PHOENIX -

November has been another active month at Carvana, which like many used-vehicle retailers is dealing with the headwinds of high wholesale prices and limited supply.

Still, Carvana not only expanded its Midwest footprint in November, the retailer also added the 29th and 30th vehicle vending machines to its marketing portfolio.

Carvana now offers as-soon-as-next-day vehicle delivery to customers in 309 cities across the U.S., having gone into a place that often is a hotbed for presidential politics — Des Moines, Iowa.

“Des Moines is quickly becoming a central hub of culture and growth in the Midwest, so we’re pleased to make our Iowa debut here with The New Way to Buy a Car,” Carvana founder and chief executive officer Ernie Garcia said in a news release. “We are changing the way people buy and sell cars across the country, and we’re confident that Des Moines will embrace the ease and transparency our online car shopping experience offers.”

And Carvana’s experience also can include taking delivery from one of its famous vending machines. The company recently opening machines in Salt Lake City and Richmond, Va., to go with the ones it already operates in Nevada, Kentucky, Tennessee, Texas, Florida, Maryland, Arizona, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Indiana, Illinois, Missouri, North Carolina, Oklahoma, California, Michigan and Georgia.

“Earlier this year we debuted as-soon-as-next-day delivery in Salt Lake City, and now we’re proud to also bring our newest car vending machine to the community,” Garcia said in another news release.

In a third announcement, Garcia added, “Richmond is now home to our 30th car vending machine, one of the tallest we’ve ever built. This homage to Richmond’s distinguished historic district showcases our fun, customer-centric car buying experience and we look forward to continuing to deliver exceptional customer experiences here for years to come.”
