Not sure about Vroom, but carmax actually performs proper car inspections before purchase. Those CarMax inspections are so valuable that vultures patrol the parking lot, and if you leave without selling your car, they'll follow you home and make an offer on your car. It happened to me. CarMax said the car was worth $8,500. I wanted to bring in my other car for an evaluation to decide which one to sell. A guy followed me to the grocery store across the street, approached me in the parking lot and started his pitch with, "I'll give you a thousand dollars more than whatever CarMax offered you." I asked him if he wanted to look under the hood and take it for a test drive or anything, and he said he didn't need to, because CarMax had already done the hard work for him. (My life situation changed shortly thereafter and I didn't end up selling either car.)
