The Garcia Parties are currently entitled to ten votes per share of Class B common stock they beneficially own. All other holders of Class B common stock are entitled to one vote per share.

FOR the ratification of the appointment of Grant Thornton LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm for the year ending December 31, 2019; 3.

Beneficial Stockholders . lf you hold your shares through a broker, trustee, or other nominee, you are a beneficial stockholder. To vote your shares, please refer to the materials forwarded to you by your broker, bank, or other nominee for instructions on how to vote the shares you hold as a beneficial stockholder. Registered Stockholders . If you hold shares in your own name, you are a registered stockholder and may vote by written ballot at the annual meeting or by proxy before the annual meeting in the following ways: 1. — online at www.proxypush.com/CVNA; 2. by phone by calling (866) 509-2149; or 3. by signing and returning a proxy card. Proxies submitted online or by telephone must be received before 8:00 AM (PDT) on April 23, 2019. Q: Can LT access the proxy materials electronically? Yes.

Our proxy materials are also available at www.proxypush.com/CVNA and will be available during the voting period starting on March 14, 2019. Instead of receiving future copies of our proxy statement and annual reports by mail, stockholders of record and most beneficial owners can elect to receive an email that will provide an electronic link to these documents. Your election to receive future proxy materials by email will remain in effect until you revoke it. Please note that only one notice will be sent to stockholders who are listed at the same address. ade HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_024310
Table of Contents Q: How may I change or revoke my proxy? Beneficial Stockholders . Beneficial stockholders should contact their broker, trustee, or nominee for instructions on how to change their proxy vote. Registered Stockholders . Registered stockholders may change a properly executed proxy at any time before its exercise by 1. delivering written notice of revocation to the general counsel and secretary at our principal executive offices at 1930 W. Rio Salado Pkwy, Tempe, AZ 85281; 2. submitting another proxy that is dated later than the original proxy (including a proxy via telephone or internet); or 3. voting in person at the annual meeting. Q: Who can attend the annual meeting? Subject to space availability, all common stockholders as of the record date, or their duly appointed proxies, may attend the annual meeting. Since seating is limited, admission to the annual meeting will be on a first-come, first-served basis. Registration will begin at 7:30 AM (PDT). If you attend, please note that you may be asked to present valid photo identification, such as a driver’s license or passport. Please also note that if you are a beneficial stockholder (that is, you hold your shares through a broker, bank or other nominee), you will need to bring a copy of a brokerage statement reflecting your stock ownership as of the record date and check in at the registration desk at the annual meeting. Cameras, recording devices and other electronic devices will not be permitted at the annual meeting. Q: What is the voting requirement to approve each of the items, and how are the votes counted? ITEM 1 — ELECTION OF DIRECTORS . A plurality of the votes cast by the shares of common stock present in person or represented by proxy at the meeting and entitled to vote thereon is required to elect each nominee. This means that the two nominees receiving the highest number of votes at the annual meeting will be elected, even if those votes do not constitute a majority of the votes cast. Abstentions and broker non-votes will not impact the election of the nominees. ALL OTHER ITEMS . The affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast by the shares of common stock present in person or represented by proxy at the meeting and entitled to vote thereon is required to approve all other items. Abstentions will be counted as present and entitled to vote on the proposal and will therefore have the effect of a negative vote. We do not expect there to be any broker non-votes with respect to any of the proposals. -3- HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_024311
Table of Contents Q: When will the results of the vote be announced? The preliminary voting results will be announced at the annual meeting. The final voting results will be published in a current report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC within four business days of the annual meeting.

