“Great Price on Car Sold to Vroom”

michael S.
1/20/22

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.

“No customer service-no license plate”

JAREN S.
1/25/22

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.

Worst, unprofessional, company I have ever experience in my life. They keep asking for papers that they ask me for weeks ago and I followed up to make sure they had them and they said yes. This week they are asking for same things all over again. They can't even tell me when I will be getting my car and I already paid them.Im just trying to help anybody from falling into this scam. They also have a f rating in the BBB.

Don't use the Vroom!

Chase bank has partnered with Vroom. This is why I chose them to purchase my car. It seemed like everything was moving smoothly until I mailed my down payment. They lost a $5000. 00 cashiers check. I had to have the check canceled & reissued. This ordeal took a week and a half, because no one knew how to help. My husband is trying to buy a car for my son presently. He fulfilled all the requirements for Vroom to hold the car he selected, but they sold it anyway. This service is not good!

Paid $249 to hold an SUV, and after declining the Vroom Protection plans with my main salesperson, 10 minutes later I received another call of another salesperson, pushing and pushing. The push for this protection plan was so hard that at one moment, after saying "NO" multiple time, it felt like harassment.

Decided to cancel the buying of the SUV because of this event. Lost the $249 dollars! Many phone calls, email for my refund but no responses. Please be careful, honestly I can say Vroom is not a safe company to do business with.

Vroom offered me $1300. 00 for my Jeep commander 5.7 hemi in which I said I installed a new engine as well as a new transmission it is currently on Facebook marketplace for 9500 offering me $1300 was a joke on top of which they said they would pick up my car and pay me three days later by check are they kidding me don't use this company. I would give the company zero stars but that's not an option.

Vroom offered me $******* for my vehicle, which is less than half the trade in value. I couldn't believe it. A local dealership has offered me $*******. The process was rushed and the whole thing was crooked. Avoid at all costs

I purchased a car in September 2021. The car said it came with remote start on the main page when searching for a car. I paid for the car and received it but my fob did not have the option for remote. I let the company know and I sent them the screen shot of the car. Little did I know in the more in depth features remote start was not listed. I told them that was very misleading. They basically told me because the screen shot I sent them didn't show the vin # they could not take responsibility for the missing feature. So they called me a liar. So now I am going to leave this review anywhere I can, tell anyone I know not to go through vroom and never do business there again… for $260 that I was quoted for a new fob.

The simplest thing needed to be done, which is sending over a document to me. They requested a signature from co-buyer, yet haven't made any attempts to make sure email is correct, nor made sure that the "Docusign" is ready for signature! Now its my fault that they didn't ask for co-buyers email. Then after giving it to the representative from where-ever in the world, THEY GOT THE EMAIL WRONG. Been hearing "so sorry for the inconvenience" like a broken record... On hold for hours, called and emailed them so many times throughout this whole purchase... salesman was great. But after the numbers and signature, ghost. Would not recommend this company. Why would Cargurus support these clowns.
I would rather be at the dealership! This company will soon go out of business with their horrendous customer service. WHAT A JOKE.

Frustrating experience with selling a vehicle to Vroom

Warning to potential sellers: Vroom's process is:
1. You upload personal and vehicle information online
2. You FedEx your vehicle's title to Vroom
3. You wait for Vroom to pickup your vehicle (in my case, 10 days after they received my title, no contact what so ever)
4. Once they receive your vehicle, they have the option to offer your a lower price with whatever reason they think fit. If you don't agree, I was told by Vroom customer service that sellers have to pay for the vehicle return shipping costs.
5. If you decided not to go through the process due to the long wait time, it would be at Vroom's mercy to get your signed vehicle title back.

Be warned. It is not worth the trouble to deal with Vroom, even if they offer couple hundred dollars more than other car buying companies.

After purchasing the vehicle on 15 Dec i made several phone calls daily to get the paperwork corrected. The initial paperwork was send out quick but was incorrect and it took me weeks to get that worked out. Mind you they had my deposit and down payment. After getting that fiasco finally took care of then without them telling me again I had to make phone calls daily it was about the insurance card I uploaded. So fast forward to 28 Dec I finally got everything in line. Well I get an email from vroom saying my vehicle will be delivered 9 Jan "on or about". Today is 17 Jan and it's still not at the "last mile hub". Favorite phrases they will tell you. "24-48 hours, I created a high priority case for you, I'm sorry can I place you on hold just to come back and to tell you "ummm" and put you back on hold. My first payment is due 6 Feb and I still don't have a vehicle that I'm paying insurance for. Stay as far away as possible.

Tip for consumers:
Do NOT buy from this company. The reviews are very accurate about them

I would not recommend Vroom, it's like once they have your money to hold the car they slow down and drag there feet. The process is for every long lucky to see your car in 3 weeks. 6 days after agree to purchase and giving them $500 mandatory to hold waiting on contract to sign then 10-14 for delivery after that. Never would I do this vfc again.

