Additional warning to those considering Carvana, state of Florida has given them 2 weeks to produce over 300 proper titles as far back as 2019 or they will be permanently shut down but having their dealer license revoked. This problem is throughout the country and it will be only a matter of time before the rest of the company is shut down too.

Unscrupulous business practices have plagued this company for some time.

Yeah it is nuts, and it's about $7K higher than what's considers the fair average price (I think even that's high). It's at a place called Greater Chicago Motor's.

I agree with jahummer said. Carvana has a lot of issues. One of their biggest is/was getting DMV paperwork done. Part of that problem was during the peak of COVID most states shut everything down, including DMVs. That made it difficult enough for people living in a state where it was shut down. Doing everything via mail or FedEx though was a nightmare. Carvana's problem is that they are basially a virtual car dealership that ships and sells cars to just about every state, and they have to deal with each state's version of DMV. That said, pretty much all DMV's (or most) are open now so it shouldn't be an issue, but some people are still reporting issues getting tags. I think the Kioks and growing too big too fast really put the company in trouble. It costs $2.5 to $5 million per kiosk, and those are mostly a novelty. Most people have their car delivered, which is the 3rd problem Carvana has.

The cars themselves seem to be good cars. The staff and support... not so much so.
