Technology gives us the world at our fingertips, and that’s more clear than ever as an online used car dealer makes it way into the Tucson market.
Carvana, a technology business start-up headquartered in Phoenix, recently expanded to reach Tucson customers. This online-only used car dealer gives customers the chance to shop, finance, and trade in vehicles from anywhere, at anytime- all through their website. This way, buyers can investigate their potential purchases from the comfort of their own home- a popular convenience that many are interested in.
Carvana.com features about 8,000 vehicles, with detailed descriptions and photos. The company also offers financing and free next-day-delivery on some occasions.
Carvana made headlines by permitting buyers to pick up their cars from multistory vehicle “vending machines” in seven cities, something that has yet to arrive in Tucson. Another attractive incentive is the company’s offer to reimburse customers for up to $200 in one-way airfare to pick up their new cars at one of their vending machines, which are found in Atlanta, Nashville, Houston, San Antonio, San Francisco, Austin, Raleigh, and Jacksonville. Plans to install a machine in Tempe are in the works as well.
Co-founded by Ryan Keeton and Ernie Garcia in 2012, this innovative new way to purchase used cars allows buyers to test drive their new ride for seven days, with a money-back guarantee. This way, drivers can make sure the car fits into their daily routine and gets them where they need to go.
Customers in 48 states have received cars via this website, which also offers trade-in services with Carvana going to the customer’s home to retrieve the car.
There are many ways to search for a vehicle on this website, including by model, style and payment. For more information, please visit the official website here.
