Customers Continue to Go Through It With Carvana-December 2024

Oh, Carvana. When will you learn that customers just want the titles to their cars? Maybe they’re getting lost in the company this year — who knows? But as Atlanta local news reports, many customers either still don’t have the title to their vehicle, or are going through a hassle trying to get it.

WSB’s investigative reporter Justin Gray spoke with several Carvana customers. They had good things to say about the purchasing experience, noting that it was easy to buy their cars online. As it should be. The problem came when they tried to acquire the titles to their cars, leaving some in what’s described as a “legal and financial” mess.

One Carvana customer, Richard Stanford, bought his car but then waited months and months for the title to come in the mail. One day, he thought he had finally received it, as a FedEx package came for him. Instead, it was a letter saying that the company no longer had the title. So he decided to return the car to Carvana and get his original trade-in back.

“So I gave them a call, said I don’t want it, come pick it up and give me my truck back. OK, no problem,” Stanford said to . But this started even more problems. Carvana told Stanford that the tile to his trade-in would be sent to him in a few days. He never received the title. Georgia’s Department of Driver Services informed him that someone in Arizona had applied for his vehicle’s title.

Another customer named Jessaca Metz in Pennsylvania never received the title for her Ford Fusion. Because of this, the car had to be parked for over a year. “It’s been a runaround. It’s been a disaster since I started dealing with them,” Metz told . She said she kept getting excuses from the company. What’s worse is the Pennsylvania town she lives in is strict with its car registration laws. It’s illegal for a vehicle to even be parked in a driveway if it’s not registered.

While many of Carvana’s customer problems surround registration problems, there’s other bullshit going on. Consumer complaint sites are filled with customers detailing their problems with the company. One site called currently has Carvana sitting at a 1.8 out of 5 with 360 reviews of the company.

For the most part though, if you’ve followed our extensive coverage of Carvana, all we can say at this point is that if you do decide to buy a vehicle from them:.

At $4,500, Would You Make The Call On This 1966 Datsun 411 Wagon?
At $4,500, Would You Make The Call On This 1966 Datsun 411 Wagon?
While the rat rod fad may be fading, well-sorted cars that wear patina as their primary paint will always hold appeal. Today’s Datsun is just such a car. Let’s see if its price makes it look like a clean deal. When I was a little kid I had this...

At $6,900, Is This Manual-Equipped 2006 BMW 650i Automatically A Good Deal?
At $6,900, Is This Manual-Equipped 2006 BMW 650i Automatically A Good Deal?
Today’s 650i rocks amazingly huge 21-inch wheels with rubber band tires. It also comes with a rare six-speed stick. The most important number for us, however, is going to be the price. Let’s see where that lands. So, the one major issue—if you could even call it that—on yesterday’s...

The Porsche Panamera Sport Turismo GTS Is A Very Well-Behaved Beast
The GTS is a freaking V8 turbo Porsche station wagon. Even if you’re just mildly into cars, that description alone should have you fired right up. I will say, this car is not exactly what I expected, but it is pretty fresh. (: One of Porsche’s reps said I could...

This Near-Mint 20-Year-Old Toyota Camry Is One Of The Best Cars I've Ever Bought
Let’s face it: Nobody really wants to own a Toyota Camry, but everyone wishes their automobile was as reliable and trouble-free as one. I’ve aspired to own many cars in my life. An old BMW E46 M3, an air-cooled Porsche 911-even if those are now impossible to afford on a...

At $2,999, Could This Mega-Mileage 2005 Acura TSX Still Be A Mega-Good Deal?
At $2,999, Could This Mega-Mileage 2005 Acura TSX Still Be A Mega-Good Deal?
With over 200K on the clock, today’s Acura has certainly been around the block. Let’s see if its price and rare six-speed stick more than make up for those miles. It’s been so long since Nissan went by Datsun here in the U.S. that few non-car people likely are...
