Default Carvana experiences? They have a '14 C7 Conv $40k

Just saw this on Carvana.

https://www.carvana.com/search/20000...vette-stingray

If it was a M7, I'd be pretty tempted. Lowest price I've seen on a C7 convertible.

Any experiences with Carvana? Unique business model for sure. Reviews seem to be good for the most part. 7 day period to test the car after buying (I think they allow about 400 miles max) and can return for refund if not satisfied. I believe you would just incur shipping charges if you're not located near one of their car dispensary machines.

From what I've heard, it doesn't suck.

Off 121 just West of DNT. Yes, go by and look at it. It's about a 5 or 6 story glass tower that the cars are in, kind of like a candy machine.

Saw that. It was actually listed a week ago for $41, and checked out of curiosity this morning and listed at $40 and appears sold since this morning. Damn if only a M7, my search would be over. Just can't settle for an auto.

The ad did say it had 46K miles, which explains the price. It's also a base (non-Z51) model.

I've seen other cars advertised by them. I guess the mechanical ckout period is AFTER you buy it, and during that first week. I dunno...I'm not so sure I'd like to give over my money, and THEN get the car checked out...just me tho. I'm sure it will work for others since it's kind of a "gotta-get-my-car-now-thing."

46,000 miles turns me off. I just can't get excited over a corvette with that mileage unless it was a classic.

I actually bought my '15 A8 from them a couple months ago. 3LT with 27k miles for $45,000. Most comparable inventory was $1500-$2000 higher.

I generally had a good experience. Their description missed a couple of minor scratches but not enough to make me walk away. They did a good job with a couple extras. Don't be afraid to negotiate after you buy during the return period. I got them to pay for an alignment, cargo net, and one wheel.

But it did have a new set of tires, an oil change, and a full detail (including the wax residue on a couple places).

Know that financing can be a little different. I have banking relationships with both BOA and Chase. But neither recognized Carvana as an authorized dealer. I ended up going with Lightstream for the loan (for an even better rate as it turns out). Lightstream funded my bank account the day before and treated it like a cash purchase. I think a lot of folks end up just choosing the Carvana financing, which I didn't find to be competitive at all.

I would never buy that car with that many miles. That car is 4 years old compared to my 2019.

Yes, l bought my C7 out of one of their vending machines.

...Took a whole lot of quarters, thought my arm was going to fall off feeding them into the coin slot, but other than that it was a piece of cake.

The bottom-feeders have to buy on price alone. Miles, condition, and Carfax/GMVIS, mean nothing to ppl w/o high-line cash or top-tier credit......

I think mileage is subjective. I bought a used C6 with 40k miles, put 45K more on it in 18 months, then bought a new C7 at the end of 2017 when there were deals to be had. When I bought the C6 I considered Carvana, but preferred a car I could see, first.

This car is under 30k. What did you pay for your 2019?
