Any idea why the window sticker would say 12” screen when it is a 15” screen? Does Ford make mistakes like that? Should that be a red flag?
All Lariats have 15” Sync 4A screen. The 12” screen is the instrument cluster aka productivity screen. All trims have that.

The sticker is correct.

THIS, is the root of the problem, this company has gotten into hot water pyramiding sales and & acquisitions, NOT paying of creditor liens in a timely fashion which causes the title release delays.
They grew too quickly, & couldn’t manage what they had.

Took a nice evening ride on the Road Glide to Norfolk for shiz & giggles, didn't see any Lightnings up front, couldn't get a full view of the secure lot where most of the inventory is held, it's probably not here and somewhere in Ohio........

From my research on Carvana, I will not consider buying from them. They have proven to be unscrupulous and irresponsible in many ways. Steer clear!

I know several people who have had great luck with Carvana

I have only bought two EVs from them. Not a very large sample. But, I would certainly do it again.

Experian and Carfax reports both look good to me. As to discrepancies on the window sticker, that's not that uncommon. The manufacturer will show the base option in one spot and correct it in another. My '22 Powerstroke sticker says it has a gas motor until you look at the options.
That Experian report says it was sold at auction. Is that normal? Maybe that how Carvana gets the vehicle?

It's possible that Carvana got this on an auction. I've seen other cars and trucks listed on their site that they acquired via auction. That's not unusual or necessarily a red flag.

It really just depends on. Some people just sell their vehicles to Carvana. Others buy a car & sell a vehicle to lessen the tax. And since their acquisition of Adesa, they do more auction vehicles.