If so, Carvana will release an updated time frame for stockholder proposals. Any stockholder proposal or director nomination must comply with the other provisions of Carvana’s amended and restated bylaws and be submitted in writing to the general counsel and secretary at Carvana’s principal executive offices. -4- HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_024312
Table of Contents BOARD OF DIRECTORS AND CORPORATE GOVERNANCE Our business and affairs are managed under the direction of our Board, which is composed of five directors. Our certificate of incorporation provides that the authorized number of directors may be changed only by resolution of our Board. Our certificate also provides that our Board will be divided into three classes of directors, with the classes as nearly equal in number as possible. At each annual meeting of stockholders, a class of directors will be elected for a three-year term to succeed the class whose term is then expiring. The following table sets forth the director class, name, age as of April 23, 2019, and other information for each member of our board of directors: EXPIRATION CURRENT OF TERM DIRECTOR TERM FOR WHICH NAME CLASS AGE POSITION SINCE EXPIRES NOMINATED Gregory Sullivan II 60 Director 2017 2019 2022 Dan Quayle II 72 Director 2017 2019 2022 Michael Maroone Ill 65 Lead Director 2017 2020 Ernest Garcia III I 36 President, CEO and Chairman 2017 2021 Ira Platt I 55 Director 2017 2021 We believe that in order for our Board to effectively guide us to long-term sustainable, dependable performance, it should be composed of individuals with sophistication and experience in the many disciplines that impact our business. To best serve our stockholders, we seek to have a board that, as a whole, is competent in key corporate disciplines, including accounting and financial acumen, business judgment, crisis management, governance, leadership, people management, risk management, social responsibility and reputational issues, and strategy and strategic planning. Additionally, the Board desires to have specific knowledge related to our industry, such as expertise in automotive retail and consumer finance. The Compensation and Nominating Committee believes that all directors must, at a minimum, meet the criteria set forth in the Board’s code of conduct and the corporate governance guidelines, which specify, among other things, that the Compensation and Nominating Committee will consider criteria such as independence, diversity, age, skills, and experience in the context of the needs of the Board. In addressing issues of diversity in particular, the Compensation and Nominating Committee considers a nominee’s differences in viewpoint, professional experience, background, education, skill, age, race, gender, and national origin. The Compensation and Nominating Committee believes that diversity of backgrounds and viewpoints is a key attribute for a director nominee. Accordingly, to improve director diversity and best serve our stockholders, the Compensation and Nominating Committee adopted a policy in 2019 to request that any search firm that it engages include women and minority candidates in the initial list from which the committee selects director candidates. The Compensation and Nominating Committee also will consider a combination of factors for each director, including whether the nominee possesses: -5- HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_024313
Table of Contents * the ability to represent all stockholders without a conflict of interest; * the ability to work in and promote a productive environment; * — sufficient time and willingness to fulfill the substantial duties and responsibilities of a director; ¢ the high level of character and integrity that we expect; * broad professional and leadership experience and skills necessary to effectively respond to the complex issues encountered by a national, publicly traded company; and ¢ the ability to apply sound and independent business judgment. The Compensation and Nominating Committee has determined that all of our directors meet the criteria and qualifications set forth in the code of conduct for the Board of Directors, the corporate governance guidelines and the criteria set forth above for director nominees. Moreover, each director possesses the following critical personal qualities and attributes that we believe are essential for the proper functioning of the Board to allow it to fulfill its duties for our stockholders: accountability, ethical leadership, governance, integrity, risk management, and sound business judgment. In addition, our directors have the mature confidence to assess and challenge the way things are done and recommend alternative solutions, a keen awareness of our business and the social realities of the environment in which we operate, the independence and high-performance standards necessary to fulfill the Board’s oversight function, and the humility, professional maturity, and style to interface openly and constructively with other directors. Finally, the director biographies below include a non-exclusive list of other key experiences and qualifications that further qualify the individual to serve on the Board. These collective qualities, skills, experiences, and attributes are essential to our Board’s ability to exercise its oversight function for Carvana and its stockholders and to guide the long-term sustainable, dependable performance of our business. Subject to any earlier resignation or removal in accordance with the terms of our certificate and bylaws, our Class II directors will serve until this our second annual meeting of stockholders, our Class III directors will serve until the third annual meeting of stockholders, and our Class I directors will serve until our fourth annual meeting of stockholders. In addition, our certificate provides that our directors may be removed with or without cause by the affirmative vote of at least a majority of the voting power of our outstanding shares of stock entitled to vote thereon, voting together as a single class, for so long as the Garcia Parties are entitled to ten votes for each share of Class B common stock they hold. If the Garcia Parties are no longer entitled to ten votes for each share of Class B common stock they hold, then our directors may be removed only for cause upon the affirmative vote of at least 66 2/3 % of the voting power of our outstanding shares of stock entitled to vote thereon. 264 HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_024314
Table of Contents The Compensation and Nominating Committee will consider stockholder nominations for membership on the Board. For the 2020 Annual Meeting, nominations may be submitted to Carvana Co., 1930 W. Rio Salado Pkwy, Tempe, AZ 85281, Attn: Secretary, who will forward them to the Chairman of the Compensation and Nominating Committee. Recommendations must be in writing and we must receive the recommendation no later than the close of business on January 24, 2020, and not earlier than the close of business on December 25, 2019. Recommendations must also include certain other requirements specified in our bylaws. The committee will apply the same criteria to the evaluation of those candidates as it applies to other director candidates. When filling a vacancy on the Board, the Compensation and Nominating Committee identifies the desired skills and experience of a new director and nominates individuals who it believes can strengthen the Board’s capabilities and further diversify the collective experience represented by the then-current directors. The Compensation and Nominating Committee may engage third parties to assist in the search and provide recommendations. Pursuant to a previously informal policy formally adopted in 2019, any search firm that the committee engages is requested to include women and minority candidates in the initial list from which the committee selects director candidates. Also, directors are generally asked to recommend candidates for the position. The candidates would be evaluated based on the process outlined in the Corporate Governance Guidelines and the Compensation and Nominating Committee charter, and the same process would be used for all candidates, including candidates recommended by stockholders. -7- HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_024315
Table of Contents ITEM 1—ELECTION OF DIRECTORS Our Board recommends that the nominees below be elected as members of the Board at the annual meeting to serve for a three-year term expiring at the 2022 Annual Meeting. DIRECTOR NAME AGE SINCE POSITION Gregory Sullivan 60 2017 Director Dan Quayle 72 2017 Director Each nominee was recommended for re-election by the Compensation and Nominating Committee for consideration by the Board and proposal to our stockholders. If, before the annual meeting, any nominee becomes unable to serve, or chooses not to serve, the Board may (i) nominate a substitute (i1) allow the vacancy to remain until the Board identifies an appropriate candidate or (iii) reduce the size of the board to eliminate the vacancy. If the Board chooses to nominate a substitute nominee, the persons named as proxies on the proxy card will vote for that substitute nominee. The Board of Directors recommends that you vote “FOR” each of the director nominees. DIRECTOR NOMINEES Dan Quayle has served on our Board since the completion of our initial public offering (“IPO”) in 2017. Mr. Quayle has served the United States Federal Government in various capacities: congressman, senator, and as the 44th vice president of the United States of America from 1989 to 1993. Since 1999, Mr. Quayle has been with Cerberus Capital, a New York private investment firm. He has served as chairman of Cerberus Global Investments since 2001. Mr. Quayle earned a B.A. degree in political science from DePauw University and a J.D. from the Indiana University Robert H. McKinney School of Law. We believe Mr. Quayle is qualified to continue to serve on our Board because of his experience as the chairman of Cerberus Global Investments, LLC, as well as his extensive experience in the areas of government, foreign relations, and private investment. Gregory Sullivan has served on our Board since the completion of our IPO. Mr. Sullivan is the co-founder and chief executive officer of AFAR Media, a travel media company he co-founded in 2007. From 1995 to 2007, Mr. Sullivan served the DriveTime Automotive Group, Inc. (‘DriveTime”) in various capacities, including as president from 1995 to 2004, chief executive officer from 1999 to 2004, and vice chairman from 2004 to 2007. Mr. Sullivan earned a B.B.A. degree in finance from the University of Notre Dame and a J.D. from the University of Virginia School of Law. We believe that Mr. Sullivan is qualified to continue to serve on our Board because of his senior management experience in the automotive and media industries. -8- HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_024316
Table of Contents CONTINUING DIRECTORS Ernest Garcia II co-founded Carvana and has served as our president and chief executive officer since our inception in 2012. Mr. Garcia is also Chairman of the Carvana Co. Board. Prior to founding Carvana, Mr. Garcia held various roles at DriveTime from January 2007 to January 2013. From January 2007 to December 2008, he served as a financial strategist. He was a managing director of corporate finance from December 2008 to November 2009. From November 2009 until January 2013, he served as a vice president and treasurer and director of quantitative analytics. As director of quantitative analytics, Mr. Garcia was responsible for the firm’s ongoing development of consumer credit scoring models, and its utilization of those tools in retail- vehicle-sales deal structuring and vehicle-price optimization. Prior to DriveTime, Mr. Garcia was an associate in the Principal Transactions Group at RBS Greenwich Capital from 2005 to 2006, where he focused on consumer-credit-based investments. Mr. Garcia holds a B.S. in management science and engineering from Stanford University. We believe that Mr. Garcia is qualified to continue to serve on our Board because of his extensive knowledge of our business and strategy, as well as his experience in the automotive retail industry and leadership role with us. Ira Platt has served on our Board since the completion of our IPO in 2017. Mr. Platt has been the president of Georgiana Ventures, LLC, a firm that provides equity and debt capital to specialty finance companies, acquires portfolios of consumer finance receivables and offers consulting services to the specialty finance industry, since its inception in 2009. From May 2009 to December 2013, Mr. Platt served as the president of 221 Capital Partners, LLC, a firm that provides advisory services. From 2009 to 2011, Mr. Platt was the portfolio manager for the Rosemont TALF Opportunity Fund, a partnership investing in asset-backed securities. In addition, Mr. Platt was a managing director and head of the Principal & Distressed Capital Business for RBS Greenwich Capital, the domestic fixed-income banking unit of the Royal Bank of Scotland Group, from 1997 to 2009. Mr. Platt was an executive vice president of the Aegis Consumer Funding Group, a publicly traded non-prime automotive finance company, from 1991 to 1997. Mr. Platt earned a B.A. degree in 1985 from Emory University and an M.B.A. from The Fuqua School of Business at Duke University. Mr. Platt served on DriveTime’s board of directors from February 2014 until April 2017. We believe that Mr. Platt will continue to be a valuable member of our Board because of his service on DriveTime’s board and his extensive experience in consumer finance and the automotive retail industry. Michael Maroone has served on our Board since the completion of our IPO. Mr. Maroone is currently the CEO of Maroone U.S.A. LLC. From July 2005 to April 2015, Mr. Maroone served on the board of AutoNation, Inc., an automotive retailer and provider of new and used vehicles and related services. From August 1999 until his retirement in February 2015, Mr. Maroone also served as president and chief operating officer of AutoNation, Inc. Prior to joining AutoNation, Inc., Mr. Maroone was president and chief executive officer of the Maroone Automotive Group, a privately held automotive retail group, from 1977 to 1997. Mr. Maroone currently serves on three other boards: as a member of the board of Cox Automotive, Inc., a privately held combination of global automotive wholesale and services businesses including automotive auctions, financial services, media, and software; as chairman of the -9- HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_024317
Table of Contents board of Cleveland Clinic Florida, a non-profit, multispecialty academic hospital; and as a member of the board of the Cleveland Clinic. Mr. Maroone previously served on the Cleveland Clinic Board of Trustees and was co-chairman of the Florida Leadership Board of the Cleveland Clinic. He holds a B.S. degree in small business management from the University of Colorado Boulder. Mr. Maroone was selected to serve on our Board because of his advisory experience and his extensive experience in the automotive retail industry INDEPENDENCE STATUS The listing standards of the New York Stock Exchange require that, subject to specified exceptions, each member of a listed company’s audit committee, and compensation committee, and nominating committee be independent and that audit committee members also satisfy independence criteria set forth in Rule 10A-3 under the Exchange Act. Our Board has determined that each of our non-employee directors, including our director nominees Dan Quayle and Gregory Sullivan, meets the requirements to be an independent director. In making this determination, our Board considered the relationships that each non-employee director has with Carvana and all other facts and circumstances that our Board deemed relevant in determining their independence, including beneficial ownership of our Class A common stock. CONTROLLED COMPANY STATUS For purposes of the corporate governance rules of the NYSE, we are a “controlled company.” Controlled companies under those rules are companies of which more than 50% of the voting power for the election of directors is held by an individual, a group, or another company. The Garcia Parties beneficially own more than 50% of the combined voting power of Carvana Co. Accordingly, we expect to be eligible for, but do not currently intend to take advantage of, certain exemptions from the corporate governance requirements of the NYSE. Specifically, as a “controlled company,” we would not be required to have: * amajority of independent directors, * anominating and corporate governance committee composed entirely of independent directors with a written charter addressing the committee’s purpose and responsibilities, * acompensation committee composed entirely of independent directors with a written charter addressing the committee’s purpose and responsibilities, or * an annual performance evaluation of the nominating and governance and compensation committees. -10- HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_024318
Table of Contents In the event we choose to rely on some or all of these exemptions in the future, you would not have the same protections afforded to stockholders of companies that are subject to all of the applicable corporate governance rules of the NYSE. BOARD MEETINGS AND COMMITTEES During the year ended December 31, 2018, our Board held five meetings, our Audit Committee held nine meetings, and our Compensation and Nominating Committee held four meetings. Directors are expected to attend the annual meeting of stockholders and all or substantially all of the Board meetings and meetings of committees on which they serve, and to spend the time needed and meet as frequently as necessary to properly discharge their responsibilities. Each director attended last year’s annual meeting, 100% of the meetings of the Board during such director’s tenure, and 100% of the meetings held by the committees of the Board on which the director served. Our Board has an Audit Committee and a Compensation and Nominating Committee. The composition, duties and responsibilities of these committees are as set forth below. In the future, our board may establish other committees, as it deems appropriate, to assist it with its responsibilities. COMPENSATION AND AUDIT NOMINATING BOARD MEMBER COMMITTEE COMMITTEE Ira Platt . . Gregory Sullivan . .

