Wednesday, December 21st, 2016
Carvana – the nation’s leading online auto retailer and creator of the world’s first-ever fully-automated, coin-operated Car Vending Machine – has partnered with LGE Community Credit Union to offer LGE members access to its certified, competitively priced vehicles and stress-free, online car buying experience. Through the partnership, LGE members can browse Carvana’s online inventory of vehicles and purchase a car in as little as 11 minutes, and have it delivered to them as soon as the next day, all from the convenience of their home.
LGE Community Credit Union members have the flexibility to visit any of the credit union’s nine full-service locations in Georgia to speak with a loan officer about becoming pre-approved for a Carvana vehicle or can consult with a loan officer via phone, email or through an online application. Following approval, members can complete their vehicle search and purchasing process entirely online with Carvana.
“Carvana is dedicated to putting transparency back into the car buying process and offering an experience that exceeds shoppers’ expectations every time,” says Scott Brooks, VP of marketing and business development for LGE Community Credit Union. “We wanted to offer our members an easy, affordable way to purchase vehicles and Carvana was a natural, ideal fit.”
The LGE partnership is one of 13 credit unions Carvana works with across the country. The company’s customizable platform delivers unparalleled offerings for credit unions and its member. Partners have access to Carvana’s inventory of high quality, competitively priced vehicles, extensive co-branded marketing opportunities as well as a fully integrated, co-branded website.
“We are excited to team up with LGE and offer its members the opportunity to either shop for a new vehicle or trade in their current one, without the hassle of leaving their home,” says Ernie Garcia, CEO and co-founder of Carvana. “Credit unions have been incredible partners of ours as they share our customer-first mentality and are receptive to innovation. We are privileged to have the opportunity to work with LGE and look forward to making the car shopping experience as seamless and stress free as possible for its members.”
