Carvana description vs window sticker

[farmtruck]

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?

If you look under functional equipment on the sticker, it says it has Sync 4A with EVR & 15.5" screen.

Ok so I should just buy it right? No red flags? I’m just looking for reasons not to at this point.

I don’t see anywhere in Carvana to see where the vehicle is located.

Maybe what I'm seeing at the bottom of the page is "dynamic" based on IP of browser?
But this is what I see.

Played a little zip code bingo and it appears this vehicle is in Warrensville Heights OH. You can pick it up today at this location with no freight charges. Good catch by Taxmanhog on the map in the photos.

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.

I've heard and read about issues securing titles on Carvana deals, one of my neighbors waited over a year to get title to Benz he bought from a TX location, they transported the vehicle to him with a texas temp tag on it, eventually it expired and they kept sending him revised temp's until finally securing the MV title.

Ugh that freaks me out bi don’t want to deal with that crap

So are we worried that the window sticker is NOT from the truck that's for sale?
I've bought two EVs, including my 2022 Lightning Lariat (with all these bells and whistles) from Carvana, and both have been marvelous.
Here's the link to the window sticker of your truck for anyone playing at home: https://www.carfax.com/phoenix/stic...ekA4F1QQGTZOf49VtQLSFfNb7vbkX9w_WOAOiyy9q.cfx

U can reach out to Carvana directly and have them check on it. Use the Stock Number: 2003631114 as a reference. I think they still use SalesForce.

Yeah pretty much. The VIN doesn’t work on the ford lookup site. I was confused at the discrepancies of the sticker and listing but those all seem normal. The VIN not working is the only concern now

They don’t keep the sticker on Ford’s website very long after the vehicle is sold if that’s what you are concerned about. You can go to:

and purchase one but Carfax has it so why buy it?

If you read the window sticker carefully, you’ll see it also says it has the 15” screen. The 12” screen is default and in the “Functional" section of the window sticker, it notes that the truck comes with Sync4 and the 15” screen. That’s how all of the window stickers are.

My only carvana experience was selling to them, twice (Volvo XC90, Toyota Tacoma). I provided the title to them, but if the title was not provided I could see it being a problem. I would hope that if carvana was paying off the vehicle loan that the title would be sent to carvana, but if sent to the previous owner it could be problematic.

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.

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.
