Got a great price, basically everything they told me that would happen and how it happened was right on. I would have given them a five but when you call it seems they struggle to find the answer, they are very nice but I don't know how to explain it, in any case other than that and the car pick up being one week instead of 2-3 days like I thought they said everything else went great! Do exactly what they tell you to do as quickly as you can and it will be a smooth process.
Bought a car Nov 2. It is now January 25. No license plate. Both temp tags have expired. I cannot drive my $750 a month car without fear of being pulled over and arrested for no legal registration. Customer service has 45 minute hold times, then they transfer and hang up on you. I call daily and nobody can help. A nightmare. Stay away.
Vroom approved me for 5.04 percent loan with my 758 credit score, then called me asking for more info and then said it would be 16 percent for the loan. I wasted 8 days with them. I cancelled and got my 500.00 deposit back. I then got a better vehicle with less miles thru Carvana in 4 days for 4.59 percent loan.
I'm not sure why there's so many negative reviews, I'm really glad I didn't listen to you whiners. Great experience from beginning to end, the car is beautiful and completely 100% clean on the inside, every crevice. New tires too. Arrived at the exact time down to the minute they estimated, took 3 days (located in SC). The car runs perfectly, everything was incredibly simple and they called me to follow up that everything was good to go. Don't let this website scare you from this company, great job Vroom!
I was Leary because of their process. Accepted Offer on Friday night deposit check Tuesday morning. 8% more than Carvana. Everyone nice and helpful Emanuel and other I spoke with awesome. Thanks live in n. C. steve
I don't even know where to start with this company. Been on hold for over a hour and a half each time i call vroom for update on my title. I bought my car through vroom in Sept. Easy process and lots of communication till they got the money. No communication on when your car will be delivered, just wait for a door bell ring your car is here After that no one knows what the other person is doing. I've made at least 3 dozen phone calls in the past 4 months. All I want is my tag and all I get is misinformation. I've mailed in documents multiple times that they requested yet still nothing. My next option is take them to the media or get an attorney. Worst company. Do yourself a favor and don't buy from Vroom.
Tip for consumers:
if you are in a hurry for a car or title don't
Sales side was fine. Delivery was late and then transmission went out on car at day 12 of owning (43K miles btw). Absolute worst customer service experience. Continued to transfer me to other depts. W no solution. Not reimbursed for towing and would not pay for transmission. Never ever buy from them. Run!
Agreed to the deal they send contracts to wrong address we wait get everything signed and sent in on July 12 th I confirmed they received it I wire my down payment confirmed they received it have called repeatedly for a delivery date today the 15 th I get a whole package of documents to be signed I call they re worked paperwork in short they lost it and have to re do it! Now trying to cancel and they say I signed the contracts! Lawyer time! Buy nothing from these people
For 3 weeks Vroom claimed that they were reviewing the contract I made with them to sell my truck. 3 weeks Later I called, again, and was told that they can't do business in my state…! Vroom is a fly by night operation at best, and may be out of business before you get your vehicle either sold or bought. Deal with the people in your area, and have recourse when things go wrong. There's no telling where Vroom even Is. I talked with what sounded like an Indian man the first time they gave me the go-around, so you're taking chances with a whole lot of cash dealing with them, wherever they are..
Tip for consumers:
Don’t.
Absolute Scammers! Horrible customer service! They answer the phone to transfer to another line that never answer or return calls or emails. Purchased my car from them 2 weeks ago, inside was filthy, outside with others imperfections that they don't tell you or show you in pictures. Now I'm still dealing with vroom trying to contact them daily because I open a ticket for issues about the car and my vehicle has yet to be registered and I don't receive the title yet, our temporary tags is going to expired. Stay away! Don't waste your money! Go to anyone else..

