Carvana Repeatedly Reschedules Car Pickups Until Offers Expire, Then Abandons Customers
Carvana schedules vehicle pickup appointments and then reschedules them multiple times due to availability issues, causing the price offer to expire before pickup occurs. Customers who followed Carvana's own requirements — canceling insurance, removing plates — are then told the area is not served. There is no compensation or expedited path to resolve the failed transaction.
