Carvana's first new-car dealership in Casa Grande, Arizona, sold over 700 new vehicles in May, according to Stellantis data shared with CNBC, far exceeding the same store's prior average of 30 to 50 sales before Carvana took over. The company spent $171 million to acquire seven Stellantis dealerships as part of its entry into new-car sales, aiming to apply its online-focused, low-overhead model to the segment. Carvana will continue to offer its own financing and operate dealership service bays as normal, targeting the lucrative parts and service and finance and insurance revenue streams that typically generate the majority of gross profit for traditional dealers. The early results suggest Carvana's strategy could disrupt the legacy new-car retail market, though questions remain about scalability and profitability beyond this initial store.
