Carvana is an online automotive retailer founded in 2012 and listed on the New York Stock Exchange. Through its website, customers can browse a nationwide inventory of thousands of vehicles and buy, finance, trade in or sell a car entirely online, with paperwork signed digitally and the vehicle delivered to their driveway or collected at one of the company's Car Vending Machines. The company operates across the United States.
Its technical work spans an e-commerce platform for online vehicle purchasing, financing technology, and the logistics required to move cars to customers nationwide. Scale is significant: Carvana sold its one millionth car, describes itself as the fastest-growing automotive retailer in history, and reached national expansion, a public listing, one million cars sold and Fortune 500 status within eight years. The company states it is the most profitable public automotive retailer.
Carvana describes its culture as fun, fast and fair. Stated values include embracing change, celebrating creative problem solving, striving to be better, and working in a collaborative team environment that encourages growth and making an impact. The company positions its approach to automotive retail as fundamentally different from the traditional model.
