A simple Answer TO yOUr Question

When does Carvana actually pay you for your car?

Carvana typically issues payment after pickup and finalization of paperwork. The timeline can range from the same day to more than a week, depending on whether a lender payoff is involved. If you still owe money on the car, payment to you often comes after Carvana has coordinated with your lender, which adds time to the process. Ask Carvana for the specific payment timeline in writing before you confirm the pickup date, and ask what happens if the lender payoff takes longer than expected.

Thought using a service to buy a car was only for high end buyers. I was wrong. Sean and the entire team at Vantage made the process so easy that you’ll never see me in a dealership again

Had an Amazing experience with Vantage Auto Group & David Alessio! This was the first time using them. I didn’t have a clear Idea of a car we wanted but needed to stay inside a budget. I was referred by a friend to not waste my time with going to multiple dealership to play the negotiating games. David gave us some recommendations, did some pricing and then came back with an amazing find and deal right under budget. 24 hours later they delivered the car, I signed the paperwork & everything was seamless. They returned my old lease and plates to DMV. Door to door service with no hassle or dealership games. Will def use again in the future! Thank you again!

Debbie is a lifesaver. She took the time to understand my situation and helped me figure out how to extend my lease, something no dealership had explained to me. What stood out most was that she helped me purely out of genuine kindness, even after realizing I wouldn’t be able to give her any business right now. Because of her guidance, I was able to solve my problem by extending my current lease. If I hadn’t spoken to Debbie, I would have never known this was even an option. She truly restored my faith in people. I’ll absolutely be sending friends her way, and when I’m ready to get another car in a few months, she’s the only person I’ll go to.