Joseph Collier was excellent in providing me quality service and quality time. He even assisted me beyond his normal work hours to answer any concerns and questions to my complete satisfaction. I highly recommend Vroom should the rest of their services match Joe's expertise and care. He is professional yet friendly, so it was a pleasure to do business with him.
This will sound like a repeat of other postings but my faith in Vroom has disappeared. Great communication up front, then when contracts signed, nothing. I had to contact them for everything. I bought a car and traded in my Jeep. It's already been cleaned up, photos taken, and posted for sale (https://www.vroom.com/inventory/jeep-wrangler-unlimited-2021-1C4JJXP68MW*******). I don't know how they can sell it when the lien has not been payed off. I think this is why so many deals are taking a long time to complete. They are selling vehicles that still have a lien. Surely they are breaking the law.
Absolute headache! Horrible customer service! They never answer the phone or return calls or emails. Purchased our van from them 2 months ago, inside was filthy. Now 2 months later I'm still dealing with vroom trying to contact them daily because our vehicle has yet to be registered and our tags have expired. Stay away!
No lengthy review needed. They lost my title and I've (all together) spent 5 hours+ on the phone with them
- No follow up
- Slow at every level
- Friendly folks on the phone, but an inability to actually accomplish anything.
Dealerships are a drag, but, better than this.
Absolute disaster from start to finish. No one communicates between departments and if what you are asking is outside of their jurisdiction, they transfer you to someone who has no idea the context of the account. I have had issues with the contracting and delivery team from the start, as no one has given me the same answer twice. I was told that the documentation was received and that my car would be delivered this week... but miraculously the paperwork isn't there. Or is it? I'm not sure, because I have been given different answers every time I call. Please save yourself all of this trouble and just buy local.

Do your research on the reviews before you buy.

I've left messages, unsuccessfully called customer service, and written reviews. I can NOT get in touch with a live person to help me sort this out. I will say, Vroom did respond back on one of my complaints, however, they did not provide me with any resolution or contact information. Just a BS offer of "We want to fix this".
I tried customer service again, their response was to tell me how busy they are. I bet, I'm probably only 1 of many people that they have put in a financial bind by doing this.
Anybody have any suggestions on how to get somebody on the phone that could actually help?
Tip for consumers:
Try Carvana. NEVER USE VROOM

Tried to sell my car
The process of selling my car was so easy - the questionnaire made it simple, emails explaining every step of the way. Vroom came out and picked up my car - again, no issues. HOWEVER, they sent the payoff check to the wrong address, the FedEx was returned to Vroom. I had to make a car payment for a car that I shouldn't own! To make matters worse, its IMPOSSIBLE to get someone on the phone. The first time I called, I spent over 90 minutes on someone that had obviously just started. She "submitted a ticket and someone would call me back the next day". They didn't. I called back 2 days later, asked to speak to a supervisor, after being on hold for over 50 minutes (not an exaggeration!), I finally hung up and called again. I've now been on the phone for on hold for a supervisor again for 41 minutes and counting. STILL NOBODY! How is this possible?
Tip for consumers:
Don't

There is NO legit company that has you sign a contract that "could" be adjusted UP or DOWN after signing and you are responsible for the increase. Keep in mind, agents will tell you what you want to hear and then deny or promise to amend your contract and don't follow through at all. Simply put, there are many more ethical alternatives out there and if you never want to see your $249 deposit again, deal with Vroom!
Lastly, try to find Vroom's corporate offices and contact phone numbers... they are no links whatsoever.

I would leave zero if possible. Hours on the phone still no title, over 33 THOUSAND dollars and cant register the car. You cannot ask question on your acct or change addresses, people to accept delivery etc. They never call to update you with a day of delivery, they don't answer the phone when you call to confirm the day. They were over an hour out of the window for delivery after being 2 days late. Any call is 20 plus minute conversations that are then ignored anyway. Placed on hold, transferred and transferred. My temporary registration is expiring, I still do not have a bill of sale despite 3 more 30 minute conversations yesterday so I'm not able to register the vehicle. Title, which I still don't have, is 4 to 6 weeks, and you must be home to sign for it. So no idea when that will happen. Definitely easier to be tortured at a dealership

