Stress-free, easy process

By Kevin D., Lemont, IL, Verified Reviewer

I sold my car to Vroom, and it was the best way to do it. Their offer was, by far, higher than any other dealer’s. The process was extremely efficient and required very little of my time. Would definitely do it again with them!

A great new option Vroom

Late model with low mileage vehicles with a huge selection.

Site is unseen so a lot of trust is given to Vroom. I was rewarded with a great car in mint condition.

Vroom is the way

By Vernon J., Chicago, IL, Verified Reviewer

I will probably never go to a traditional dealership again. The process was so easy. I literally started and ended the process while running errands during a pandemic. Prices, quality of vehicles, and ease were tenets throughout. The best part: No annoying high-pressured salespeople. I could search out the vehicle I wanted and knew there was a high standard of quality and inspections completed.

Length of Use: Less than 3 months

Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Pros and Cons

Ease

Selection

No pressure

Delivery correspondence

Temp tags

Nice cars

By Toby M., Temple, TX, Verified Reviewer

Great selection of vehicles online.

Priced well.

For buying online it wasn't as automated as I would have thought...

Sales agent never followed up through the process, I always had to reach out to him for updates.

Customer service center employees were nice but it took several calls to get the information I needed and to get problems resolved.

Length of Use: Less than 3 months

Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Pros and Cons

Price

Customer service

Lack of communication

Quality of inspection of the vehicle I bought

Horrible experience

By Paul B., Orange County, CA, Verified Reviewer

Worst car buying experience. So many disappointments but here are the highlights. They offered me $26k for my trade but then the paperwork arrived, they had changed the offer to $25,500. When the car I purchased arrived, it had no temp registration, no gas, was due for immediate service and had a broken panoramic sunroof.

Do yourself a favor and buy local and see the vehicle before you buy.

Length of Use: Less than 3 months

Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Pros and Cons

No “pros” were specified in this review

Lied about offer price

Didn’t inspect vehicle like they said

Didn’t service or prepare vehicle for sale like they said

Vroom is a company that delivers

By Karen M., Erie, PA, Verified Reviewer

Vroom was my first online buying experience. I was only casually looking but the quality of the pictures, information, details, and customer service made it easy for me to buy a car without sitting in it first. PLUS they allow a 7-day (or so many miles) trial period. Purchase, delivery, pickup (I traded my car and got a fair price), and receipt of registration paperwork was amazing!

Length of Use: Less than 3 months

Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Pros and Cons

Service - Spencer Orlando was the best

Pictures of the car including damage (if any)

Ease of use

Self-inflicted wound

By Dave T., Los Angeles, CA, Verified Reviewer

Sales and customer service were great. Friendly, patient, helpful, empathetic, but the people on the ground, actually dealing with the cars, suck.

My car came with a dead battery, no dealer plates, and lots of damage that was NOT called out on their site. In the end, I returned the car, just felt like a bait and switch. The car I saw on the site was not the car I got...I mean technically it was, but it had paint damage and dents.

Like I said, the customer service people were great and they picked the car up and refunded all my money, so no complaints with customer service.

Length of Use: Less than 3 months

Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Pros and Cons

Good prices on cars

Nice sales people

Nice customer service people

Car arrived with damage

Horrible customer service

By Tabetha C., Florida, Verified Reviewer

Horrible, horrible, horrible process and customer service. One star is way too high of a rating. I have been trying to get the tires replaced because according to their Vroom "promises", the tires are supposed to be at least 4/32. After I had mine inspected and they are at 2/32 with the wear bar showing on all four tires. The oil gasket leaks so I am not sure how this car could have been "inspected" with their high inspection standards. I do everything they tell me to do when I call in and the next time I call in they want something different to show "proof", even though I have credible documentation from auto body shops and pictures to show the issues. I have continued to jump through hoops, call in and each time I have to talk to a different person and I am "promised" a call back from the rep assigned to my case, and I have never received a call back. I have asked to speak to a manager each time I call in and I am refused to be transferred.

My car was delivered dirty. The site said there were no imperfections on my car, but when delivered, there are rock chips, buffed scratches in the paint, and cracks in my windshield. Save your time and money. Do not ever buy from this company. I have bought online in the past through Carvana with huge success and invaluable customer service. This company is a joke and is not here to help the customer or resolve issues. The process is convoluted and inconvenient.
