A simple Answer TO yOUr Question

What does the Carvana inspector look for at pickup?

The inspector checks the vehicle's exterior condition (dents, scratches, paint damage), interior condition (stains, tears, odor), tire tread depth, warning lights on the dashboard, and whether the car starts and drives. They also verify the VIN and mileage against your submission. The inspection typically takes 15 to 30 minutes. Any condition issue not reflected in your original online submission is a potential trigger for an offer adjustment.

Vantage Auto made the entire car-buying process incredibly easy and stress-free. If you're looking to get out of your current vehicle and into a new one while saving money, this is the company to use. I sent them the exact build I wanted, and they were able to find an exact match for my Mercedes-Benz GLS 450 at a price that was significantly lower than what the dealership offered. They even came to my home, picked up my Range Rover, and delivered my new GLS 450 right to my driveway. It couldn't have been more convenient. The entire paperwork process was handled electronically through email, making everything quick and hassle-free. They also provided all the documentation confirming the pickup of my old vehicle, which gave me complete peace of mind. Their customer service was outstanding from start to finish. They were responsive, professional, and kept me informed throughout the entire process. I also highly recommend purchasing their tire and rim protection package. It offers excellent coverage and saved me thousands compared to the protection plans offered by the dealership. If you're thinking about getting a new vehicle, don't hesitate—contact Vantage Auto. They deliver exceptional service, great pricing, and a seamless experience.

Great service! Sean worked with me over a couple of weeks to get a car that fit my budget and that I love. They delivered the car right to my house with a full tank of gas, signed some paper work and I was done. 100% would recommend.

Had a wonderful experience working with Vantage and Dave A. in particular. Dave came as a referral from a neighbor and he was very straightforward and helpful throughout the entire process. Once I decided to move forward with a lease, Dave was super efficient and we got everything done within a few days!
