CARVANA CATFISHED ME! BUYING A CIVIC TYPE R LIMITED EDITION

What was supposed to be one of my most exciting car deliveries yet turned into an absolute nightmare. I will never buy another car from Carvana after they catfished me and sold me a dirty, damaged CTR LE.
I have 7 days to test drive and make a final decision. I really do love driving this car!

I usually don’t comment on videos but I’m a delivery driver for Carvana. I completely understand some of the points that he made but at the end of the day you are buying a USED car. So a lot of the times the vehicle won’t come worth the original accessories which is listed in the disclaimer at the bottom of the car’s details. For the driver scrapping the bottom bumper unloading the car, he probably could’ve moved the bed a bit lower but when you have a low sitting car, most time it’s going to scrape. Nothing the driver can do about that. He could’ve called you before delivering to ask if you want to pick the vehicle up from the hub. Which I’ve done before with a Porsche. With the scratches that you can feel with your finger nail should be covered as it’s out of our standards. Most of those scratches are a result from third party transportation and isn’t noticed until the day of or day before delivery. Each “hub” is different, especially when it comes to detailing/inspections of the vehicles. My hub and manager takes great pride in making sure the car is detailed inside and out and as for the drivers we care about our customers’ experience. In my honest opinion I don’t think this was a bad experience, the car wasn’t a piece of shit, it had a few scratches, the driver was a little late but there wasn’t anything more Carvana could do. At the end of the day it’s a used car.

I used to work at a Carvana vending machine detailing all the cars, the cars would actually come out pretty decent as long as we had all the right chemicals and car wash equipment. However when I got moved to the inventory lot to do the same thing, the job quickly declined, the zoning of the inventory lot gave us a lot of issues and the city ordered we could not wash cars on the property, now imagine all the sold cars that got delivered that we had to prep without the help of a pressure washer or soap. This man's experience basically makes sense to me but I can only imagine how others feel about buying cars from Carvana. If you ask me its hit or miss, you might get a deal, might get a money pit nightmare

[@popupheadlights]

Same things happened at my hub , we were sharing with an auction company for the bay for detailing and had proper water, they expanded and we got an actual hub but they put it in a shipping warehouse no washing allowed and a ramp that scratches and takes bumpers off

[@djretard]

I’ve worked at carvana at one of their inspection/repair centers and you’d be shocked at how many cars are fucked up like that. They may repaint a quarter panel or bumper and buff out some scratches but that’s it. They basically make these cars look okay for the pictures and put them up for sale. So many of them smell horrendous inside like smoke or mildew, paint fading and chipping, transmissions shifting like it’s full of rocks, all kinds of issues from mechanical problems to body damage. I would advise everybody to never purchase a vehicle through them. There’s a reason used car salesmen are typically labeled “sleazy”, now turn that guy into a corporate entity pumping out thousands of vehicles a month and you’re asking for trouble. Be smart people, there’s a reason they want to just drop it off to you and leave once you buy it, making a purchase as large as a car shouldn’t be as easy as ordering from amazon.

[@sgfreak96]

Definitely embarrassing for carvana to deliver a 4600 mile car in that condition. I understand they have a volume based business model and can’t devote serious time to every car they get but this car is in really bad shape for even 40-50k miles in my opinion. I’d definitely return it, knowing the engine was likely neglected as well.

I took a lot of pride delivering cars for Carvana, genuinely enjoyed the reactions of most people receiving the car they have been waiting for or saving up for. But the people behind it, some of the most double standard and self-centered management I've ever experienced. They use cleaning and detailing as a second hand chore or punishment, which is disgusting because I'm going over everything to make each delivery count, and 9 times out of 10 you don't have spare time laying around. Getting off the phone with a customer and mapping out my route and how long everything takes, only to pick up the car from detail completely half-assed because the person on punishment is just sitting around on youtube or instagram. Everyone knows how terrible a company they are inside and out, oh and by the way, NOBODY knows how to drive stick...literally nobody, and the ones that "do", grind your gears down taking 42 attempts to get it up the flatbed. And you thought the bumper scrape was bad lol. Stay away from Carvana. Edit: im talking shit and hating on them, but also how do they stay in business. Every new hire they bring on get a paid trip to Arizona for 6 days to "learn how to operate an Izuzu NPR flatbed". Airbnb, paid ubers, and reimbursed food/drink. They may not be doing it right now, but from the start of their business up until March 2020 with COVID they were flying HUNDREDS of people to AZ weekly. wtf

