...and this translated into very poor quality vehicles because they couldn't afford proper inspections and repairs (don't have to fix what you don't find! Let the customer sort it out! And be incredibly annoying to contact, so they maybe just go away...ie the Google model of customer service!) and their on-the-road staff were horribly trained. There are multiple videos out there of Carvana staff dropping people's "new" cars off the backs of the flatbed trucks.

I remember seeing the ads for them hiring delivery drivers and it amounted to "have a pulse? friendly? We'll train you to drive a large commercial vehicle and load/unload cars, wooo!"

If I remember correctly they were banned from car sales in multiple states, in some cases states banning them multiple times: https://www.google.com/search?q=carvana+banned+in+what+state...

Not sure why you were downvoted. They got their Raleigh (Wake County) license revoked for a while for selling cars with Virginia, South Carolina and Georgia titles IN North Carolina. Cars weren't passing basic safety inspection and sometimes they didn't even provide the title after months!

Transferring an out of state title in NC hits you with a road tax up to a defined upper limit ($400 I believe is the absolute highest) based on car value and state you transfer from, so they likely did this to avoid paying that sales tax themselves before selling the car. It's shady as hell.
