Poor excuse for a dealership

By Mitchell B., Granite Falls, NC, Verified Reviewer

Would not do business with Vroom ever again. I question their honesty since the pictures they presented online did not reflect the hood damage that cost me $1100 to repair. They only paid $500 toward the repair. I had an issue with the retail contract that had additional charges added to the second copy. Took over 2 weeks to get a person to look at it and fix it. Really question if the hassle was worth it. Never going to do business with Vroom ever again.

Length of Use: Less than 3 months

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

Pros and Cons

Delivery person was excellent

Getting someone to listen

A phone number to a real person

Don't change costs after the first retail contract

Great job, Vroom!

By Paul W., Royal Oak, MI, Verified Reviewer

I had a great experience with Vroom.

The ease of the website to search for the vehicle I wanted was easy. I love the ample amounts of photos that were available, including "imperfections."

I felt comfortable submitting the deposit in order to hold the vehicle and begin the process. From start to finish, the process took me about 4 days to place my deposit, and get my financing together and solidified.

Now, I purchased my vehicle 2 days before Christmas, so, unfortunately, I did NOT get my vehicle in 14 days due to all of the holidays. I got my vehicle just under 3 weeks later.

The only feedback that would cause me to give a 4–4.5 star rating was the glitch in communication after I finalized paperwork to when my paperwork was delivered.

I had minimal communication after finalization to delivery. I called support twice and was told I should have been receiving multiple emails, and I did not. I had to call in a few times to get status updates. The day before delivery, and even the day after delivery, I started receiving emails that I know I was supposed to get weeks prior and in a more regular interval. When I did speak to support, I was told it was a glitch and they put in a ticket for them to contact me more often.

Other than that, I would purchase from them again in a heartbeat.

Length of Use: Less than 3 months

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

Pros and Cons

Easy

Seemless transaction

Selling was a breeze

By Sandra M., San Antonio, TX, Verified Reviewer

Selling online was a daunting task at first glance. I submitted my car info to other online dealers, along with local dealers. Vroom came in at a higher offer by $2k. Obviously decided to go that route. Let me tell you, once I submitted the offer, their email instructions were so clear on what the procedure was. Got paid quickly once the car was picked up like 2 days later via check, tracked by FedEx too. I had to call them once and top-notch service. If I ever need to sell again, I would definitely contact them.

Simply choose Vroom

By Nana P., Hackensack, NJ, Verified Reviewer

Pleasant surprise

By Leslie E., Queens, NY, Verified Reviewer

Vroom gave me the highest offer. I was a little nervous about the transaction but decided to give it a try. My salesperson, Cassie Durant, was there for me the whole time. The paperwork was quick and painless. A wonderful gentleman picked up my car from my driveway. Exactly 3 business days later a check was in my hands!

Hassle-free sell!

By Tyler W., Beebe, AR, Verified Reviewer

Selling my VW GTI on Vroom was quite possibly the easiest car transaction I’ve ever done…and I’ve done my fair share! I filled out the details, got an offer, and within two weeks I was paid. Probably faster if I hadn’t done this over Christmas and New Year! Seriously considering purchasing my next car from them. Buying/selling online is the new world people!

Bait and switch

By Valerie B., Round Rock, TX, Verified Reviewer

I have never experienced a bait and switch before I applied for a 2014 Cadillac CTS. I applied for financing through Vroom with a trade-in and the purchase summary gave me a 6.79% interest rate and a $383 monthly car payment. I spoke with my sales agent (who was very pleasant to work with) and he stated I would need some other documents uploaded, which I did, and a $249 deposit to hold the car, which I did based on the purchase summary I saw. The next day when I checked to see if all the documents were uploaded, the purchase summer changed to a finance company that gave a 17.74% interest rate and a $516 a month payment for a total of $37k for this car.

I talked to the sales agent and told him that is not what I saw when I put the deposit on this car, which I would have never given for the rate that I now see. The agent stated he didn't see a quote for the 6.79% but would try to get my deposit back. The deposit refund was denied and I feel Vroom took advantage of my sub-par credit score and ripped me off for $300.

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

Pros and Cons

The sales agent was nice

The car

I got ripped off for $300

The website and the agent did not have the same information

Not giving you a real quote before asking for a deposit

Vroom equals scam

By Daniel B., Chicago, IL, Verified Reviewer

I purchased a vehicle on Vroom.com. They were quick to respond and extremely efficient. The deal was done in a day and my car would be delivered in 10. On top of that, the transport team would contact me in 3 days. Hahaha. After that, I never heard anything from anybody and can't get anyone to respond with anything but we are sourcing transportation. Now it's been over 3 weeks. I'm out $40,000 and supposedly have a loan for an additional $50,000, yet I have no idea when or if I will ever receive this vehicle. Or if it even exists.

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

Good price and process but a bad car

By Anshul M., Seattle, WA, Verified Reviewer

The car price and the process of buying were smooth. However, my 2018 VW Atlas has a dead battery and non-working cruise control/front assist within 3 weeks of delivery. I am shocked the car passed the inspection, which is supposed to be thorough.

Guess what? Both these are not covered by the 90-day limited warranty and I am without transportation for this week.

By Muhammad S., Rockville, MD, Verified Reviewer

It was my first time buying a car online. God bless Vroom, I successfully purchased my car and am glad to have it. There were some minor issues with the car, which were resolved immediately. I am really very happy.

On top of everything, I was not charged for any hidden fees or other fees that are charged by dealers.

God bless you guys.
