Default Carvana GSF

So I've been reading through the forum and all the information on here over the past month since I'm in the market now for a GSF. I've been seeing the one on Carvana keep popping up and going down in price, so now I'm curious, what does everyone think is wrong with that car?

Personally, I am not sure why anyone would want to buy a car before they can see or test drive it.

Interestingly enough - I have purchased multiple cars without ever driving or seeing them in-person. With PPI and shipping options readily available in most markets, access to limited production cars opens up availability and price points exponentially. With my GSF, the option in Ft. Lauderdale had less miles and a $5K discount relative to the deal I could negotiate in St. Louis; a fine example of local-market supply and demand at work.

Funny story, I actually bought the car, signed the contract and all last week. They didn't like the scan of my CA. DL and said they couldn't register it because of that. If this was a brick and mortar dealer this would've never happened. I thought the price and low mileage was worth the risk and it still had over 2 years left on the original warranty. Plus, they give you 7 days to turn it back in no questions and my plan was going to take it immediately to my local Lexus dealer for a super thorough inspection which I'd gladly pay several hundred dollars for to mitigate the potential "sight unseen" purchase risk.

Looking at the Lexus Service seems the car started here in mass. The car had a rim repaired and simoniz added, as well as Lojack installed. The battery was replaced at 9K. Hope this helps you, sounds like a good deal nothing really stood out on the service history.

Yeah this is what I saw as well. Doesn't have a sketchy Lexus service history nor does the carfax show anything. It's a low mileage one owner 2016 at under $50k. That is an absolute steal IMO.

This is a pretty sweet price for a low-mileage GSF! I don't see any major red flags either.
My only wonder is why the battery was replaced so early and why the 5000 mile oil change wasn't performed.
I love black, but I don't have the time or patience to maintain that beautiful color...
