VW Beetle

By William H., Brookfield, OH, Verified Reviewer

Very good. Like being informed through the process. Shipping went well. Would use Vroom again for another when needed. My wife loves the car. The only thing I didn't ask is if there was any warranty with the vehicle.

Vroom is a scam

By Maritza R., Keyport, NJ, Verified Reviewer

Took a month to get paid. Every time I called I got the runaround and no one was assigned to my account. A different person every time and had to explain again and again. Got hung up on after an hour on the phone and transferred to different people. Called a second time and the same thing happened. Called a third time and the same thing happened.

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

Scam company

Not trustworthy. Worst car buying experience ever.

By Jeffrey L., Vero Beach, FL, Verified Reviewer

I purchased a 2019 vehicle with 15k miles. All was good until the day before the scheduled delivery. I was told the driver would contact me 24 hours prior to the scheduled delivery. It never happened. On the delivery day they couldn't contact the driver. I waited all day, but no car. Finally, I was told to expect delivery early the next day. Finally, I got the car late afternoon. Wasted 2 days.

Upon inspection, I found undisclosed minor damage and the A/C was not working. I decided I wanted to return the car. After countless calls, transfers, and holds I spoke to several overtly friendly but incapable customer service people, none of whom had the capacity to help me. Finally, four days later I spoke with someone who explained a complicated return process that made me fear I wouldn't get my money for some time and possibly not all back.

I brought the car to the local Dodge dealer and the A/C repair was completed under warranty. I decided to accept the damage. While at the dealership the service advisor told me this was the second Vroom vehicle they serviced this week that had been delivered with an issue. Read the other reviews. There's a pattern. Save yourself some aggravation, don't buy from Vroom.

Length of Use: Less than 3 months

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

Pros and Cons

Initial experience good

Price was fair

Communication until delivery good

Car was misrepresented

Actual delivery was completely botched

Customer service has no capacity to handle real problems

Not worth the hassle

By Karlyn H., Milton-Freewater, OR, Verified Reviewer

Buying the car was simple enough. Interest rates were high. Registration process is unnecessarily difficult. It would be easier to register myself. Would not recommend or buy with Vroom again due to the registration process.

Length of Use: Less than 3 months

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

Pros and Cons

Car was well priced

Had the car I wanted

Convenient to buy online

Registration

Car sold to Vroom, no payment and found car listed on Vroom site for sale

By Yasser S., Austin, TX, Verified Reviewer

Sold one car to Carvana, got a check at time of pickup from a person in a Carvana uniform with a Carvana labeled truck. Sold one to Vroom and the guy showed up with no appointment, had me print the pickup slip, then said I don't have anything for you, the paper you printed is for him to take. Called Vroom and they said it's ok, let him take the car without the bill of lading. Then no payment, when I called 5 days later was told something broke in the process and they will fix it. Called again after 3 days and the same thing. Then saw the car listed for sale on Vroom.com. Called again and was told it will be taken care of. No payment, after 15 days called again and threatened to report the car stolen and a few days later was issued payment. Almost after 17 days.

Length of Use: Less than 3 months

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

Pros and Cons

Good offer

Unexpected pickup, car for sale on website before paid for

17 days to get payment after a dozen calls

Disconnect between departments after pickup

Great trade-in value and better pricing with no games

By Neil K., Richmond, KY, Verified Reviewer

From getting a good trade-in value from Mellisa to picking out a 2020 low mileage Infinity QX60 with salesman Sal, everything was great!

Length of Use: Less than 3 months

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

Pros and Cons

Shopping from my home computer

Friendliness of everyone I spoke to

Finding the perfect SUV for my wife

The paperwork ball was dropped twice

The 14 days to have it delivered

The wrong information we would receive from calls to obviously new people who still didn’t know their jobs

Update

By Mike P., Cary, NC, Verified Reviewer

After this post (coincidence?) I did hear back from Vroom and they did agree to pay for the battery and paint job to ensure the car was fixed to be 'as advertised'. Based on that, I'm updating this from 1 star to 3, as the end to end process was still far from perfect.

From the initial liar to the supervisory liar, it was lost info and excuses! When the driver told the truth it was what I expected! All Vroom's fault and lies!
