  • Carvana

10/26/22
Verified purchase

Carvana what can I say, there are many negative reviews and obviously they have made the news for not so good reasons like registration issues. I bought early this month a 2020 Mustang GT convert, and there are things I like about the process and there are things that really need to improve. The positives are as follows, coming out of a Chapter 7 I choose not to reaffirm my auto, I wanted a car that I really liked and with my income and now with bad debt gone I wanted to see who would give me a chance. Carvana financing terms while not great on the interest side, overall were the most affordable. Plus the Mustang being a partner car (Hertz rental sales), the price was absolutely right and will make refinancing easy. Mechanically the car is in great shape, loved the vending machine delivery and honestly not dealing with F&I and sleezy dealers who love to take advantage of sub prime buyers. Also you cannot beat the 7 day return policy, I had the car inspected and it passed with flying colors mechanically at least. Now for the could be improved.
Carvana and Hertz did not detail or even wax the Mustang in fact for a two year old vehicle regardless of it being a rental, it was in the worse shape I have seen a newer car. The car has never known what wax is, swirl marks, chips, sanding and scratches. I cannot believe Hertz sales had this on their lot the way it was (partner vehicles from Hertz are cars listed for sale on their lots). I called Carvana and they agreed to cover some but not all of it. The worse has been fixed, they also will be sending me $100 to have it detailed, also I bought the car 10/1, and I now just got the plates so this went smoothly. But they need to hammer out their reconditioning process, also their financing requirements when I was initially looking to buy kept changing. One minute they need paystubs, next bank verification, next tax returns, and then finally six months of bank statements. I could understand since I just came out of a Chap 7 but many times these requirements came out of nowhere in an email early in the morning. But luckily their underwriting team has pros like Tina who went out of her way to get me in the vehicle. Better communication and quality control is what is lacking once Carvana can work this out they will be golden.
In conclusion I want Carvana to succeed they have a great concept and I want Franchise dealers to see real competition from Tesla and Carvana. Many wish them to go under, I understand many of their processes are rough. But to buy an auto online and select the warranty I want it to have with zero pressure, a 7 day trial period no dealer that is Franchise matches that. A smart consumer will take advantage and pay for a PPI you must.

Tip for consumers:
Maintaining constant communication whether that be with customer service and underwriting. Remember when you buy a used car part of the responsibility of doing an inspection falls on the customer do not trust 150 point inspections take advantage of the 7 day window to have the vehicle looked at. It is a significant investment and doing your due diligence would be very wise. Any used car purchase requires due diligence on the part of the consumer.

  • Vroom

10/13/22

I was in the Market for a used Ford Mustang GT and I was caught between CarMax, Vroom, and Carvana. I really like the layout of the Vroom website but between the horrible reviews and actual legal issues Vroom is currently having and dealing with their customer service I went with Carvana. Their pricing is high but where they did have Carvana beat is their financing terms especially for me coming out of a Chapter 7 United Auto Credit offered the better terms. The problem is the price of their car is higher than it should be which will be an issue when it comes to refinancing. Also to actually have to put down $250 non refundable deposit to hold the vehicle for 24 hours is not consumer friendly. With Carvana for all the issues they may have you get a hold through the whole process you are buying the vehicle and no deposit was ever required. Plus Vroom customer service is outsourced which I have a problem with compared to the others. Honestly I don't see Vroom staying in business, they did buy United Auto Credit so they may just get into financing but I doubt these guys will last.

Tip for consumers:
Be very cautious if you put down the deposit for $250 it is non refundable. Also they are having the most issues even compared to Carvana with regards to titling and registration. Also out of the big online shops I feel these will be the first to go belly up.

  • LatinAmericanCupid

11/1/21

This review goes to both LatinAmericanCupid and ColombianCupid, owned by the same company and generally the same experience. I am revising this review since I think my prior review was way to long. In short summary yes there are real profiles. With those you still must be cautious as some are straight up gold diggers, and at some point they will ask for money. If you are to remember anything form all the reviews remember this DO NOT SEND MONEY. Cupid Media with their canned responses really do not take true steps to moderate, some paying members accounts have been suspended for reporting many so there is some kind of possible collusion. Here are the red flags to look out for if you decide to pay and join.
-Do not turn auto pay on
-Any of the profiles that wants your whatsapp or gives you their number immediately or quickly is a scam. Most real decent women don't just hand out their personal number immediately to a random dude that rule applies here and there.
-If you notice their responses are short almost canned to your questions or off in some way this is a likely a bot profile. Block it
-A general reluctance to answer questions almost defensiveness (as long as your questions are actually well intended). These are likely money scammers they are lazy they want quick and easy money move on.
-Sob story about Relatives needing an operation, they have no money to eat (but they have money to be using the internet LOL) they are gold diggers and this site is infested with them.
-Any profiles out of Dominican Republic, Europe, Venezuela or Cuba (Why would you even visit the last two). Either way they are scams heck even the embassy if you got that far scrutinizes any K1/CR1 visa heavily in the Dominican Republic due to such high fraud.
In closing Don't Send Money, because people send these scammers money they continue to operate. There are real women but you will find yourself getting frustrated doing to scam filtering yourself. Want advice don't sign up, just fly down there meet them using Tinder, Badoo, even a few weeks before you go (if you pay for premium you change your location to be located in Colombia. If you want a wife research reputable MatchMaker agency (not tours), honestly yes its a small investment but you will get the best and safest results and Money is Time.

Tip for consumers:
Just don't if you end up doing it , know the red flags keep communication restricted to website for at least 1 week do real time video calls with the girl for weeks and do not send them money. Remember even video calls can be faked, make sure the conversation is real time. Learn about Whatsapp you will need it at some point.

Ok so where do I begin... let's start with the good, i have had a gold membership for 3 months and before that was on their Latincupid for a couple so I think I can offer a good review. Let's jump into positive points.
Yes you can meet authentic women here that are attractive there are real profiles. Met someone in 2020 visited them twice had a good relationship but it did not workout it happens she was a nice girl loved her family since I am latin language not an issue. And now talking to a girl in cali going to meet her halfway in Cancun in October for some heavy passionate nights no asking for money other than a the cost of her room and plane ticket.
The negative... there are tons and tons of scammers or girls selling nudes. The messages that go to immediately asking your WhatsApp is a big red flag. Also if they start talking about how they have no job or money and they are all stressed out que chimba hombre their answers to your questions are short and vague well guess what that's because they are expecting you to be captain save a ho. The one big issue I even cited this on my profile is if I am asking an open ended questions and their answer is one letter then obviously they are not there for any kind of relationship. And this is what's gets tiring dealing with the tons of low quality air heads that absolutely are there wasting my time. Luckily I can read between the lines and found a few real ones but next time I will just fly down there and heck pick them up on the flight from Panama to MedellĂ­n like I did last time I went. Hope this review is of some use.

Tip for consumers:
Be aware that you will have to do the scammer and or low quality filtering for yourself