I agree, for those miles I would expect it to be pristine. The absence of the OE tires up front, filthy steering wheel, brake wear, and other indicators say it's had a harsh life up until then. Doesn't quite add up. Question is, is the car as it is, worth what you paid?

[@BrisLS1]

That was my question. Was it a bargain? It is hard to buy cars knowing they lived their life 1/4 mile at a time up until you came in. Price matters, and Carvana expects you to understand that. Their business model is, you can afford to complain about tires and replacing shift knobs and rubber things inside the car. They are here to get you TO THAT CAR, which you would not be able to even test drive otherwise.

[@alextatkin1026]

This is how carvana works. They come pick your vehicle up upon a sale. Some trust fund kid beat the living shit out of this car, then sold it for a good amount. r There was a strory from the first year of carvana.

literally got fired for bringing too much attention to a customer's issue where a customer was told when her contract was getting rebuild after title issues and it took 5+ months of dealing with her contract being rebuilt, several reps told her she will have the delayed months of rebuild( mind you she couldn't make payments while system showed no purchase or contract) she was told we will cover those payments. Until bridgecrest( the financing ) started threatening to tow due to lack of payments. very VERY long story short and many arguments with management later I was finally successful at getting carvana yo honor their word to her. No where in training do they tell u to warn customer's to continue to make payments or put those payments in savings because they will be charged one lump sum. This woman had just lost her daughter, husband went blind and dealing with bs reps who didn't care and she was ready to sue... until she got me. We were told to treat customer's as if they are our mother...( the unspoken fine print to this "company principal" unless it doesn't benefit carvana. Principles only apply when it makes carvana $$) after the light and questioning the system I was then plotted against and 30 days later fired after I was sent home due to child needing covod test. They then refused unemployment claiming I knew I broke the rules. The owner has earned himself the title of WORLDS BEST SCAMMER. Plus THEY DO NOT EVER INSPECT THE VEHICLES DESPITE WHAT THEY CLAIM. 95% OF THEIR VEHICLES ARE LEMONS!!!!

Car was tracked or raced. Look at the steering wheel. Likely from racing gloves. The 2 front tires could have been from carvana and they wouldnt know or care to use the same expensive tires all around or the previous owner roasted them and went back cheap

[@Jorge-dw8pb]

yeah especially since most of the dirt seems to be on the lower left side of the steering wheel, many people like to grip that part of the wheel hard while cornering and shifting at the same time, which would explain the amount of wear on that specific part of the steering wheel.

I ordered a Mustang from them. It was raining when it showed up so I couldn’t inspect the paint. Went to the car wash the next day. When the brushes cleaned the front, blocking the air intake, my engine temp skyrocketed. When the brushes moved to clean the sides, the temp went down. Clean and dry, I inspected the paint. Multiple chips in the paint, one was down to the metal so it’s going to rust. Checked the fluids, BONE DRY COOLANT TANK. The car had no coolant, which explains the high engine temp when air is blocked. The pipe connected to my left muffler broke. My mechanic had me come out to the shop floor so he could show me something, which has never happened before. Because of insurance shops don’t let people wander around the garage. He showed me the terrible welding job someone did to connect the pipe to mufflers NOT for a 2014 Mustang. He said the mufflers likely came from a Mustang GT and someone thought they would sound better. Then he pointed to writing on the mufflers. Someone used a grease pen to but “AB” on each muffler with a circle around the letters my mechanic said “That’s what they do at junkyards.” So my Carvana car showed up with chipped paint, no coolant, and junkyard mufflers for a different vehicle attached by a welder with no skill.

