DIRTY IN A HURRY.
Me and my wife bought our first electric vehicle from Carvana vending machine at its Oak Brook location. A 2020 nissan leaf, our appointment to pick up the car and leave our old vehicle as a trade was at 6:45 pm everything good, smooth, and so exciting to see our kids so happy on inserting the token into the vending machine to receive the vehicle. After all this nice experience, we got into the new car and drove away home very excited all of us for this electric car. The next day, first thing in the morning, we drove to the nearest charging station for a full charge. A few days later and after we installed a 240 V electrical outlet at the garage for charging purposes we check for the car charger into the trunk and it was a Ford brand 120V charging cable, non compatible with our electric outlet of 240v we previously install. Without mention, the car was dirty. All the interiors were just wiped out on top of the dog or cat hair and dust with some kind of shiny spray product to make it look good at first. The rear wiper blade was completely gone. it needed a new one. I consider a minor thing all this. I can clean and vacuum, the car, not a problem. The new wiper blade is just 15 dollars, not a problem. we get a new one. But the car charger cable from nissan costs around 2000 dollars from the dealer. It is supous to come with the car included,but for my inexperienced and not check completely everything on this car between the 7 days period for returning the car they told me can't be nothing done about it. Sorry for the inconvenience. We are happy with the car. I just hope the description of the vehicle when I was looking at it online was saying something about this charging cable. Fortunately, there are after-market charging cables a lot cheaper than the OE, but of course, it is not OE. I almost forgot to mention the rat droppings in the motor compartment under the hood. Rat can do a lot of damage to wires when they eat wire insulation. Check check check if you decide to buy a car from here and let them know asap to avoid anyissues. May 15 of 2023.
This is just a follow-up on our experience of the EV vehicle we got from Carvana on May 2nd of 2023.
This past weekend, to be exact , last Saturday, the 13. The car just did not want to start and displayed a massage saying "warning service EV System, No Power. Immediately, my bets are the rodents got into the electronics. I don't know what to do. Unfortunately, I know Carbanas' response. The gonna tell me to take to one of our service facilities to be checked and repaired. Like I said over a chat with one of the Carvana representatives, I don't trust you, and I need my regular mechanic to tell me if we makenour biggest mistakes on getting this car for Carvana vending machine I'll keep posting good or bad news all depends on my luck.

It has passed 16 days. Just 16 days after we received the electric car from Carvana and it's been a Rollercoaster since. A couple of days bring happy moments and the rest. Just a nightmare and frustration. This is the vin or identification number of the car 1N4AZ1CP1LC308442, now carvana can identify the vehicle that was sold to us, if they care i will suggest them to follow up on the process the car was, before handling it to us. Someone did not make its job. And for that reason it costs me and my family $ 900.00 on repairs. Silver Rock Carvana's warranty provider just told me by text, " Good news, due to your vehicle mileage, your car still under manufacturer warranty, take it to Nissan." I'll include a picture of the Automotive shop invoice and the damaged area for the rats. Remember, we just realized one day after the 7 days of money back warranty. This is the explanation for Carvana representatives to us. They told us no problem, we can do nothing because the 7 days just passed, but talk to Siver Rock they will take care of your concerns. Yeah, right! Please, if you don't want to end like us, bring your own mechanic to the pickup process, or just by with your trusted dealer, don't worth the headache, even if the agree to fix or replace the vehicle is very inconvenient to have to deal with it. My car is 2020 model with only 15k miles and still some problems on it. The car never was in the inspection process because otherwise, I would not have to go through all this frustrating situation. READ, READ,AND SHARE YOUR EXPERIENCE GOOD OR BAD. Gladly, we will finally be able to enjoy our vehicle after $900 and some frustration. read more
