Anyone listing their inventory on Carvana?

Interesting, this was posted just 2 days ago:


I had to double check the date on this post, as I thought for sure it was 2008ish.

Hertz will be selling cars on Carvana. This could be the tipping point that moves Carvana's marketplace project from experiment to a reportable part of their business.

I missed this news, but have been waiting for this announcement.

Greg Spencer initiates discussion about Carvana's ongoing experiment with third-party dealer inventory, where cars are listed as "partner inventory" but dealers aren't disclosed and dealer branding is removed from photos. The thread compares Carvana's approach to similar marketplace models being adopted by competitors like RocketAuto (which discloses dealer partners), Fair (pivoting from subscriptions to marketplace), and Vroom, with key distinction being transparency around third-party dealer identification and whether final purchase happens on the platform or at the dealership.