I've bought 2 vehicles from carvana, both with trade ins. Both vehicles were very clean and as described in the ad. First vehicle delivery was delayed. It was frustrating. Second vehicle came without a hitch. I suggest it. Just stay on top of the transaction and make sure you get extra info if it's from an "affiliate" seller. Check the carfax. It should have mileage records each time it was serviced, if it was serviced. Chances are this was owned by a young mechanic who drove back and forth to his job as a mechanic, which is where all the grime came from.

[@jimihendrix731]

Guarantee this thing was driven hard af by the previous owner(s). The heavy wear on the brake rotors/pads and worn out front tires in less than 5k miles is a huge red flag.

I bet you that car has been tracked a number of times which would explain the change out of front tires with 4K+ miles and the dirty steering wheel. Just imagine how much sweat and grime on the suede steering wheel from the driver that did those track days. In addition buying a limited edition vehicle, site unseen, no PPI what could you expect. While it may no be up to your measure even if you give it back there are others that would buy that vehicle and move on. Probably what your looking for you would need to have a PPI done on a vehicle before purchasing that is not in your local. It takes a lot of the guess work out of it.

And get a quote from a reputable paint guy to properly fix that one scratch. Also, I would have a Honda Tech check out the car, because I don't think the previous owner baby-d it. They can pull code history.

I know it's to late. This is for future reference to to anybody who sees this comment. Do not put any money into it and return the vehicle. Any money you put into it, Carvana won't reimburse you.

[@Crackle-Crackle]

I can agree with this dude, especially after they gave him such a hard time over his trade in

[@MrSnowFoxy]

carvana is just a terrible company, and thats not even the worst of it. they have straight up sold stolen cars, and make people wait 1-2+ years for the plates for the car you paid for, just keep giving you out of state temp tags until you go to a news outlett or have someone with a large following shout your situation out. I advise No one to trust them.

[@86HellCat831]

I work for for carvana. I’m the reconditioning manager. What site was this car delivered to you from?

[@fishingjimcolon4339]

Dealt with Carvana recently and if I knew then what I know now, I would of never dealt with them. Purchase went pretty good with no problems but when it came them them delivering my truck, oh boy what a joke. I bought a red F-150 with a brush guard and when it came to delivery, they delivered the wrong truck not once but twice! When they finally delivered the right truck it had way more scratches and chips that they stated. Since it's a used truck, it is expected but it would of been nice to know. Then it came with a soft bed cover and they didn't secure it so during transport it was left flailing in the wind which led to it tearing in many places. The driver said do a post delivery claim on their website but their system kept on saying error! Dealing with human was almost impossible and don't bother texting since it mostly bots with a scripted response. Needlessly to say after a whole week, it finally went through. However I'm still waiting to resolve the issues and I will never deal with Carvana again even tho I like the truck.

[@eden20111]

It’s absolutely crazy how you notice stuff like that because I wouldn’t even notice it at all. I’m so used to small chips and dings that it really doesn’t bother me. Even on my new car I wouldn’t notice the stuff you pointed out

[@junito1008]

Let me tell you 2 things: 1) The dirty steering wheel and armrest is because the Alcantara material…idk why companies use that material 🤦🏻‍♂️ 2) You should’ve waited for the all new 2023.

[@mattfraser9]

People need to stop saying "you should have waited" for the 11th gen. cars. I hear it constantly about my 10th generation Si coupe. The 10th generation Si and Type-R look so much better than the new ones and are hands down the coolest Civics ever. Not to mention, no coupe for the Si and it was neutered of features that will be on the new Integra.

[@dougdimidome2223]

Even with Alcantara it shouldn't have worn that fast. I have a 2020 Z Nismo with 40k km and the Alcantara steering wheel is not even close to that one

[@Mrpancake72]

I personally hate Alcantara, It's some synthetic material that doesn't hold up well. I would much rather have a leather for the materials in the car. Easier to clean and if you take care of it it will outlive the car. Also It's kinda dumb Alcantara is the premium version.

