Pittsburgh Gets Eight-Story Car Vending Machine

PITTSBURGH, PA - You now can buy a car in Pittsburgh much like you’d buy a bag of chips in your office breakroom. Carvana, an online car site, has opened an eight-story, 27-vehicle vending machine in Bridgeville.

How does it work? Customers who purchase a vehicle on Carvana.com can receive a commemorative coin to bring down the car in the vending machine - just like you would do if buying a Three Musketeers bar.

The pick-up process takes only minutes, compared to an average of four hours at the dealership. Also, every Carvana vehicle comes with a seven-day return policy, hopefully assuaging any concerns about purchasing a car online.

Pittsburgh is the second Carvana Car vending machine location in Pennsylvania and the 16th in the U.S. The state’s other Carvana machine is located in Philadelphia.

Located at 1300 Brockwell St. in Bridgeville, the vending machine is open Monday through Saturday from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m.

Here’s a video of how the vending machine works:
