A simple Answer TO yOUr Question
When does Carvana actually pay you for your car?
Carvana typically issues payment after pickup and paperwork finalization, which 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. Ask for the specific payment timeline in writing before you confirm the pickup date, and confirm what happens if the lender payoff takes longer than expected.