[@DoNotEatPoo]

WTH is wrong with these influencer generation people? You're buying a car sight unseen, that's your own fault. If you want a mint condition dream car, always always always inspect it in person, or have a trusted person inspect it. I've bought many cars sight unseen and all of them were in far worse condition than this, but then again I didn't expect perfection and the price was a smokin deal. You're being too picky, especially for a daily and an animal hauler. You don't want to know how new vehicles are treated being loaded/unloaded at shipping/train ports. Many cars aren't even close to mint before they arrive at the dealerships. In most cases touchups and repairs are needed.

[@Vashed555]

My 2020 R is in way better shape with 10k miles. Get Sonax Alcantara cleaner, let it sit on the wheel for a time, follow their instructions and brush it out. Check out AmmoNYC’s channel for how to detail and degrease the interior. Don’t use products that are too strong. Snag a little steamer and use it to straighten the creases in the seats. It’ll all come right back with no problems. With all of that said, have an independent mechanic do a PPI on this car before you decide. It looks very heavily tracked for some reason. I’m extremely suspicious that this wasn’t beaten on for clout at a few track days.

[@ZAKU-GD]

its common for type r steering wheels and shift knobs to be stolen of these Carvava cars since any potential buyer can just apply for the car and have it delivered then swap parts out and the carvana staff would even know if at all. its starting to be a common occurrence with this type of car buying service. sucks, by buddy had a similar experience and returned his car.

[@strykerhellhounds8401]

Tires, original owner probably got a nail or something and replaced both as you should. The steering wheel, the alcantra is a pain to keep clean. The shift knob, previous owner must of had an aftermarket knob on. Pull the shift boot down and adjust the 14mm lock nut to fix the OE knob. Just bc its an LE doesnt mean the original owner took good care of the car.

[@BuyYourBuild]

Doubt it was a nail. I'm thinking FWD car in hot Arizona and tires got worn down to 50% or lower, because cup2 tires don't last that long, then Carvana replaced the tires with the cheapest thing they could get to resell

[@epicwinfacepie]

same thing happened to me but I bought it from a 3rd party. I drove 2 hours away to check out an octane blue evo x, drove really nice, lots of power, paint looked good from the quick glances I took since it was cold. no ticking no anything bad. drove it home 2 hours, and it was great. after 3 days of having it, the weather cleared up, and I saw the worst thing i could imagine. The previous owner told me paint was A+ and very nice, absolutley no rock chips. I trusted him. Now I see both rear passenger doors were DETROYED with rock chips like someone was drifting in a gravel parking lot, and they were all filled in with touch up paint. and also in the sun, both rear quarters were repainted very poorly. probably due to rust, but I hope not. what ever, i took my losses and i boosted away and enjoy. ONE MONTH LATER the motor blows at 110k miles. i drove the car a whopping 3 times. never went full throttle, car only made 360hp. most boost ive went was maybe 10 lbs out of 27. was cruising at 3k rpm 30 mph and it just starts missfiring like a valve has stopped working. no noise or anything. took it to a reputable shop and they wanted me to put a motor in it. so all in all, i wasted 19k on an 08 (first year) evo x with 110k miles, bad paint, warped brake rotors, headlights that leak water inside, and now spent 10k on a new motor. i could have bought a perfect 2015 final edition with 60k miles for the 30k. i WASTED on my 08 with now 130k miles. at least now i wont feel bad for any door dings or rock chips. im just gonna drive it to enjoy it. it looks good from 10 feet away and thats all that matters i guess. worst part of all of this is i had limited insurance, so engine came form my pocket. and theres no one i can "return" the car to since it was a dude off facebook.

[@I_am_the_big_dipper]

I wouldnt sweat getting or unwinding the registration......Carvana seems to have problems getting titles & Regs to end users. I dont think this is a car I would buy from them, for sure.

