I read Caravan lost their Dealer license in at least one state due to too many shenanigans with titles and paperwork.

What happens when Carvana buys a car with undisclosed issues?

I suppose they are stuck with it.

Most of cars sold by Carvana still have reminder of factory warranty.
My son used to work for them on the inspection/repair lane. Yes, they have a lane who inspect everything. and repair when needed.
But from his opinion, when the lane was going slowly at the beginning, so the cars got properly check, in later years the management gave them less and less time, so you can imagine the results.
They build their tower next to main freeway in Las Vegas, but I don't see more than 50% of the spaces taken in it.
Is that good or bad? I see their website is flooding with cars

Unless they can stick the next buyer with it.

Overall I think Carvana is a bad idea unless you get your own pre-purchase inspection within the 7-day return window.

While Carvana is not setting out to get lemon cars and dump them on buyers, they're not exactly preventing it either.

I think they suffer from success, I don't think they were prepared for the exponential growth, that said, my experience with them wasn't great when shopping for a cousin.

Also I have three front plate brackets for US plates, one has four small screws, the other has two large screws, so they were different. also my '12 Luxury has little dimples for Euro plates as well so six little dimples, four of which were used. Luckily as of last April, Ohio no longer requires front plates.
