Summary · why it matters

Carvana is buying physical dealerships, primarily from Stellantis, in a strategic pivot that could give it control over the entire trade-in lifecycle and unlock high-margin service and parts revenue. The online used-car retailer’s recently acquired Arizona dealership saw monthly sales jump from 30 to 50 vehicles to more than 700 new vehicles in May, according to Stellantis figures. Carvana’s physical locations will not sell vehicles in person but will offer test drives and help consumers buy from a larger online selection, while also capturing trade-in inventory and service bay revenue. The move comes as Stellantis embarks on a $70 billion global turnaround plan focused on North America, with 11 new vehicles headed to the U.S. market and many priced under $40,000. Carvana’s early success and Stellantis’ massive investment could make this pairing a major growth driver for Carvana over the next five years.
