      Ditto. You're pretty much spot on with the basic details I've noticed in news reports since Carvana came on the scene back in about 2019. I wouldn't go near that place as a car buyer or an investor.

      I agree they’re a good company. They make a simple hassle free they don’t make you feel bad if you don’t have a $800 credit score in the warranty that they offer are not horrible. Silver Rock is probably the better warranty company out of all the ones that are out there very reliable very dependable no BS no questions. Asked if you have the coverage available to you.

    Fantastic video, thank you! It seems the markets are filled with overinflated valuations. Between Carvana, Tesla and AI companies like NVIDIA valuations are through the roof. This does remind me of the conditions just before the internet bust around 2000. My parents had a penny stock named Rare Medium that was close to bankrupt but somehow turned things around by declaring that they were an "internet" play and their stock went up thousands of percent. And the company made no money. This seems a lot like back then.

    Nice analysis - content is succinct and informative. I just worry about Aubrey's heating in her studio... looks like she needs to wear a winter knit hat indoors since it's so cold in there. Poor Aubrey... get that HVAC tech in to help so you don't need to wear that silly cap anymore to create your content. Found it distracting and hard to take things seriously regardless of how well it was researched and delivered. I do find Aubrey's content as some of the best produced for this subject matter.

    I bought a 2018 Honda Fit-EXL in January 2023 with 44k miles. I did not have the vehicle checked out by a mechanic (which I should have, apparently) because it needed $4000 worth of fuel injector work. It appeared to run properly when I purchased it. I paid $15,000 for it (from a Kia dealer in Anderson, SC - bunch of thieves.) THREE MONTHS LATER I sold it to Carvana for $15,000. I wish I had made ZERO repairs before I sold it but I spent $2000 fixing the rattling noise that it made when starting (figured they might not take it had I not at least done that.) They didn't even look the car over at all. It was raining and the guy was like, "cool. Here is your check." I pitty the undeserving soul that bought that piece of chit. Replaced it with a 2010 Lexus RX-350 and never looked back. I will never own another late model Honda. They are garbage. Carvana does not inspect anything when you sell it. At all. Hard stop.

    Sounds like a mixed experience for consumers. The bright side is as long as one can make payments one might’ve gotten a good price or if one can’t the loan might get extended. The down side is one have had to wait for the car ordered and it might have had (might have?) a few title issues.
    For investors of those buying these securities, once it goes South, the bank(s) stop(s) buying, more defaults and a cash crunch whoever is holding the loans has to go repo route - right? They might find by extending the loans the cars are not merely “underwater” but at the “bottom sunk deep into the muck” because the cars are older and have depreciated further. Or are abandoned.
    IMO Smells a bit like ERON. Don’t pay any attention to the buyer behind the curtain to see who bought these debts. Who does Carv’a’s auditing? What was that firm that did Enron’s?

      No, you can’t manipulate a company into an IPO, shuffle assets around, inflate subprime loans to offload onto a buyer, and simultaneously have shorts opened on the stock to offset the losses. You c-c-can't just do that! Think of the subprime borrowers! Think about the government relying on the tax revenue this generates! Most importantly, think of the people who will suffer, only to become the next talking point for a politician to grift their way into office. But hey, at least we can *shuffles deck* take a THC drag in public while mocking sky daddy, right? Totally worth it.

Paid below market rate, one owner car, Porsche dealer serviced, low miles. Carvana shipped car from Tucson Az to South Mexifornia land of the Democrat for free. Title arrived to my PO Box in 10 days . Paid via a wire transfer. Wanted to use my Amex for points but manager said nope. Delivery experience was comical vending machine thing.
