Customer says: "I wanted sunset red and the car that was delivered yesterday is  clearly ruby red… color is super important to me. What are you going to do about this?" (VDP lists the vehicle accurately as “red”)

"I know you spent time picking out this vehicle, and it can be disappointing when it doesn’t arrive how you expect it to look. I’m sorry that happened. I did pull up the vehicle’s details page and I do see we listed the vehicle as “red”, so it is represented and priced accurately. I am happy, however, to help search for another vehicle that is the perfect shade of red that you can exchange into."

DAILY DOUBLE. Answer in the form of a talk-off. 

Customer says: "I picked my car up last night and I noticed the low oil pressure light is already on my dashboard. Did you guys even check the oil in the inspection?"

"Thank you for bringing this to our attention. I am sorry to hear that the oil pressure light is on so early in your purchase. This is not the experience that we want you to have. During our 150-point inspection, we change the oil of every vehicle that passes through our inspection centers. But just to make sure nothing is wrong, you can take your vehicle to one of our Preferred Repair facilities which I can help you locate so they can check the oil light. The mechanic will then process a claim through SilverRock who will review it. I’ll be happy to  help you find a repair facility closest to you."

A customer calls reporting an issue with their vehicle, but they no longer have the 100DLW, CarvanaCare, or manufacturer's warranty. What would we tell the customer?

I’m submitting it now and it will be sent to you after your 7-Day Money Back  Guarantee is complete."

Carvana gives our customers 7 days to really get to know their vehicles, and it looks like this concern was submitted after that time frame. We only repair/ recondition cosmetic issues that fall outside industry-wide pre-owned standards as a way to pass savings onto our customers.
