The toy
Terry H.

The process of buying a vehicle couldn't have been better! I compared many options for a couple of weeks... then the right vehicle with the right price showed up. Actually there were several to choose from. I prequalified and was able to estimate my payments based on down payment and when it came to purchasing, the process only took about 30 minutes to order, confirm my info and schedule my free delivery. No haggling, up-charging or up-selling and no negotiation tactics from a sales manager. Got my vehicle a few days later and it was exactly what the doctor ordered! I had 7 days to return it with no questions asked and it's got a 3ish month warranty as well. Just be thorough about looking over the vehicle and how it drives and functions. My only dislike is the service agreement partner they work with during the warranty period doesn't give you the option of working with dealer/manufacturer repair shops. Something to consider but not a deal breaker. Overall I'll never buy from a dealer again.

Yes...those are scratches, not dirt!

My experience with Carvana was definitely mixed. Overall the selection and application process was fairly easy. After that... it was downhill from there. It started with picking the car up from the local Carvana dealership. They told me I couldn't pick up my car until 7PM because they needed to detail the car. After sitting in the car for less than 60 seconds I immediately noticed the filth. Literally finger nail files, juice stains on the seats, cigarette ashes, the previous owner's medical records, and dirt could be found in the front and the back seats. They clearly didn't even bother picking up the trash or doing a light wipe down. The next day, I wanted to have full sunlight so I could perform a visual inspection of the outside. I noticed several major scratches on the lower fender that were definitely not called out in Carvana's "Conditions" photos or descriptions. I followed their process and filed a claim with SilverRock (their warranty partner). And that's when the foolishness really began. SilverRock is definitely a sketchy company. They denied my claim based off of a flagrant lie which was the "scrap is minor in nature and was disclosed throughout the car buying process." After I provided proof that the damage never disclosed because it was actually documented as being fixed... They then changed course and denied my appeal based on "We have reviewed the issue and determined that it fell within the standards of wear and tear that can come with the purchase of a used vehicle." I would have more than likely purchased the car anyway had Carvana been upfront, but the unnecessary lies and bad dealings of their preferred warranty partner has left a terrible taste in my mouth. If you don't need to... DO NOT BUY A CAR SIGHT UNSEEN. I have excellent credit and income, this is not the right kind of company for those with options. Proceed with caution.

See all

Reviews are mixed. Many highlight the easy buying and selling process, friendly and professional staff, and competitive offers for sellers.

This was so easy. The price was competitive, a truck came to my house and I had a deposit the next day. I will certainly do this again!

Simple as eating a slice of apple pie. Was very impressed at the simplicity of it all. The price they gave for my car was awesome.

I totally agree with Barry R. What is different for me? Stuck in the parking lot at 2am. 2009…read morenot cranking. New battery. Jumping did no good. Knew it had to be electrical. A co-worker brought me home, out of her way. Woke up the next morning thinking, I've got a good job even with it challenging. But I need reliable transportation to keep this job. A friend came by to pick me up 2 weeks earlier. "You've got to do something.". She packed me in her car that rainy day and headed north. We both know Amherst County. First stop was VA Select, and a young woman came out. Okay, I can deal with this. But we checked out a couple of prices before she even got to us. No way with my credit and dead car issues. I waited for VA Select to open. Called. Emily Woody answered. Explained I need to buy a reliable car, but I don't have transportation to va Select. She mentioned filling out online credit application when she got back to me. I said no, I'm not going to do that. I don't even know if you have what I need. I don't even know what I need. Can you send me a pic of your driver's license? Yes. Did you get it? Yes ma'am. When can you be ready? I'm ready now. 10 minutes or so later I'm climbing in a big pickup. Emily had told me cheapest car on the lot was a 2017 Ford Fiesta. She showed me that, and two others in the same ballpark. I just felt happy looking at it. Comparing all three. The hatchback really sold me. Okay, my ride that was just too much for me to keep sinking money into as a single older woman. Was a Volvo 5 speed turbo that my son brought me after my old 240 started giving problems. The story doesn't end with Emily and me going out for a test drive. Silly as this sounds, I look at her and say, so you're going to drive it? Hey, I'm not used to new cars. She hands me the key and says, No, you're the one considering buying this car. You're driving. She cranked up the ac, turned on the radio, and when we pulled out heading north on 29, I floored it. Nope, not a turbo. But, that little car moved like one little bullet. I was satisfied. Story is not over. Sent second son pic of new car and told him about how much Emily was a help. He says, "Yeah, she's nice.". What do you mean she's nice? Like thinking he went to school with her, or maybe her parents? "Nah. She sold us our cars." Not over yet. I'm sitting in the parking lot, relaxing before time to go in. And a young girl stops at my window. "Is this a 2017 Ford Fiesta?? "Yes.". "I saw the red Dot on the back. You got it from VA Select.". Yes. I looked at this car. Went home to think about it. Came back next day and was told it was gone." In a way, I felt bad. But, I really don't. I know Va Select will help her anyway they can.