I rarely write reviews, but I must warn you~ car lover, or car shopper. The pricing at Vroom is good, I traded a beautiful car for a nice price and bought a 2021 with only 800 miles on it. But that's the easy part.
Everything else sucks. The right hand has no idea what the left is doing.
Delivery problems, that was the easy part, 8 weeks to get title and registration.
Absolutely untrained people that have no understanding of the process.
Go to a dealer, it's worth the extra money, never again.
Tip for consumers:
Be careful with vroom.
I don't understand how this company can compete with a dealership. How can a dealership turn around the entire transaction in half a day, and Vroom takes up to 3 weeks? The ONLY reason I am a Vroom customer is that the vehicle my wife wants is not available in the city we live in (or nearby cities). This process is unorganized, and no one at the company seems to give a rip that I am dissatisfied. The sales rep I started the process with was very sweet but was uneducated about their products. This is not her fault, but obviously a reflection of the company's hiring and training. I have had to re-send the same documents on multiple occasions. It's hard to believe in 2023, this is the best they can do.
Tip for consumers:
I hope you're not in a hurry and don't work a full-time job with kids. They are constantly asking for more documents and to resend documents you've already sent.

Purchased a 2022 Hyundai PALISADE
Car came with lot of scratches and rock chip in the front and it is a 2020 Toyota Sienna! They did not even wash the car before delivering.
Middle seat of the middle row is missing. It was not listed in the vehicle description. It says 8 passenger van.
It has been 5 business days since they received the trade in. So far no info on the payment. Horrible customer support. They said they would send me a touch up paint!?!? That is all they can do. If I return $599 delivery wont be reimbursed.
Horrible experience. At the beginning it all seemed great up until the moment they were supposed to send the paperwork, title and registration. It's been 13 weeks since the car was delivered and we still don't have the bill of sale, a signed contract, the title, the registration, the plates. The temporary tag expired and we can't use the vehicle anymore because we're not allowed to drive it. Last time we did we got a ticket. Every time I call, they tell me the same lie, and nothing changes. We don't know what to do anymore! We're filing complaints every where, but so far nothing has improved or changed! STAY AWAY! Wished I had seen these bad reviews when I purchased.
I had no delivery problems other that they arrived a day before my scheduled delivery. Lucky I was home. Upon delivery I noticed a tire was extremely low. Turned out it had a cracked rim replacement cost $788. Vroom actually paid for it. Now keep in mind this was within the 1st 7 days. It's July in the desert and finally we get a sprinkle and what do you know my wipers don't work. Check fuses look good. I'm now concerned. But it's after 7 days. Post sale support after 7 days is nonexistent.
Delivery represented as 14 days or less.
Experience - 30 days.
Stated delivery refund on delivery.
2.5 weeks later, nothing.
Need paperwork for DMV and not forthcoming.
Website navigation is a joke.
Repeated phone inquiry is a joke.
I'm fine with the vehicle, but the process stinks.
They say "you will be kept up to date with every step in the process" That is not true and will spend too much time on the phone going no where.

Purchased a Porsche on 5/3/2021 from Vroom. Five months later, after 5 temporary tags, they still didn't send permanent tags. The last temporary tags expired on 10/2/2021. They won't return calls, they won't provide new temporary tags saying they can't issue any more temporary tags. Paid for the car and submitted all registration paperwork 5 months back, but car is useless parked in the garage without tags. I don't understand why their dealership is not revoked. You would get a phone call multiple times every day until you buy the car and sign papers. Now, no return of calls, no permanent tags, no resolution, dead silence. Beware before you buy.
I was selling my wife's car as she can no longer drive because of dementia and I had just made a three year lease deal on a car for me before we found out about the dementia. If not for the lease deal already in place, I would not have sold my wife's car. My local dealers and Kelley Blue Book all gave me a low ball price, even after haggling. Vroom offered me $2500 more without haggling. Their staff was very helpful, knowledgeable and professional. The sale wen off without a hitch and I was sent a check by FedEx within 24 hours of my car being picked up.
I am extremely satisfied with my experience selling my car. I cannot speak about buying a car, as I only sold one to Vroom. Any reviews should be categorized by buying, selling, trading, etc. so people who are looking for info concerning their situation could look up the reviews covering their particular situation. Only fair!
Received car in a timely manner. Was assured it went through a detailed inspection. Received with a headlight with moisture inside. Started car up and a loud rattling was heard, exhaust shield appeared to be not attached. Rust throughout undercarriage. Still waiting for refund.
