>Yes, as long as it's not expired...

Thanks so much. Just one more question just to confirm, you mean that an AZ temp registration will work in PA? I got the car from Carvana and they are headquartered in AZ, so I think it's a AZ registration. I am not sure how to tell for sure. Also, how do you know this? Do you work in a shop?

>How can they require you to get. State inspection when. It all states require inspections? Why didnt you have the seller have the vehicle inspected before you bought it?

Thanks! I do have it on my insurance. It's Carvana and I'm not sure why they can't issue plates immediately. They had legal issues with the state and issuing titles I guess. It's their process, I'm not really sure why they don't do it.

>Have you tried calling them just to ask what they’ll do in that situation? It might help put your mind at ease before you buy.

Yea I think I did, but sometimes CS just makes stuff up at some companies lol. So yea, I just wanted to hear from real people. It seems like your situation was pretty good. I was thinking about asking them for a website that I can check the status. It just will really mess me up if I have to park the car for some reason, so hope that doesn't happen. I see some people on the news talk about having to park their car, so that's why I was concerned. Hopefully that's a rare issue and there's ways to work around it. Really glad you had a good experience. Hope mine iss too. Thanks for sharing!

>We retuned it through the warranty - we had owned the car for a few months at that point.

Gees, that sounds like Blackrock is a good warranty company! Glad everything went well. Is there specific wording in the contract for "returning" a vehicle? Did you have the full blown warranty that covers everything or the basic one? I wonder if it's in the contract or if it was just and exception they made. Did you have to complain a lot to get them to take it back?

Yea I agree their process is pretty great! I’m a little worried about the title issues and what to do if something happens! I’m kind of wondering if the consumer is really protected as you see people on the news complaining they had to park their car! As long as I’m confident of that it seems like no reason, but I’ve yet to come up with a foolproof plan if they don’t send the title for some crazy reason. Not so sure they had those issues back when you bought it though. Thanks for replying

Yea that’s the location. They were suspended from issuing plates but I’m not sure what that means because they continued to sell cars and I haven’t seen any more news about them since November in PA, so hoping the issues are possibly resolved. Yea them going under I don’t have a clue what to expect from that.

>Carvana (and places like Carmax) have really high prices for used cars. You can’t negotiate. You do get the 7 day return privilege, I guess. But that wouldn’t make up for the higher price imo.

The deal on my car is really good as I searched a 200 mile radius and their price is definitely the best. From what I remember Carmax always tries to make $2k a car, but Carvana only makes $1-1.5k currently according to some youtube videos I watched.

I'm more so worried about all of their titling issues honestly.

>Reputable dealers don’t sell flood cars. You want to make sure tires and brakes measure 50% or better. 2 keys is a plus and the less accidents the better.

Do you think they would cover the breaks in the first 7 days or the tires? That's a good point about flooded cars. I saw that. I wonder if it's just some mechanics that totally miss that it's a flood car. Is it super easy to tell if it's a flood car of some kind when they do an inspection?

>You probably have to go to a 3rd party titling service like AAA. If you’re stuck on carvana just make sure they acquired the vehicle in the last 60 days and it’s not been sitting for a year passed around to different carvana locations.

Thanks for the help! I went out like 300 miles on my search and the trade value is 1-2k more than dealers I've called offered too. I've been researching everything and definitely read some horror stories, others have said it's a great experience with them. That why I'm looking for someone GOOD to do the inspection as my mechanic I've been having some issues with lately. I don't want to get some flooded vehicle or something. They give you a 7 day return policy, so as long as I find dont find anything in the inspection or driving it as much as possible in the first week. I might also go with something lower miles just bc it's scary.
