When does Carvana actually pay you for your car?

Carvana typically issues payment after pickup and finalization of paperwork, which can take anywhere 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 before you confirm the pickup date.