Table of Contents BOARD LEADERSHIP STRUCTURE The following section describes our board leadership structure, the reasons why the structure is in place at this time, the roles of various positions, and related key governance practices. The mix of experienced independent and management directors that make up our Board, along with the independent role of our lead director and our independent board-committee composition, benefits Carvana and its stockholders. INDEPENDENCE; BOARD MIX Our Board has an effective mix of independent and management directors. It is composed of four independent directors and our current chairman and chief executive officer, Ernest Garcia III. LEAD DIRECTOR The Board believes that it is beneficial to Carvana and its stockholders to designate one of the directors as a lead director who is elected by a majority of the Board. The lead director serves a variety of roles, including reviewing and approving Board schedules to confirm the appropriate board and committee topics are reviewed and sufficient time is allocated to each; liaising between our chairman and chief executive officer and non-management directors when necessary and appropriate (that said, each director has direct and regular access to the chairman and chief executive officer) and calling an executive session of independent directors at any time consistent with the bylaws and certificate of incorporation. Michael Maroone, an independent director and member of our Audit Committee, is currently our lead director. Mr. Maroone is an effective lead director for Carvana due to, among other things, his independence, his board leadership experience with AutoNation, Inc., his strong strategic and financial acumen, his commitment to ethics, his extensive knowledge of the automotive retail environment, and his deep understanding of Carvana and its business. CHAIRMAN / CEO With respect to the roles of chairman and CEO, the corporate governance guidelines provide that the roles may be separated or combined, and the Board will exercise its discretion in combining or separating these positions as it deems appropriate in light of prevailing circumstances. Mr. Garcia has been our chairman and CEO since our IPO. The Board believes that combining the roles of chairman and CEO, together with the separate, independent role of our lead director, is currently the most effective leadership structure because Mr. Garcia has extensive knowledge and experience in a variety of relevant areas acquired through his professional and other experiences, including automotive retail, e-commerce, consumer finance and strategic planning. This knowledge and experience give Mr. Garcia the insight necessary to combine the responsibilities of strategic development and execution along with management of day-to-day operations. -13- HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_024321
Table of Contents SELF-EVALUATION Our Compensation and Nominating Committee conducts an annual performance evaluation to determine whether the Board, its committees, and the directors are functioning effectively. This includes survey materials as well as conversations between each director and the lead director. The evaluation focuses on the Board’s and the committees’ contributions to Carvana and has an enhanced focus on areas in which the Board or management believes that the Board could improve. As part of the annual Board self-evaluation, the Board evaluates whether the current leadership structure continues to be appropriate for Carvana and its stockholders. Our corporate governance guidelines provide the flexibility for our Board to modify our leadership structure in the future as appropriate. SECTION 16(A) BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP REPORTING COMPLIANCE. Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act requires our directors, executive officers and greater-than-ten-percent stockholders to file initial reports of ownership and reports of changes in ownership of any of our securities with the SEC and us. We believe that during the 2018 fiscal year, all of our directors, executive officers and greater-than-ten-percent stockholders complied with the requirements of Section 1 6(a). RISK OVERSIGHT The Board, as a whole and through the Audit Committee, oversees our risk management program, which is designed to identify, evaluate, and respond to our high priority risks and opportunities. The risk management program facilitates constructive dialog at the senior management and board level to proactively realize opportunities and manage risks. Our Audit Committee is primarily responsible for overseeing our risk management processes on behalf of the full board. Our management, including our executive officers, is primarily responsible for managing the risks associated with the operation and business of our company and provides regular updates to the Audit Committee and annual updates to the full board on the risk management program and reports on the identified high priority risks and opportunities. CODE OF ETHICS AND CONDUCT We have adopted a code of business conduct and ethics that applies to all of our employees, officers, and directors, including those officers responsible for financial reporting. Our code of business conduct and ethics is available on our website at investors.carvana.com/corporate- governance/governance-documents.

