A buyer's scheduled vehicle delivery was pushed back multiple times over more than a week, while the dealer re-ran a credit check and altered payment terms from the originally signed contract.

A Carvana buyer who initially planned a trade-in found a better cash offer for their car and asked to switch to a cash payment before pickup, but was told this required canceling the order, rewriting the contract, and rescheduling — with the next available appointment nine days later.
