ranging from coolant leaks to bad power steering fluid and replacement body panels that were supposed to be swapped prior to shipping. Through video comments, we learn the car reportedly had just 10,000 miles on it when he purchased it through Carvana. From the sounds of it, the poor car hasn’t had it very easy despite the low mileage.

As , if you’re buying a car from Carvana — or anywhere else for that matter — do your due diligence and either visually inspect the car yourself or have a mechanic come with you to help you inspect it. While it sucks that the car was damaged while being unloaded, issues with a car with such low miles that were only found after he got the car home are a whole other issue. And with the resulting damage from the tow truck, this could turn into a mess that Carvana might drag their feet on making right.

For $7,950, This 1990 Lincoln Mark VII LSC Will Let You Let It All Hang Out
Today’s MK VII and Marie Antoinette have a lot in common; both wore bustles and both had their tops chopped off. This Lincoln at least was given a replacement, but you’ll still need to decide if its price also needs to be replaced. Home is where you find it. Also,...

How About This Blast From The Past 1978 Ford Pinto Wagon For $3,950?
Time magazine once called Ford’s Pinto one of the worst cars in history. Today’s wagon doesn’t really look all that bad, but you’ll still have to judge if it comes with the worst price in history. Is there anything more sad than a grizzled old hippie? I mean, they’re rarer...

Today’s S10 may have been built like a rock, but seeing as its a rare Baja maybe that should be construido como una roca. Either way, we’ll have to see if this trucklet’s price will rock your world. While Tuesday’s gnarly Volvo may have squeaked out a narrow Nice Price...

Today’s Mercedes Benz C36 AMG was originally built to challenge BMW’s M3 and is one of only 200 that were ever imported to the U.S. to do so. Your challenge is to decide if this low-mileage example is . There wasn’t much question as to which of those options was...

How About This Amazing 1977 International Motorhome For $35,000?
Today’s custom motorhome was once a cement truck. It’s now a house and a garage, but will its price have you planning on moving in, or moving on? What do they say, close but no cigar? Well, the vote on yesterday’s (GB for Great Britain, did you get that?) was...

For $4,750, This 1989 Honda GB500 Could Be Your Retro Retro-Bike Dream
Today’s Honda is an old bike that’s emulating an even older motorcycle breed - that being the traditional British single. In movie parlance that makes it a mix of Back to the Future and Inception, but will you find it worth the price of admission? Oh Saab, what has become...
