How disrupting the used car market caused Carvana to succeed and stumble

is a used car retailer that lets customers find, tour, buy and finance vehicles completely online. The company then delivers the vehicles straight to a customer's home or allows them to pick up their purchase from one of Carvana's 33 fully-automated car vending machines.

It's a business model that helped propel the company to new heights during the coronavirus pandemic. Supply chain problems choked the production of new vehicles, social distancing measures made Carvana's online-only car buying experience desirable, government stimulus programs gave consumers extra cash to spend and rock-bottom interest rates encouraged them to do just that.

In the summer of 2021, Carvana celebrated its first profitable quarter. On Aug. 10, of last year, Carvana's stock reached its all-time intraday high of $376.83 a share.

That's great news thank you for sharing all the information

1. They assume people want to buy former rental cars, 2. Assume people won’t spend 10 minutes shopping around…on-line, 3. Assume a big coin in a vending machine outweighs overpaying for a car… It’s a junk model and company that need to die.

Always inverse Kramer

Cramer recommendation?

I miss Shepard Smith. That was the best thing CNBC did, have him on. You are a nothing network....

About time for that company or multiple way out of sorts!