Carvana generally will not forward to the directors a communication that is primarily commercial in nature, relates to an improper or irrelevant topic, or requests general information regarding Carvana. DIRECTOR COMPENSATION Prior to our IPO, none of our directors received compensation as a director from us. We have designed our non-employee director compensation program to achieve the following objectives: * align directors’ interests with the long-term interests of our shareholders; * attract and retain outstanding director candidates with diverse backgrounds and experiences; and * recognize the substantial time commitment required to serve as a Carvana director. The Compensation and Nominating Committee reviews the Company’s director compensation program annually. Independent directors may not receive, directly or indirectly, any consulting, advisory or other compensatory fees from us. Members of the Board who are employees of Carvana do not receive compensation for their service on the Board.

We had another year of triple-digit growth in unit retails sold and revenue, while making significant progress in our gross profit per unit and EBITDA margin. Our growth has few historical precedents and makes us one of the fastest-growing technology, consumer, or retail companies at our scale. The highlights of our 2018 performance include: * 113% increase in retail units sold, from 44,252 to 94,108; * 128% revenue growth, from $859 million to $1.96 billion; -19- HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_024327

We accomplish this by linking a significant portion of the compensation of our executive officers, including our named executive officers, to our performance. In addition, the Compensation and Nomination Committee seeks to set challenging threshold and target performance levels that reflect our rapid growth trajectory and business plans rather than goals based on prior years’ achievements. For each of the metrics used in our performance-based compensation plans, payouts are eared based upon outstanding performance as measured against pre-established financial objectives. CORPORATE GOVERNANCE HIGHLIGHTS REGARDING EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION We endeavor to maintain sound executive compensation policies and practices, including compensation-related corporate governance standards, consistent with our executive compensation philosophy. The following summarizes our executive compensation and related governance policies and practices: =2] - HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_024329

We will continue to utilize rigorous governance processes to monitor and evaluate the compensation programs as well as implement best practices in compensation governance. We welcome shareholder feedback on our programs. COMPENSATION OBJECTIVES AND PRINCIPLES Carvana seeks to create and maintain a culture of teamwork and high performance. Our executive compensation programs are one of the tools we utilize to accomplish this objective. Philosophically, we aim to treat our executives fairly when considering: * the complexity of their jobs, ¢ the market for their executive talent, ¢ their individual performance, * the financial and strategic performance of the company, and ¢ the need to retain the executives. Within that framework, it is critical that we meet our objectives to: * attract and retain the best executive talent to support our growth, * align the interests of our executives with those of our shareholders, and * provide incentives that are linked directly to our long- and short-term strategy. We set very challenging goals as our incentive compensation metrics and we expect that our executives will in aggregate be paid approximately at the median for achieving those goals through the plans outlined in this CD&A. As evidenced by our track record of growth and strategic progress, our approach to executive compensation has been effective. 22 - HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_024330
Table of Contents COMPENSATION SETTING PROCESS ROLE OF COMPENSATION AND NOMINATING COMMITTEE AND CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER IN SETTING EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION The Compensation and Nominating Committee has responsibility for overseeing the design, development, and implementation of the compensation program for our chief executive officer and other NEOs. The committee evaluates the performance of our chief executive officer and the performance of the other executive officers. Our chief executive officer assists the committee in evaluating the performance of our other executive officers, including the named executive officers other than the chief executive officer. Our chief executive officer does not participate in portions of committee meetings or meetings of the Board when his compensation is discussed and determined, and has requested that his total compensation be set significantly below the market median due to his significant ownership interest in our company Based on these assessments, the members of the Compensation and Nominating Committee, each of whom is an independent director, make the final compensation decisions for the NEOs other than the CEO, and make recommendations to the Board for the CEO’s compensation. The Board makes the final decision for the CEO’s compensation. INDEPENDENT COMPENSATION ADVISOR Our Compensation and Nominating Committee believes that independent advice is important in developing Carvana’s executive compensation programs. Since September 2017, the committee has engaged Korn Ferry as its independent compensation consultant to advise on executive compensation matters. All work performed by the independent compensation consultant regarding our executive compensation program is tasked and overseen directly by the committee. Our management provides information and analyses to the committee at the committee’s direction. In addition to advising on our executive compensation program, Korn Ferry, at the request of and in service to the committee, provided certain other compensation advisory services for 2018 compensation, including assistance with establishing a compensation peer group, benchmarking aggregate broad-based equity usage (including run-rate and total dilution), benchmarking director compensation, benchmarking non-executive employee compensation in certain job families within our company, and developing the narrative disclosure in this Compensation Discussion and Analysis. Our Compensation and Nominating Committee paid Korn Ferry $103,000 for their 2018 services. Korn Ferry does not provide any other material services to Carvana Co. The committee has assessed the independence of Korn Ferry pursuant to the NYSE rules and concluded that Korn Ferry’s work for the committee did not raise any conflicts of interest. 393 = HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_024331
Table of Contents COMPETITIVENESS OF OUR COMPENSATION PROGRAM Our executive compensation program is designed so that the sum of base pay plus total short- and long-term compensation is competitive with market practices. Market practices—or benchmarks—are based on peer-group data and compensation survey data. The past year, 2018, was our first year of developing a compensation peer group. Many of our direct industry competitors are either privately held companies or are larger than us in revenue size, although very few have our growth trajectory. The Compensation and Nominating Committee, with the assistance of its compensation consultant, Korn Ferry, reviewed and selected potential peer companies based on revenue size, industry focus, growth rates, complexity of operations, customer base, and market for talent. With the assistance of its compensation consultant, the committee approved the following compensation peer group in order to determine market pay levels and pay practices for fiscal year 2018: ¢ — 1-800-Flowers.com, Inc. * Overstock.com, Inc. ¢ America’s Car-Mart, Inc. * RH * Cars.com Inc. * Sleep Number Corporation * Etsy, Inc. ¢ TrueCar, Inc. * Grubhub, Inc. * U.S. Auto Parts Network, Inc. * MarineMax, Inc. ¢ Wayfair Inc. * Monro, Inc. * Zillow Group, Inc. Going forward, the Compensation and Nominating Committee expects to review our compensation peer group on an annual basis for continued appropriateness, considering changes in both our size and business and the businesses of the companies in the peer group. The committee also uses compensation survey data in its evaluation of executive pay for the NEOs. Survey data provides insight into positions that may not generally be reported in proxy statements and information about the compensation of executives of non-public companies. To assist the committee in evaluating fiscal year 2018 compensation levels, the committee reviewed both peer-group proxy data and information from survey databases, utilizing appropriate subsets based on the size of the company. COMPENSATION COMPONENTS In accordance with our overall compensation philosophy and program, executives are provided with a mix of base salary, short-term incentives, long-term incentives and employee benefits. Our compensation philosophy places a significant portion of the potential total compensation for each NEO “at risk” such that compensation will vary based on performance of Carvana. Variable compensation is a component of compensation for most of our employees, but a higher proportion of our NEOs’ compensation is at risk than that of our general employee population. As shown in the pay mix chart below, our compensation program is designed to be highly performance-based with approximately 80% of each of our NEO’s compensation tied to our financial performance and stock price performance. -24- HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_024332

