Carvana Literally Dropped Off A Customers Hyundai Genesis
Carvana Literally Dropped Off A Customers Hyundai Genesis-September 2024
2024-02-19 EST 22:09:26

Carvana touts its delivery service as an integral part of how convenient online car buying can be. I mean, who wouldn’t want their vehicle literally dropped off at their door? But I don’t think customers want their vehicles dropped in the literal sense of the word. But as reports, that’s exactly what happened with one Carvana customer.

The Carvana customer in question, one on TikTok, posted videos of the incident. In the first clip, chrisdankers7 is taking delivery of his Hyundai Genesis Coupe. Comments from the videos show that the car was purchased for $30,000. Some might think that’s a high amount for a car whose last production year was 2016 — until you learn that this example has just 10,000 miles on it.That doesn’t mean there aren’t any problems though. (I’ll get to that in a bit.)

Everything starts off normal, with the tow driver unloading the car. As the flatbed tilts back, however, you see the car start to roll while the tow operator makes sad attempts to stop the car from rolling off the flatbed, which hasn’t completely reached the ground. In the cringiest moment on the Internet this week, the bottom of the car slams on the edge of the flatbed before slamming into the ground.

Like you, I have many questions. Mainly, why was this person in charge of operating a tow truck? It’s obvious they forgot to engage the parking brake. If you can’t remember to do a simple thing like that, you should find another profession. Rather than get rid of the car though, chrisdankers kept it. In a second posted on his page, he details the damage done to the vehicle. Interestingly, some of the issues the car has were issues that were supposed to be fixed before Carvana shipped the car. From Motor1:

…another clip (embedded below) takes us under the hood while a narrator talks about alleged issues ranging from coolant leaks to bad power steering fluid and replacement body panels that were supposed to be swapped prior to shipping. Through video comments, we learn the car reportedly had just 10,000 miles on it when he purchased it through Carvana. From the sounds of it, the poor car hasn’t had it very easy despite the low mileage.

As , if you’re buying a car from Carvana — or anywhere else for that matter — do your due diligence and either visually inspect the car yourself or have a mechanic come with you to help you inspect it. While it sucks that the car was damaged while being unloaded, issues with a car with such low miles that were only found after he got the car home are a whole other issue. And with the resulting damage from the tow truck, this could turn into a mess that Carvana might drag their feet on making right.

I’ve been But this morning I had a relapse, and in an attempt to justify making another poor decision, I wondered to myself “If it’s only $500, does that really count as a full car purchase?” There’s some OK cheap stuff on Detroit’s Craigslist, but it’s rusty. So I want...

Safari All The Cars
Safari All The Cars
Big fender flares, knobby all-terrain tires, maybe a lift kit, and perhaps a bit of fender or bumper trimming—these things look good on damn near any car. So maybe it’s time for us to just -ize all the cars. This is, of course, a bullshit take, because as I’ve mentioned...

Get a New Perspective on Used Car Prices by Considering Inflation
As ’80s and ’90s cars become more commonly accepted as “classics” and the prices of desirable vehicles appear to rise, a lot of us might be thinking about cars we had back the day and if we should have held on to them. Well, plug some of your old car...

At $9,999, Could This Sorta Rough 1986 Porsche 944 Turbo Turn Out to be a Smooth Deal?
The seller of today’s 951 describes it as being “rough around the edges.” It’ll be up to you to determine if its price makes roughing it worthwhile. I don’t why it is, but seems in popular cultures the little sister is always the provocateur. Younger, usually prettier and more vivacious,...
