Carvana requires buyer to pay diagnostic fee to prove undisclosed prior damage

Online Car Platform Loses Shipping Damage Records Before Warranty Claim Is Filed
A buyer picking up a vehicle purchased from Carvana was informed of shipping damage, but the warranty department had no record of the damage report or claim.
