Raleigh’s Car Vending Machine
RALEIGH, N.C.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--

(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.

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.