Table of Contents BASE SALARY The base salaries for the named executive officers are reviewed annually by the Compensation and Nominating Committee. Individual salaries are determined based upon a combination of factors, including the scope of responsibilities, individual performance and experience, our company’s performance, an individual’s potential for making contributions to future company performance, and competitive pay practices. The committee considers all these factors in determining base salary increases and does not assign a specific weighting to any individual factor. In February 2018, the Compensation and Nominating Committee reviewed the base salaries of our executive officers, including our named executive officers, taking into consideration the factors described above. Following this review, the committee determined to maintain the base salary of our CEO at its 2017 level and to increase the base salaries of the other four named executive officers to maintain the competitiveness of this compensation element. All of the NEOs’ 2018 base salaries were approximately at or below the market median as determined by the compensation consultant. Ernest Garcia III, our chief executive officer, had a base salary of $400,000 for both 2017 and 2018, with no increase. Mark Jenkins, our chief financial officer, had a 2017 base salary of $350,000 and a 2018 base salary of $375,000, an increase of 7.1%. Benjamin Huston, our chief operating officer, had a 2017 base salary of $350,000 and a 2018 base salary of $375,000, an increase of 7.1%. Ryan Keeton, our chief brand officer, had a 2017 base salary of $315,000 and a 2018 base salary of $330,000, an increase of 4.8%. Daniel Gill, our chief product officer, had a 2017 base salary of $315,000 and a 2018 base salary of $330,000, an increase of 4.8%. 2018 ANNUAL INCENTIVE PLAN Our annual incentive plan was designed to align our executive officers’ incentives with our company goals and, therefore, to be aligned with the interests of our shareholders. The Compensation and Nominating Committee approves which executives are eligible to participate (other than the CEO) and the level of potential awards, identifies appropriate performance measures, and determines the financial targets of each measure. The CEO makes recommendations as to these matters, but the Compensation and Nominating Committee makes all decisions with respect to the implementation of the annual incentive plan. For the CEO’s annual incentive plan, the Compensation and Nominating Committee makes a recommendation, with the Board making the final decision. In establishing performance goals, the committee and the Board as a whole review industry and market conditions, alignment of the goals with our strategy, projected general economic conditions, and both our past and forecasted performance levels. Target Bonuses and Payout Ranges For the 2018 annual incentive plan, the committee established a target bonus at 66.7% of base salary for each of the NEOs, with a payout range of 0%—133% of base salary. Utilizing the same bonus target for all the NEOs promotes a culture of teamwork among the senior executives and encourages their entrepreneurial spirit. As a result, the CEO’s target 2018 total cash, including both base salary and target annual incentive plan amount, is below the market 25 th percentile of our compensation peer group. -26- HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_024334
Table of Contents The resulting payout range for Mr. Garcia, our chief executive officer, is $0-$530,667, with a target of $266,667. For both Mr. Jenkins, our chief financial officer, and Mr. Huston, our chief operating officer, the payout range is $0-$497,500, with a target of $250,000. For both Mr. Keeton, our chief brand officer, and Mr. Gill, our chief product officer, the payout range is $0-$437,800, with a target bonus of $220,000. Performance Metrics and Goals The performance period for the annual incentive is our fiscal year. The committee selected retail units sold, gross profit per unit ex-Gift, and EBITDA margin ex-Gift as the performance metrics for our 2018 annual incentive plan because these are the primary metrics we use in evaluating our own performance when communicating our financial results to our investors. The committee believes that these performance measures help focus the executives on growing retail units sold and revenue, increasing total gross profit per unit, and demonstrating operating leverage. The detailed definition of each measure and rationale of selection are provided below: PERFORMANCE METRICS USED IN THE 2018 AIP WEIGHT DEFINITION RATIONALE OF SELECTION Retail Units Sold 40% The number of vehicles We view retail units sold as a key measure of our growth for several reasons. sold to customers in a First, retail units sold is the primary driver of our revenues and, indirectly, gross given period, net of profit, since retail unit sales enable multiple complementary revenue streams, returns under our including financing, VSCs, GAP waiver coverage, and trade-ins.

