AUSTIN, Texas -

Online vehicle retailer Carvana continued its expansion on Tuesday, broadening its physical footprint in the Lone Star State.

Coming aboard to join the company’s delivery markets is Austin, Texas. Carvana now can cater to customers in seven markets, including:

Atlanta
Austin, Texas
Birmingham, Ala.
Dallas
Charlotte, N.C.
Houston
Nashville, Tenn. 

Part of the reason for the developments in Texas is, Carvana mentioned, a recent online Harris Poll of state residents age 18 and older found nearly one third of adults would purchase a vehicle 100 percent online.

Carvana aims to provide free, next-day delivery on all purchases within a 100-mile radius of any location, meaning 5.5 million consumers in the Austin area are now within that range. The company also offers additional delivery options to consumers across the country.

To show appreciation for Austin’s early adopters who have purchased a vehicle through Carvana prior to Tuesday’s launch, Carvana is offering to refund the delivery fee they previously paid with their purchase.

All told, Carvana estimated 44.7 million consumers total can benefit from Carvana’s free, next day delivery option

“Carvana offers an innovative approach to car buying, and we’re excited to be in Austin, where innovation and forward-thinking ideas are embraced and celebrated,” Carvana founder and chief executive officer Ernie Garcia said.

“With Carvana, you can buy a car entirely online — from financing, to trade-in to signing contracts to scheduling delivery, along with the peace of mind of a seven-day no questions asked return policy,” Garcia continued. “We’ve seen an incredible response to our offering and our mission is to give people everywhere a better way to buy a car. Austin is huge step toward achieving that goal.”

Garcia added Carvana has raised more than $300 million in funding to date and plans to continue its aggressive expansion strategy over the coming months and years.