[@lemonmon7656]

If this was a couple months ago I could have sold you my boosted Blue 2021 Type R! If you kept it, I did a couple things that ended up making a lot of difference. I added mudflaps (because the paint it too thin), PPF to the whole front of the car, Side markers that tied into the turn signals, interior cabin lights to LED lights, Swapped all the speakers in the car and added an amp for a better subwoofer that still fit in the hub, some noise-canceling mats in the doors and under the dash so make the cabin a little quieter since I was on the highway a lot, and of course some window guards just because. Had a lot of fun with the car though, I just changed out to a 2022 VW golf R. Hope you enjoy it once everything gets rolling.

[@WTF-sh4is]

Regarding the steering wheel: that wear is typical of driving gloves. Driver had black leather and a strong grip. Also shows it was driven HARD to have that grip wear.

[@your_alter_ego]

Alcantara steering wheel is known to be matted down with oil + grease from hands. You can clean/revive it by using alcantara cleaning foam + toothbrush.

[@CB-tx3ul]

While yes paying that much for what is basically just a special version of a tarted up Civic should get you a mint car, it being used means it's not going to be flawless. If you've filed your complaints and got the process rolling on claims and a reimbursement, great. Otherwise, it should be known that it likely wasn't babied and you should never expect a flawless used car. I absolutely love my Type R and yes, I bought it used with some minor defects but the fun it gives me far outweighs the little things. The fact they didn't mention this stuff is the only leg you really have to stand on. Otherwise just drive it as it was meant to be driven. If you bought it for clout or as a status symbol, then return it as it's not the car for you.

[@imnitguy]

I sure do miss Honda CRX's. Way classier car. Who needs all the body armor? This thing looks like a Pontiac Aztek.

[@Thorinox]

For a car like that, 4700 miles on it, those miles are 100% rolled back, making it a highly illegal car to have been sold.

[@salimrandall]

Sorry Bro send it back. That steering wheel is dead evidence of odometer tampering. No way that steering wheel should look that way at 4K miles. Google super kilometer filter, your car's mileage has been stopped.

[@Turnster89]

Type R’s sell for so much over MSRP regardless of year or mileage. Carvana has nothing to gain from rolling back the miles but so much to lose. Most likely was a press or training car for track use

[@prestigeworldwide9721]

I found a 2018 tundra through caravana June of 2020 they shipped it to their Kansas City hub from Texas. When I picked it up from the vending machine it was a quick easy process. Younger professionals from the looks of it who couldn’t be making much based on the pride in their work. The detail was so awful I figured first thing I’d do is give the car a proper cleaning (I spent some time working for a dealership contractor) after making the interior look new I noticed the frame was rusted all the way around the truck. With my knowledge of automobiles I know that Toyota has had issues in the past with frame rust so I ran a vin inquiry and it was never a part of any recall program. I took it to my personal mechanic and typically you’re waiting 20-25 minutes to talk to your guy about what passes and what does not pass their inspection but I barely sat down in the shops waiting area before they walked me out to the truck, told me that they would not buy it in its condition. I took their advice and took the truck back. It took them 6 days to get me my old Tacoma back because they had already sent it off to the “inspection location”. Is this the same station that may have let this rusted out Tundra pass through?? Caravana is a joke. Look at dealership reviews, read them for their best salesperson, pony up and go interact with people in the real world. You can avoid all of Carvanas BS this way. Believe it or not, I saved money buying my NEW 2021 Tundra from a dealer and I like going to get it serviced at the dealership and catching up with my sales lady and service advisor.

My next car will be white and that's for sure. Never settle in life period and always get what you want 100%

[@jr.rangeeel7624]

The car was probably raced for most of its miles that’s why the steering wheel is all beat up and had front tires replaced it also could have had the whole front end clear bra that’s why it doesn’t have rock chips. I would keep it it has very low miles is very rare and all the problems you pointed out can be fixed easily.

[@JonHop1]

I think the accident had a minor front end collision. Thats why the steering wheel and tires were replaced. Airbag likely deployed so they needed to buy a new one. Probably did it under the table and did not report it.

[@ryanb6658]

4500 miles and they changed front tires, that means they smoked them off!

Replaced front tires and a used steering wheel tells me the airbag might have been deployed…