At the beginning of 2018, the committee established financial performance goals that were challenging and reflective of Carvana’s fiscal 2018 operating plan, economic and market conditions, and forecasts at the time the performance goals were established. The target performance goal of each metric is significantly above fiscal 2017’s actual results: over 92,000 retail units sold, a 108% increase over fiscal year 2017’s retail units sold of 44,252; over $2,100 for gross profit per unit ex-Gift, a $561 increase over fiscal year 2017’s gross profit per unit ex-Gift of $1,539; and EBITDA margin ex-Gift of less than (7.2)%, a 9.7 percentage point improvement over fiscal year 2017’s EBTIDA margin ex-Gift of (16.9)%. Total Payouts Based on the committee’s evaluation of our 2018 actual performance against the annual incentive plan goals, 88% of the target annual bonuses were paid out, amounting to 59% of the NEOs’ respective base salaries. The annual incentive bonus received by each of the NEOs is included in the “Non-Equity Performance Incentive Plan Compensation” column in the 2018 Summary Compensation Table in this proxy statement. Each of the annual incentive metrics provided a payout range of 0%—199% as a percent of the target. For Retail Units Sold, weighted 40% of the total, the target was over 92,000, and our actual performance was 94,108, resulting in a payout of 118% of the target payout. For gross profit per unit ex- Gift, weighted 40% of the total, the target was over $2,100 and our actual performance was $2,133, resulting in a payout of 103% of the target. For EBITDA Margin ex-Gift, weighted 20% of the total, our target was less than (7.2)% and our actual performance was (9.9)%, resulting in no payout. Aggregating each of the respective payouts, weighted accordingly, resulted in a total payout of 88% of target. Applying the payout of 88% of target to each of our NEOs respective target bonuses, Mr. Garcia achieved a $235,733 payout amount; Messrs. Jenkins and Huston achieved a payout of $221,000 each, and Messrs. Keeton and Gill achieved a payout of $194,480 each. LONG-TERM INCENTIVE PROGRAM The Compensation and Nominating Committee believes that stock-based performance compensation is essential to align the interests of Carvana’s management and its shareholders in enhancing the long-term value of our equity and to encourage executives to remain with the company. Among the varied types of equity awards the committee is authorized to use under the equity plan, stock options are the ones that the committee has determined are preferable for use with NEOs, because their - 28 - HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_024336
Table of Contents value is more leveraged to future value appreciation and depends upon a future increase in the value of our common stock. The committee also has determined that restricted stock unit grants to NEOs should be used for the purposes of retention or recognition of outstanding performance in part because restricted stock units are less volatile than stock options. 2018 Annual Grant For fiscal 2018, the Compensation and Nominating Committee determined to award an equal blend of time-based stock options and restricted stock units to provide a mix composed of awards whose value depends upon a future increase in the value of the common stock (time-based stock options) and awards that serve primarily as a retention tool (time-based restricted stock units). For the 2018 annual grant, the committee targeted a grant value equal to the amount of each executive’s base salary. The committee initially targeted the annual grant based on a 10-day average stock price as of April 2, 2018 ($21.61). Based on that price, Mr. Garcia would have received 15,988 options and 9,255 RSUs; Messrs. Jenkins and Huston would have received 14,989 options and 8,677 RSUs; and Messrs. Keeton and Gill would have received 13,190 options and 7,635 RSUs. However, the grants were not awarded until mid-July when the stock price had more than doubled ($44.21). To compensate the executives for the disadvantage of receiving stock options with a much higher exercise price, the Committee determined to grant additional RSUs. The grant value of the additional RSUs is equal to one-half of the in-the-money value difference between the options granted based on the March stock price and the options granted based on the July stock price, resulting in a total of 13,987 RSUs granted to Mr. Garcia, 13,113 to Messrs. Jenkins and Huston each, and 11,540 to Messrs. Keeton and Gill each. 2018 Special Performance-Contingent Grant For fiscal 2018, the Compensation and Nominating Committee and the Board also granted a one-time special performance-contingent RSU award for driving exceptional company performance to achieve an important milestone in the development of the business. The RSUs were granted on April 30, 2018, to the NEOs other than the CEO; the CEO received his award on May 1, 2018. Mr. Garcia was granted 14,572 RSUs ($393,298 grant value), Messrs. Jenkins and Huston 13,662 RSUs ($358,081 grant value), and Messrs. Keeton and Gill 12,022 RSUs ($315,097 grant value). All of these grants will vest 100% on the date of the first periodic report filed where positive quarterly EBITDA is reported. None of the RSUs were vested as of the end of 2018. 2018 100k Milestone Gift On September 10, 2018, we announced a commitment by our chief executive officer, Emest Garcia III (“Mr. Garcia”), to contribute 165 shares of Class A common stock to us from his personal shareholdings for every one of our then-existing employees, including the NEOs, upon their satisfying certain employment tenure requirements. In connection with these contributions, we have made corresponding grants of 165 restricted stock units under our 2017 Omnibus Incentive Plan to each employee who has satisfied the requirements and we intend to make grants to the remaining then-existing employees as they satisfy the requirements (the “100k Milestone Gift” or “Gift’). Messrs. Jenkins, Huston, Keeton, and Gill all received the grant in 2018, which had a grant date fair value of $10,562. -29- HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_024337
Table of Contents PERQUISITES AND BENEFITS Currently, we do not view perquisites or other personal benefits as a significant component of our executive compensation program. Accordingly, we did not provide perquisites to our executive officers in 2018, including our named executive officers, except that each of the NEOs, along with certain other employees, can use one of the company inventory vehicles (which generally will be replaced every three years); each, along with many of our employees, may use a company-provided cellular phone; and each, along with all of our employees, may participate in our 401(k) match benefit which is based on salary. We do not expect that any future perquisites or other personal benefits will be a significant aspect of our executive compensation program. All future practices with respect to perquisites or other personal benefits will be approved and subject to periodic review by the Compensation and Nominating Committee. TERMINATION, SEVERANCE AND CHANGE IN CONTROL BENEFITS We do not have employment or severance agreements with our executives. In the event of a change in control of Carvana Group, all outstanding unvested Class B Unit awards held by participants in the Carvana Group equity incentive plan, whose employment has not previously terminated, will accelerate in full, subject to certain escrow demand rights held by a purchaser of control of Carvana Group. If an executive is terminated involuntarily without cause within twenty-four months following a change in control as defined by our 2018 equity award agreements, all outstanding vested stock options and time-based RSUs of that executive will become fully exercisable or vested. An executive whose employment is terminated because of death or disability will receive one year from the time of termination to exercise any then-vested options instead of the usual 90 days, but not past the expiration date of the options. If a person’s employment is terminated for disability, and that person later dies within a year, the legal representative of the person’s estate may exercise the options within one year of the date of death, though not past the expiration date of the options. If a change in control occurs before the performance-contingent RSUs are vested, outstanding shares will vest in a proportionate number based on the company’s progress toward positive EBITDA, starting from the EBITDA loss baseline as of the end of the calendar quarter immediately preceding the award (-$41.5 million) to the EBITDA as of the end of the calendar quarter immediately preceding the date of the closing of the change in control. Except for these arrangements, none of our named executive officers have entered into any plans, arrangements or agreements with Carvana providing for payments upon termination of employment or change in control of Carvana, other than payments generally available to all salaried employees that do not discriminate in scope, terms, or operation in favor of the executive officers of Carvana. - 30- HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_024338
Table of Contents COMPENSATION-RELATED POLICIES COMPENSATION RECOVERY (“CLAWBACK”) POLICY In 2018, the Compensation and Nominating Committee approved the adoption of a “clawback” policy, which would provide for the clawback or recoupment of any compensation granted, earned, or vested that is tied to performance metrics, in the event of an accounting restatement resulting from material noncompliance with certain financial reporting requirements that reveals that such performance (or level of performance) was not achieved. POLICY REGARDING HEDGING AND PLEDGING OF COMPANY STOCK Carvana’s insider trading policy prohibits all employees from buying or selling Carvana securities while aware of material nonpublic information and prohibits the disclosure of material nonpublic information to others who then trade in our securities. As part of this policy, certain other Carvana-securities-related transactions by directors, officers and other employees are also prohibited or subject to specific notice and pre-approval requirements. The policy is premised on the belief that even in those circumstances where the proposed transaction may not constitute a violation of law or applicable regulations, it is nonetheless inappropriate for any director, officer, or other employee to engage in short-term or speculative transactions in our securities which may be viewed as reducing their incentive to improve our performance or inconsistent with the objectives of our stockholders in general. Therefore, it is our policy that directors, officers, and other employees may not engage in any transactions involving our securities which constitute short sales, puts, calls, or other similar derivative securities. The policy also prohibits certain other transactions, including hedging or monetization transactions— e.g., zero-cost collars, forward sale contracts, and arrangements pledging company securities as collateral for a loan (without adequate assurance of other available assets to satisfy the loan). COMPENSATION AND RISK We believe that our compensation programs create appropriate incentives to drive sustained, long-term increases in shareholder value. These programs have been designed and administered in a manner that discourages undue risk-taking by employees. Relevant features of these programs include: * Focus on weighting compensation toward four-year and greater vesting schedules of equity awards; -31- HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_024339
Table of Contents * individual executive pay generally targeted at median level against comparable executive roles at an appropriate set of peer companies, except the chief executive officer, for whom we target significantly below median level due to his significant ownership interest in us; * robust clawback policies permitting the recoupment of past incentive pay from executive officers in the event of certain kinds of misconduct, and forfeiture of incentive awards in the event the executive engages in various types of conduct deemed detrimental to Carvana’s interests, including theft or fraud against Carvana and engaging in competition with Carvana; * no employment agreements with executive officers; * the use of retail units sold, gross profit per unit ex-Gift and EBITDA margin ex-Gift as performance metrics, which incents employees to increase earnings and manage net assets efficiently; * restrictions on trading in Carvana Class A common stock to reduce insider trading compliance risk, as well as prohibitions on pledging and hedging Carvana capital stock. In light of these features, we conclude that the risks arising from our executive and employee compensation policies and practices are not reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on the company. TAX AND ACCOUNTING IMPLICATIONS Carvana considers the tax and accounting aspects of the elements of compensation we offer in determining the most effective method for compensating our executives. This includes, but is not limited to, Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code and the regulations thereunder. Section 162(m) generally limits the tax deduction available to public companies for annual compensation paid to the chief executive officer and certain other named executive officers in excess of $1 million. As a result of 2017 tax legislation, compensation paid in a fiscal year in excess of $1 million to, or on behalf of, an individual who is a “covered employee” is not expected to be deductible under Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code, unless such compensation qualifies for transition relief (relating to written binding contracts in effect on November 2, 2017, which were not subsequently materially modified). Therefore, certain compensation paid under our existing equity plans and certain of our long-term equity awards originally designed with the intent that such amounts qualify as “performance-based” compensation may not be deductible in the future. Although the committee may consider the effect that Section 162(m) and the potential lack of deduction for amounts paid in excess of the deduction limit may have on Carvana, the committee continues to retain flexibility to make compensation decisions, in the exercise of its business judgment, that are based on factors that it determines to be appropriate (as determined by the committee in its sole discretion) to enable Carvana to continue to attract, retain, reward, and motivate its highly-qualified executives. This flexibility may include amending or modifying the design elements of our historical compensation programs. =~ 33 = HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_024340