Had been searching for a vehicle for my son for almost 2 months when I noticed a low mile 2019…read moreDodge Charger on their site with the specs we wanted. Only problem was that dealer was 4 hours away. Called and spoke to Nathan at around 4:00pm. That's when the over the top exceptional customer service experience began. We had recently thought we found a vehicle only to arrive at dealer and find the car was sold. Expressed our concern that this might happen again. Nathan explained the VA Select Policy of not "holding" a car if someone came into lot and wanted to purchase. What he did do, was commit to letting us know upon closing that evening (via text), that the car was in fact still available and we could commit to driving there in the morning. But that wasn't good enough for Nathan. He also went the extra mile and took a picture of a scratch he noticed on the vehicle and sent us pictures. Said he would ask the body shop to buff it out first thing in the morning. We texted Nathan when we departed our house at 6:30am (they don't open until 9) and he was then able to remove it from the lot so no one could purchase since we were now enroute. Upon arriving to the location after 4-hour drive, the first thing we say at the entrance was a shiny, newly detailed Dodge Charger. My son was very excited and Nathan proceeded to give us a 30-minute certificate to do a test drive. This completely suprised us, as our experience had been drive around the block with saleperson hovering in back seat. Son was convinced it was the car after driving it for 5 minutes. Upon our return, Nathan offered us beverages and escorted us to his desk for the daunting "sign and make it yours experience". Not once did we feel pressure. No haggling was required (we knew this before we came), and Nathan patiently answered each and every question. Once the paperwork was complete and ready for us to go to the financing department, we all went outside and talked about the car some more. Nathan shared several personal stories with our family and we were happy that we had him as our salesperson. But it didn't stop there. Once Finanace was ready for us, Nathan took it upon himself to take the vehicle to the the nearby service station and top of the gas tank. Outstanding. The financing process was quick and painless as we had pre-approval for the loan. Robert Seeney (F & I Manager) took over from there and made sure all the paperwork was in order since we were from out of state. He was extremely professional and had the personality of someone who took the customer service experience seriously. Bottom line is that our experience with Virginia Select Auto was exceptionally pleasant and we would hope that everyone would get the opportunity to work with Nathan if in the market to purchase a car. Their no-pressure process is something we will never forget. Thank you VA Select Auto!

Let me start by saying I used to sell cars; but, this is the first time I've ever purchased a car…read morefrom a dealership that I didn't work at. I've also done a European Delivery before. Therefore, I had high expectations for this car-buying experience. I would say that this is a dealership that is untraditional. They do in-house financing for consumers who have less-than-perfect credit. They don't waste any time here. You don't really shop for a car FIRST. You go in, sit down, and fill out all of the credit paperwork before you look at the selection of cars that you can afford. I really liked that. My credit was damaged due to the strain of a divorce. I actually tried to get a car loan 2 months prior to this experience and got denied. This time, I brought in a co-signer and was assured that they could help. Once we were told the paperwork that we would need to be considered, we went home and got it, then came back that same day and they delivered. I appreciated that very much because they treated us with dignity and respect. Our salesman Demetrius and our finance manager Mr. Baez were laid back and really wanted to make sure we had a good experience. Once we were given our budget, we selected the best car available that suited our needs. There was a slight mix-up over one particular car that, first, was in our budget, then wasn't, then was again after we committed to putting down $500. We got the car we wanted but this was the only slight hiccup that we experienced. All-in-all we were treated nicely by the staff, the car is perfect for us and I would recommend to anyone with less than perfect credit and a decent income to check them out. Go see Demetrius.

Don't we all wish we were treated as well everyday as we're treated when we're shopping for a…read morebig-ticket item? I had a terrific experience buying a used Toyota RAV4 at Grace Auto Sales this week. When I chose the less expensive model of the two cars I was considering, Soto never tried to convince me to buy the pricier model. He agreed that the one I chose seemed to be the right fit. Soto and all of his colleagues were pleasant and helpful. The atmosphere was laid back yet efficient. It's very important to me to support local businesses and a bonus when the business is family-owned. It's refreshing to be in the presence of folks who seem to enjoy their jobs and one another. I will update this review if anything goes wrong with the car. Otherwise, assume I'm a happy customer. NOTE: I suggested to the owner that he consider doing away with the scented candle that was burning in the front office. I made the point that while the candle smelled nice enough, many folks (myself included) are very sensitive to fragrances (as evidenced by the booming market of fragrance-free products). The owner received my feedback good-naturedly enough, but left the candle burning as he walked away. Meanwhile, I had to excuse myself, go out to the car and take an antihistamine, before I could return inside to complete the transaction because multiple chemical sensitivity is a real thing and those of us who have it spend extra time and money to avoid being overwhelmed by the off-gassing of scented products and services. I wonder how many folks complain about not having a scented candle burning when they shop for cars. ;-)

When we were sold the car, they stated that this car has been " thoroughly inspected" but somehow after only 5 and half months we have had to put out collectively $10k .. that's way more than the vehicle is even worth. If you plan on buying a car from here, do your research, look over the car thoroughly, if possible take it to a trusted mechanic before you agree to purchase. If we could've avoided this we would have. I hope this helps someone.
