Carvana, an e-commerce platform for buying and selling used cars, opened its flagship car vending machine in Atlanta today, the same city Carvana sold its first car in just seven years ago, according to a press release.

Atlanta is now home to the tallest car vending machine in the U.S., standing 12 stories high with a 43-vehicle capacity.

In as little as five minutes, customers can shop more than 20,000 vehicles, finance, purchase, trade in and schedule as-soon-as-next-day pick up at the new car vending machine. Area customers may also choose touchless home delivery.

Customers who choose car vending machine pickup can set an appointment by selecting a day and time convenient for them. When they arrive, they will be the only customer inside the car vending machine, will be greeted by a customer advocate and receive a commemorative Carvana coin to activate the automated vending process. Customers then get an immersive, central view of their vehicle descending through the structure from the heart of the all-glass tower.

All Carvana vehicles come with a seven-day return policy. This upgrade to the traditional test drive allows customers to live with their vehicle for a week, whether it's finding a parking spot at the Beltline or making sure the car seats fit. Customers can also sell their current vehicle to Carvana and receive a real offer in just minutes — even without purchasing a vehicle.

The Atlanta car vending machine is located at 166 16th Street NW.
