LOUISVILLE, Ky. — A vending machine is always convenient for grabbing a drink or snack on the go but now people in Louisville will be able to buy a car from one.
Carvana, one of the leading online platforms for buying and selling used cars, announced the official launch of a car vending machine in Louisville.
The vending machine stands eight stories tall and has a 27-car capacity.
By appointment only, customers can select the day to pick up their car after purchasing it online, at which time they will be the only customer inside the vending machine.
A representative will then meet them and give a commemorative, oversized coin to activate the automated vending process.
Buyers then get an immersive, central view of their vehicle descending through the structure from the heart of the all-glass tower.
“Just three years ago we brought the New Way To Buy A Car® to Louisville, and customers have continued to enjoy the ease and convenience we offer,” said founder and CEO Ernie Garcia in a press release. “As we enhance our presence here with the launch of our newest Car Vending Machine, we look forward to providing area residents with a fun, safe option for getting their next vehicle.”
Carvana’s newest Car Vending Machine is the first of its kind in the Commonwealth, and the 25th in the United States.
The Louisville Car Vending Machine is located at 1510 Lakeshore Court. Location hours are Monday through Saturday from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m.
Vehicle pickup at any of Carvana’s Car Vending Machines is free for all Carvana customers.
