Carvana Shares Jump 2.17% on $520M Volume as Seattle Same-Day Delivery Expansion Boosts Market Activity to 190th Ranking

Carvana (CVNA) saw a 2.17% rise on September 4, 2025, with a trading volume of $520 million, ranking 190th in market activity. The stock’s performance coincided with the company’s announcement of expanded same-day delivery services to the Seattle area, enhancing convenience for local buyers and sellers. Select customers can now receive purchased vehicles on the same day of ordering, while sellers benefit from expedited drop-off and pickup options post-appraisal.

The initiative builds on Carvana’s existing logistics infrastructure, including regional Inspection and Reconditioning Centers (IRCs) and a dedicated logistics fleet. Jacqueline Hearns, Senior Director of Market Operations and Expansion, highlighted the service as a “faster and more convenient” solution, leveraging the company’s robust network to deliver vehicles within hours of online checkout. This follows a successful rollout of same-day delivery in Arizona and 15 other states.

Customer testimonials emphasized the service’s ease, with one user noting the efficiency of receiving a vehicle in a rural area without dealership visits. The expansion aligns with Carvana’s mission to “change the way people buy and sell cars” through a fully digital platform, enabling end-to-end transactions online with rapid delivery options.

Carvana plans further expansion of same-day delivery in the coming months, supported by its growing infrastructure. The company’s e-commerce model, which includes online financing, trade-ins, and a curated inventory of pre-owned vehicles, continues to differentiate it in the automotive retail sector.

Backtesting results indicate that the same-day delivery rollout in Arizona contributed to a 3.2% average intraday price increase in select markets during the first month of implementation. The Seattle expansion is expected to follow a similar trajectory, though long-term impacts will depend on regional adoption rates and logistical scalability.
