Carvana Partnering With Dealerships - Partner Inventory?

[Ryan Everson]

Hi Greg,

Thanks for reaching out. We don't have any information to share at the moment. This page is a marketing page for dealers we work with today, it isn't linked from our main site and it is sent on an invitation basis. We do, however, encourage all dealers to buy cars through our auction, CarvanaACCESS.

Thanks,
Veronica

Invite-only? That doesn’t seem accurate, I’ve been getting served a variety of LinkedIn ads linking to that page the past couple of days. Unless they consider a LinkedIn ad an invite

That sounds like more than an invite. I'm just wondering if this is a step up in their promotion of Marketplace. Seems like it is, but Carvana's always been cagey about discussing it.

I'm thinking that Carvana's Dealer Partner Program is dealer positive.

Hi Joe, why do you think it's positive?

Rather than starting a new post, I thought I'd add it here since we're talking about Carvana. I just noticed our update from Toyota letting us know that they were no longer using ADESA due to the Carvana acquisition.

Wow! That could be a lot of lost business for them.

So they lay off 12% of their workforce and now they want to partner with dealerships? Interesting

Is this an attempt for carvana to reduce their own inventory carrying costs? Or an attempt to gain more market share and make dealers irrelevant?
