KANSAS CITY, Mo. — A leading online retailer for buying used cars has arrived in Kansas City.

Metro car buyers can now go to Carvana to buy a car and have it delivered to their home.

The company's co-founders, Ryan Keeton, said car buyers in Kansas City can complete the entire purchase process online with Carvana. Keeton said Carvana, which operates in 45 other cities, is committed to providing all customers with an experience free of haggling and full of savings. 

"Because we have lower overhead and we're online, you can save about $1,430.00 on average versus Kelly Blue Book by purchasing a car through Carvana," said Keeton.

Carvana owns its entire national inventory. According to Keeton, customers can view all features, imperfections and updated information about open safety recalls on the car’s vehicle description page. 

CarMax, the largest used car retailer in the country, is testing a similar home delivery option in Charlotte, North Carolina.

Carvana said they will take a trade-in and give buyers seven days to return the car if they decide they don't want it.
