Six months ago, I was considering buying a car from Carvana or similar, and their prices didn't seem outrageous: the market was also much more liquid than any other I was aware of. The difference wasn't just a "couple hours" at a dealership—it was all in time and attention. I wound up with a new Tesla, partially because used car prices were so high. The amount of time and attention buying cars still commands, in most cases, is ridiculous, and the efforts of Carvana to lower both, however imperfect, is commendable.
