In the UK, there is Cazoo (which is a direct clone of Carvana).
My experience with them was incredible - I picked out the car and paid for it online and they brought it on a truck at exactly the agreed time. The whole purchase took 20 minutes of my time, including delivery. When they delivery person started to explain the car's features, I said I was familiar with the model as I had rented it before and researched it. He said great, he'll leave me to it. The price charged was exact, to the cent. The car's condition was exactly as shown online.
Hopefully those types of start-ups will be successful and will become more popular. It was exactly what I wish all car buying was like.
My past experiences buying cars in the US from dealerships was always a nightmare. Even if you walk in with cash to buy a specific car, it was always somehow a 4+ hour process with all the hoops they make you jump through and all the add-ons they try to tack on.
