Consumers Can Now Buy a Car Completely Online
and Pick It Up From Raleigh’s Car Vending Machine
Less than two years after launching free delivery in Raleigh,
Carvana (NYSE: CVNA), a leading eCommerce platform for buying used
cars, today unveiled the latest addition to the city’s skyline – a
five-story, all-glass vending machine for cars. The Raleigh Car
Vending Machine is the sixth of its kind, joining those in Houston,
Austin, San Antonio, Dallas and Nashville.
This Smart News Release features multimedia.

Holding 18 cars, the Raleigh Car Vending Machine serves as a fun
and memorable pickup experience for customers who purchase their
cars online through Carvana. Much like a traditional vending
machine, the Raleigh Car Vending Machine is coin-operated and fully
automated; however, instead of receiving a candy bar in the
delivery bay, customers will drive away with their car, without the
hassle and haggling of a traditional dealership.
“If you’ve driven through Raleigh lately, you’ve likely seen the
vending machine taking shape and wondered what it was. The wait is
over, and we look forward to welcoming customers at North
Carolina’s very first Car Vending Machine,” said Ernie Garcia,
founder and CEO of Carvana. “We’re making car buying fun again by
giving customers an easy, quick alternative to the traditional
dealership.”
By visiting Carvana.com, customers can search through
Carvana’s inventory of 7,000 vehicles, purchase, finance and trade
in an old car completely online in as little as 10 minutes. All
vehicles in Carvana’s inventory have passed a rigorous 150-point
inspection and have never been in a reported accident nor have
frame damage. All features, imperfections and updated information
about open safety recalls are listed on the car's vehicle
description page.
Once the online purchase is complete, area customers can choose
to have their car delivered as soon as the next day, or pick it up
from the Raleigh Car Vending Machine. If customers chose to pick it
up, they will receive an oversized Carvana coin on-site to drop
into the coin slot which activates the vending process. Once the
car is vended into a delivery bay from the glass tower, the
customer takes receipt with a seven-day money-back guarantee. If
the customer isn’t satisfied with the purchase, they can return the
car.
The Raleigh Car Vending Machine is located off I-440 at 1631
Navaho Drive, Raleigh, NC 27609. Hours of operation are Monday
through Saturday, from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. ET. Vehicle pickup at any
of Carvana’s Car Vending Machines is free for all Carvana
customers. For customers who live outside of the Raleigh
metropolitan delivery area who still want to pick up their car at
the Vending Machine, Carvana will subsidize $200 in airfare and
arrange white glove transportation from the Raleigh-Durham
International Airport.
