    Not much, yet.
    I have. Kind of entertaining but not much else to say about the place.

    I bought my 17 Sport off Carvana, I can't recommend them though. Delivered my Truck with one key and had to take off work and file a claim with them to get them to pay for a second set. Registration problems with them, they said the DMV would not transfer my plate and charged me $400 for a new plate, once again had to take off work and straighten it out at the DMV and fight with them to take the new plate charge off. Truck was delivered with no floor mats which they eventually gave me a set of cheap autozone syle mats even though they said they were gonna ship me an OEM set. I would not do Carvana if I were you.

    I was hoping to find someone that had a referral code I could use.
    I bought my SR5 from them and would like to trade for a Sport. I had no trouble except for registration. The same thing happened. Was supposed to transfer but got new. In my case my old one only had a month left so not as bad.
    If I could get a referral code I could save $500. Not 100% sure I will do it yet.

    Get a membership & try Costco instead. Heard of quite a few good deals through the vehicle program they have there

    we bought my wife's odyssey from there. it was a really cool experience, but i'm not 100% sure if i'd do it again. they were really great to work with for a few minor nitpicks we had about the vehicle (leaky sunroof and a ripped privacy screen). the 2 week or 30 day warranty or whatever it is that comes with the vehicles is nice. The first time we went to fill up, we found a shell gift card or visa gift card stuffed behind the fuel door, so that was a really nice surprise.

    I get the impression that a lot of their vehicles come from northern states, so you really have to be aware that rust could be an issue. just look at the carfax to see. their finance rates are almost always higher than you can get at a local credit union. when i got my taco, i actually got a price from both carvana and carmax because they both will buy your car even if you don't buy theirs. i used that as leverage at the toyota dealership.

    vroom.com Pretty much the same as carvana but like carvana you have to be patient getting the registration papers on an out of state purchase but overall it was a good experience.

    So I found a truck at a local dealer that was a great deal (end of the month) yesterday.
    Thanks all.
