PR & News Make It or Break It for Carvana??

Carvana is a dozen raging dumpster fires. No one outside of auto will acquire them.
  • Selling profitably will require a total biz reset
  • No Inventory buying discipline.
  • Title mayhem ruining reputation.
  • Paid $2billion for Adesa (adding to internal mayhem).
  • and on and on...
IMO, Carvana's Dealer Partner Program was its last hope to survive. To me, closing it was a giant setback for the car dealer industry.

I wonder if the mega dealers have an interest... that'd be interesting: Carmax or AutoNation; Penske or Sonic. Blend what's valuable about the digital platform with their existing abilities to build bridges with customers (enhance the dealership vs. trying to replace it). Although, I imagine it'd have to get a whole lot cheaper.

The major rental agencies might have an interest... Hertzvana. Kinda catchy...

Lets say you bought $10,000 of Carvana on it's 1st day trading (IPO day).
