Online Auto Retailer Selects Nashville for First in a Series of Market Expansions
NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Following its successful launch in Atlanta, Carvana (www.carvana.com), the first complete national online auto retailer, announces its expansion into Nashville to offer consumers free next day delivery. The new distribution center aligns with Carvana’s overall growth strategy that includes launching a physical presence in multiple new markets across the country by year’s end to further accommodate the growing demand for an alternative to brick-and-mortar car sales.
“We have experienced strong demand for online car sales stemming from the Nashville area,” said Ernie Garcia, president of Carvana. “Consumer demand coupled with a large metropolitan area and a technology-friendly culture made Nashville a natural fit for our first distribution point outside Atlanta, following our launch of nationwide availability.”
Carvana’s secure, intuitive online shopping platform gives car buyers an alternative to their local dealer by allowing individuals to browse an inventory of Carvana Certified pre-owned vehicles, dynamically set customized financial terms and coordinate delivery method and timing best suited to their needs. In addition to home delivery, all Carvana customers can elect to pick up their vehicle at the company’s car vending machine in Atlanta. All Carvana cars come fully covered with a 100-day or 4,189 mile bumper-to-bumper warranty and are backed by a 7-day “test own” return policy.
Traditional car dealerships have high overhead costs that are passed onto the consumer during the car buying process. Carvana eliminates these costs by replacing the dealership with technology, subsequently offering consumers an average savings of $1,500 per vehicle versus the market average.
