North Carolina Get its First Car Vending Machine: For Real!
Less than two years after launching free delivery in Raleigh, Carvana, a leading eCommerce platform for buying used cars, has unveiled a five-story, all-glass vending machine for cars. For real.
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 wholly unique 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.
“We’re making car buying fun again by giving customers an easy, quick alternative to the traditional dealership,” said Ernie Garcia, founder and CEO of Carvana. “We look forward to welcoming customers at North Carolina’s very first Car Vending Machin.”
By visiting the Carvana website, customers can search through an inventory of 7,000 vehicles that have passed a rigorous 150-point inspection and have never been in a reported accident nor have frame damage. Customers can then purchase, finance and trade in an old car completely online in as little as 10 minutes.
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, he or she can return the car.