I purchased a car from Vroom. Wait... No I didn't. I donated 39k to Vroom obviously becaese it's been 3 weeks and supposedly they car is still in California. I'm in Chicago. This after they promised delivery in 10 to 14 days. Now nobody will respond or give me any information.

Tip for consumers:
Do not use them. That's the best advice anyone can utilize with Vroom

Do not, I repeat, do not buy from this company! They have the worst customer service that I have ever dealt with! A $26,000 vehicle was purchased from them, and they couldn't even give me a delivery date in writing! The day came and went, and the car is still not here! When customer service is called, I am put on hold for an hour, and then transferred to another rep, only to get the same ‘hold and transfer' all over again! This company sucks on their best day ever!

I bought a Tesla. Price was reasonable and appropriate. The delivery was made on a day when they were told we were not in town. The car was delivered dirty with undisclosed stains on seat and other defects. I requested compensation and it took them six weeks to respond after repeated emails and calls. They have still after 7 weeks not gotten me title to the car and are now extending temporary plate after I hounded them.
On the other hand, the car is great.

Vroom is super quick and happy to get you to sign contracts and get you a vehicle... but it has now been over 4 MONTHS and I still don't have a Registration, an Inspection, plates or Title. And no one can answer where I can get my title. So now I can't even sell the car because I don't know who/where the title is! Customer service is anything BUT SERVICE. You get a different person every time, whether it is email or phone. I just want to get out of this altogether but of course, can't get anyone to answer any questions! Looks like I'm the idiot. Don't buy from VROOM! (although the delivery service was excellent).

Absolutely no customer service. We have been utterly disappointed in the lack of customer service by Vroom. For four months we have been working thru their portals and customer service support and have received zero response. After following all of their requirements for purchase and receipt of an expensive Lexus, they have absolutely ignored our request for missing items from the car. At any price this company is not worth the aggravation.

I got an appraisal for my 2023 4-door Jeep Wrangler. Lifted with 35s, nice rims, all the bells and whistles. Only 4500 miles. I will not post here what I payed for it, but VROOM sent me an appraisal for $17,500. My wife, my friends have never laughed so hard. Thanks VROOM for providing us some entertainment value, at least. You guys are a JOKE!

This company is terrible. I am seeing all types of complaints. When I call, they will not transfer me to a person who knows about my problem. They refuse after six months to provide me with a title and will not speak to me. No supervisors or accessable complaint department. Look them up. Florida has filed cases on them for failing to provide a title.

Worst car dealer ever. Say goodby to your money and sanity. As a returning customer they treated me like crap and did not pay back my $249 deposit. They flipped or as they call it changed their policy on me, from the 2 months ago, when I purchased my first car and traded in another. They want me to provide insurance coverage for the car that's not in my position. No other car dealer does that. Even Carvana wants to verify that you have the coverage, when they deliver the car at your door. I have purchased several cars from Carmax and was never asked for such a thing. There are so many cars and car dealers out there. Why bother with a company that's only out there to screw people for their profit, only?

I just received a 2019 Audi with the check engine light on and the gear lever not moving. They are not willing to fix the issue and will not refund the $499.00 delivery fee. Buyer be ware apparently you need more than a phone and a finger.

Signed a contract with vroom, they found an issue with the car they were selling and said they could not sell the car. We asked for the $249 deposit back as they had no other cars we were interested in and have so far been denied twice stating the deposit is non-refundable. We were not told it was non-refundable and they have not delivered on anything except for creating incredible frustration and stress due to their unethical business practices.

Dent on door and bad brakes on a $28,000 vehicle really? Recondition your vehicles properly like you advertise, and give as much customer service after the sale as you say you do. Once you sign paperwork all lines of communications close with them.

Like many reviews- It starts out great, they tell you want you want to hear, you feel like it will be an easy process they boast of how they will take care of you, etc. I've been through several people, signed 3 contracts because they said others expired apparently and one they cancelled the order even though I had mailed my title as I was supposed to. Still nothing. And they've had my title for weeks, but every time I call they have an excuse- they said someone had tried to call me to pick up the car once [false] they said fedex was sent to me and I didn't sign [false] they promise I just have to sign one more thing- POA and then that will finalize it but they still haven't mailed me anything else. Still nothing- we have to call them daily and they say different things.

Tip for consumers:
Just don't- Stay away from this company

Their process claims to be seamless and smooth but it is anything but. I have had to contact them every step of the way concerning my vehicle purchase. I've had to contact them about documents they were supposed to be sending to my financial institution to actually trying to find out when my vehicle will be delivered. That's the biggie. My vehicle was supposedly picked up on September 24,2021 for delivery after getting my money on September 17,2021. To make a long story short, my vehicle was never picked up from the Hub and no one ever contacted me to let me know there were issues. If I did not call and ask a lot of questions, I would have never found out that my ride is still sitting at their Hub. The lady I dealt with was helpful and it wasn't her fault but I will never deal with Vroom again.
