    Imagine paying over 20K for a 2010 Prius.

    They're great prices if you want to sell your used car and buy a new one

    I would go there and see their overpriced low mile gen3s and then laugh at the salesman as I went to a dealer to get a new one. On top of the age related failures sure to be in the new owner's future, many of these could also be odo rollbacks.

    Funny, they don't tell you about the 80+% return rate, and all the problems the cars have....
    Wonder why they don't mention that?????

    They don't care about modifications or repair history - just aesthetic condition and mileage.

    Actually Carvana's stock price lost 80%, not their return rate.

    Go online and they will give you a quote in less than 5 min. I sold a Volt to them that way, it was a very generous offer...explains why their prices are so high.

    I would never sell it directly to carvana.
    Private sale only and first dibs would be on PriusChat.
