There are a substantial number of benefits that Carvana has to offer for individuals looking to purchase or sell their vehicle. After doing some extensive research, I found a unique and intriguing Environmental opportunity that Carvana has established, where they are generating the . The purpose behind this system is for Carvana to purchase other individuals’ used cars, who are either looking for something different or ready to move on from it and resell them to someone that can find a meaningful use for it.

While his son runs the company, Garcia II holds the majority of voting power and shares, which may lead to some ethical concerns given his ex-con history and shady business dealings.
