Poor communications

By James G. , Ventura, CA

Their communication is very poor. It took them 5 days to acknowledge the receipt of my down payment. They keep sending me requests for documents they already have. When I reply to their emails with a question I don’t get a reply. When I call them, I just get a call center person who can’t seem to do anything.

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

The sales person was very friendly and helpful, but after I made the purchase they no longer made any effort to communicate.

Vroom is awesome! I love selling cars to them!

By Aaron C., Naples, FL, Verified Reviewer

Selling my car to Vroom was an amazing experience! I didn't want to go to a dealership and deal with all the hassles from the salespeople trying to pressure me into selling my car too cheaply and buying their car too expensively. Vroom was a simple no-hassle process that gave me a fair price for my car. I love it because no pressure from salespeople, got a fair price, the whole process took a few days and I didn't have to leave my house to sell my car. I love Vroom, I will sell more cars to Vroom in the future. I highly recommend them!

Length of Use: Less than 3 months

Pros and Cons

No pressure from sales people

Didn't have to leave my house

Quick process, a few days from start to cashed a check

The carrier didn't call to confirm pick-up time

Lack of integrity

By James H., Raleigh, NC, Verified Reviewer

I was quoted an offer to purchase my car. The offer was great, so I agreed to sell. However, the offer that I was quoted was not the amount I received. Vroom and the representatives have not held to their end of this transaction. I am owed 60% more than what I was paid. I have conversed with 7 people all of them are saying the same “a check is in the mail.” I have been given a check number, but no tracking number. I have seen no check, and I have no resolution.

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

Being taken advantage of

The continuous lies

The deceptive practices

Much better than dealing with salespeople at the dealership

By Casey G., Charleston, WV , Verified Reviewer

I don't personally know anyone who has ordered a car online before, so I was a little nervous. I knew what I wanted, but was unable to find it anywhere around my state. After a couple of months of searching EVERY DAY, I decided to just look online. That's when Vroom popped up.

Jonathan Busany eased my mind and was quick to answer any questions I had. The process was very easy and I received my car faster than I expected, which was a plus. I'm very happy with my experience!

Length of Use: Less than 3 months

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

Pros and Cons

Easy. The gentleman assigned to me walked me through every step of the process.

Convenient. I found exactly what I wanted and bought my car while I was at work.

No nonsense. I've been to so many dealerships and talked with so many scummy salesmen trying to rip me off and I'm OVER it. No haggling, no lies, no hidden agenda.

I wish they would've filled my new car up with gas before delivering it to me, it only had 1/4 tank, so I had to fill it up right after it was delivered.

Fast

Easy

Convenient

Could have had a better price; more competitive offer

Stay away, zero communication after the sales!

By David L., Los Angeles, CA, Verified Reviewer

Took delivery of my car on 3/22/22, my temporary registration expired on 5/14/22, today is 5/23/22. I've been calling VROOM since late April, every time was told to wait for the registration paperwork.

On 5/10/22 I called and spoke to Alexis, explained to her my situation and frustration and she opened a case #01355042 and told me to wait for an email within 24–72 hours for a response.

A week went by with no email so I called on 5/17/22 and spoke to Dieto, who informed me that my paperwork was lost by FedEx and will re-FedEx me my registration documents, and also told me they will provide me a rental car, I need to wait for an email within 24–72 hours.

Still no emails as of 5/20/22 so I called again and spoke to Carbella who escalated this to a priority case (I guess prior to that my case is not a priority) and will receive a priority email in 24 hours.

Today 5/23/22, still no email and response, so I called to speak to Nelson who put me on hold and got disconnected (or maybe hung up on me). Called back and spoke to Auguo, who looked at the case and informed me he will make another priority request and I need to wait for 24–72 for a response. I demanded to talk to a supervisor or manager and was told a supervisor/manager doesn't take calls and I need to wait for an email.

This is the first time I purchased online from Vroom, and so far very unpleasant experience. I should have purchased from a traditional car dealership to save time and hassles. As of now I have a car with an expired temp tag that I can't drive and I don't have a spare car. I'm not happy!

As of 5/27/22, still no email, no phone calls. I filed a complaint with Texas DMV, will pursue this matter through the courts!
