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.Invite-only?

So they lay off 12% of their workforce and now they want to partner with dealerships? Interesting
Dealership professionals discuss Carvana's new "Partner Inventory" program, where dealers can list vehicles on Carvana's platform—but the consensus is that it's a poor deal for traditional dealers. The proposed model allegedly requires dealers to wholesale vehicles to Carvana at retail asking price if a Carvana customer expresses interest, eliminating opportunities for trade-ins, financing, F&I products, and building customer relationships. Participants view this as part of Carvana's larger strategy to build inventory scale to compete with CarMax and Amazon-style consolidators, ultimately positioning independent dealers at a disadvantage.
