Huh, never realized they only have used cars.

+1. I had a horrible experience with Acura Chevy Chase and in retrospect would gladly have paid a bit more to not have had to deal with them.

My local dealership, for one. I saw the same car both places; Carvana was $2K more ($24K vs $26K).

You are paying for convenience and reputation (Carvana has a money-back guarantee).

If you want cheaper, go to a used car dealer (the ones who sell only used -- they are buying questionable cars from the car wholesale auction in Carlisle) or Craigslist.

CarMax every time

Then Caravana can obviously be beat. Who competes with carvavna best on price?

Because there are people willing to pay several thousand dollars to avoid the hassle of negotiating with someone for a few hours. Carmax demonstrated that this was a viable business model. Everyone else is now just doing it "on the Internet".

So they have the money to build those weird glass car containers.

Internet-addicted youngsters don't want to deal with going into a showroom and talking to people IRL.

I have a buddy who needs a car for his young, growing family. They recently moved from NYC to FL and don't have a car. He just wants to buy something on Carvana and not ever have to deal with showrooms or salesmen.

I told him he was NUTS to not test drive a car before buying (he's very tall).

Basically, with Carvana you're just paying for the lack of hassle. You can't even bother to leave the house.

Because it is business and they are trying to make money by over- pricing the cars.

Because dumb people will pay the prices.

Why do you think they are over-priced?

Any examples where they are charging noticeably more for the same car than its competition?

Please tell me it's because all the taxes and fees are rolled into the price.