See “Certain Relationships and Related Party Transactions — Relationship with DriveTime — Aircraft Time Sharing Agreement.” The incremental cost to Carvana of aircraft used under the aircraft time sharing agreement for a non-business flight is calculated by multiplying the aircraft’s per-mile variable operating cost by a flight’s total mileage, which includes the mileage of an empty return flight. Variable operating costs include: (1) landing, parking, passenger ground transportation, crew travel, and flight planning services expenses; (2) supplies, catering, and crew traveling expenses; (3) aircraft fuel and oil expenses; (4) maintenance, parts, and external labor (inspections and repairs); and (5) any customs, foreign permit, and similar fees. Fixed costs that do not vary based upon usage are not included in the calculation of direct operating cost. On certain occasions, a named executive officer or a named executive officer’s spouse or other family member may fly on the corporate aircraft as additional passengers. No additional direct operating cost is incurred in such situations under the foregoing methodology because the costs would not be incremental. Carvana does not pay its named executive officers any amounts in respect of taxes (so-called gross-up payments) on income imputed to them for non-business aircraft usage. (iii) The incremental cost of the company car to us has been calculated based on the depreciation value of the vehicle. (iv) Represents the cost of company-paid cell phone service.

The performance-contingent RSUs would also vest on a change of control, but in proportion to the progress made toward positive EBITDA. None of the performance-contingent restricted stock units would be subject to accelerated vesting as of December 31, 2018, because EBITDA as of that date had not progressed beyond the baseline. Amounts in this column represent the market value as of December 31, 2018, of all outstanding time-based RSUs, which would become fully vested if the executive is involuntarily terminated without cause within 24 months of a change of control of Carvana Co. In that event, outstanding unvested stock options would also become fully vested and exercisable, but as of December 31, 2018, the price of Carvana’s Class A common stock did not exceed the strike price of those unvested options. - 38 - HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_024347
Table of Contents CEO PAY RATIO The 2018 annual total compensation of our median-compensated employee other than Mr. Garcia was $36,204.

CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS POLICIES FOR APPROVAL OF RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS We have adopted a written policy with respect to the review, approval, and ratification of related party transactions. Under the policy, our Audit Committee is responsible for reviewing and approving related party transactions. In the course of its review and approval of related party transactions, our Audit Committee will consider the relevant facts and circumstances to decide whether to approve such transactions. In particular, our policy requires our Audit Committee to consider, among other factors it deems appropriate: . the related person’s relationship to us and interest in the transaction, . the material facts of the proposed transaction, including the proposed aggregate value of the transaction, ° the impact on a director’s independence in the event the related person is a director or an immediate family member of the director, . the benefits to us of the proposed transaction, . if applicable, the availability of other sources of comparable products or services, and . an assessment of whether the proposed transaction is on terms that are comparable to the terms available to an unrelated third party or to employees generally. The Audit Committee may only approve those transactions that are in or are not inconsistent with our best interests and those of our stockholders, as the Audit Committee determines in good faith. AMENDED AND R ESTATED OPERATING AGREEMENT In connection with the organizational transactions we effected in connection with our IPO, we amended and restated Carvana Group’s existing operating agreement, which we refer to as the “LLC Operating Agreement.” In addition, on March 2, 2018, Carvana Group signed an amendment of its LLC Agreement to, among other things, create a class of convertible preferred units. The convertible preferred units were created in connection with the December 5, 2017, issuance and sale of 100,000 shares of convertible preferred stock of Carvana Co. The amendment was effective December 5, 2017. As of December 31, 2018, the 100,000 shares of convertible preferred stock had all been converted into shares of Class A common stock and are no longer outstanding. -39- HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_024348
Table of Contents In connection with the issuance of our senior notes (see Carvana’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for 2018, page 66-67), Carvana Group amended its LLC agreement to create a class of non-convertible preferred units, which Carvana Co. purchased with its net proceeds from the issuance of these senior notes. The operations of Carvana Group, and the rights and obligations of the holders of our LLC Units (who we refer to as “LLC Unitholders”), are set forth in the LLC Operating Agreement. EXCHANGE AGREEMENT On April 27, 2017, we entered into an exchange agreement with Carvana Co. Sub LLC (our wholly owned subsidiary) and the LLC Unitholders. Under the exchange agreement, LLC Unitholders (and certain permitted transferees thereof) may exchange at any time their LLC Units for either shares of our Class A common stock or for cash, whichever we decide. To the extent LLC Unitholders also hold Class B common stock, they will be required to deliver to us the same number of shares of Class B common stock as Class A common stock being exchanged for. We will then cancel those shares of Class B common stock. As LLC Unitholders exchange their interest in Carvana Group, our indirect interest in Carvana Group will increase correspondingly. When an LLC Unitholder makes an exchange, they will receive four shares of Class A common stock for every five Class A Units or, at our option, cash equal to the value of a share of Class A common stock multiplied by 0.8 times the number of Class A Units being exchanged. The value of the Class A common stock is determined by the average of the volume-weighted average prices for a share of Class A common stock for each of the three consecutive full trading days ending on and including the last full trading day immediately prior to the related date of exchange. Class B Units are subject to vesting and a participation threshold, and, as a result, LLC Unitholders exchanging Class B Units will receive a number of shares of Class A common stock equal to the Class A common stock value (determined the same way as above) less the applicable participation threshold multiplied by 0.8 times the number of Class B Units being exchanged, divided by the same Class A common stock value, subject to adjustment as set forth in the Exchange Agreement. REGISTRATION RIGHTS AGREEMENT In connection with the IPO, we entered into a registration rights agreement with certain LLC unitholders. These LLC unitholders are entitled to request that we register their shares on a long-form or short-form registration statement on one or more occasions in the future, which registrations may be “shelf registrations.” All of these LLC unitholders will be entitled to participate in certain of our - 40 - HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_024349
Table of Contents registered offerings, subject to the restrictions in the registration rights agreement. We will pay expenses in connection with the exercise of these rights. The registration rights described in this paragraph apply to (1) shares of our Class A common stock held by certain LLC unitholders, and (2) any of our capital stock (or that of our subsidiaries) issued or issuable with respect to the Class A common stock described in clause (1) with respect to any dividend, stock split, recapitalization, reorganization, or certain other corporate transactions (“Registrable Securities”). These registration rights are also for the benefit of any subsequent holder of Registrable Securities, provided that any particular securities will cease to be Registrable Securities when they have been sold ina registered public offering, sold in compliance with Rule 144 of the Securities Act or repurchased by us or our subsidiaries. In addition, any Registrable Securities held by a person other than an LLC Unitholder and their affiliates will cease to be Registrable Securities if they can be sold without limitation under Rule 144 of the Securities Act. TAX REC EIVABLE AGREEMENT We have entered into a Tax Receivable Agreement with LLC Unitholders that will provide for the payment from time to time by us to such persons of 85% of the amount of the benefits, if any, that we realize or, under certain circumstances, are deemed to realize as a result of 1. the increase in our wholly owned subsidiary’s proportionate share of the existing tax basis of the assets of Carvana Group and an adjustment in the tax basis of the assets of Carvana Group reflected in that proportionate share as a result of any future exchanges of LLC Units held by an LLC Unitholder for shares of our Class A common stock or cash, and 2. certain other tax benefits related to our making payments under the Tax Receivable Agreement. We expect to benefit from the remaining 15% of any tax benefits that we actually realize and, except in connection with a change in control, we will not make any payments under the Tax Receivable Agreement until after we have directly or indirectly realized (or have been deemed to have realized) benefits in excess of such payments. These payment obligations are obligations of Carvana Co. and not of Carvana Group. No payments were made during the year ended December 31, 2018. INDEMNIFICA TION OF OFFICERS AND DIRECTORS We have entered into indemnification agreements with each of our officers and directors. The indemnification agreements provide the officers and directors with contractual rights to indemnification, expense advancement, and reimbursement, to the fullest extent permitted under Delaware law. Additionally, we may enter into indemnification agreements with any new directors or officers that may be broader in scope than the specific indemnification provisions contained in Delaware law. 2A s HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_024350
Table of Contents CONTRIBUTION AGREEMENTS On September 10, 2018, we announced a commitment by our chief executive officer, Emest Garcia III, to contribute shares of Carvana Co. Class A common stock from his personal shareholdings to Carvana at no charge, intended to fund equity awards of 165 restricted stock units (or roughly $10,000 at the time of the announcement) to each of our then-current employees upon their satisfying certain employment-tenure requirements. During the year ended December 31, 2018, Carvana and Mr. Garcia entered into contribution agreements pursuant to which Mr. Garcia contributed approximately 0.2 million shares of Carvana Co. Class A common stock to Carvana, at no charge. We subsequently granted approximately 0.2 million restricted stock units. Although we do not expect Mr. Garcia to incur any tax obligations related to these contributions, we have indemnified Mr. Garcia from any such obligations that may arise. RELATIONSHIP WITH DRIVETIME Prior to November 1, 2014, Carvana, LLC was a wholly owned subsidiary of DriveTime. On November 1, 2014, DriveTime distributed the units of Carvana, LLC to the unit holders of DriveTime on a pro rata basis, which we refer to as the “Spinoff.” DriveTime is controlled by our controlling stockholder, Ernest Garcia II, who is also the father of our Chief Executive Officer, Emest Garcia III. Following the Spinoff, the unitholders of DriveTime contributed the Carvana, LLC units to Carvana Group. Subsequent to the Spinoff, we entered into several agreements with DriveTime and affiliated companies that were intended to facilitate our transition to a standalone company, which are described below, along with subsequent agreements. We will refer to DriveTime and its subsidiaries and affiliates, other than us, as “DriveTime”. There can be no assurances that DriveTime or its affiliated companies will enter into any new agreements or arrangements with us, or extend or renew existing agreements or arrangements, on the same terms, similar terms, or at all. ATLANTA, GA HUB LOCATION LEASE GUARANTEE In May 2013, DriveTime guaranteed our obligations under the lease governing our occupancy of the property on which an Atlanta hub is located. We do not compensate DriveTime for the guarantee. The initial lease term and rent payments commenced December 1, 2013, and the current term expires on November 30, 2019. Under the lease we may enter into one more two-year extension term. Base rent during the initial term was $9.5 thousand per month but may increase by 3% of the then-current base rent during each extension term. Monthly rent payments for January 1, 2018, through November 30, 2018, were $10.4 thousand per month, and as of December 1, 2018, are $10.7 thousand per month through November 30, 2019.

Table of Contents LEASE AGREEMENT In connection with the Spinoff, we entered into a lease agreement dated November 1, 2014, with DriveTime that governs our access to and utilization of space at DriveTime inspection and reconditioning centers (“IRCs”) for vehicle inspection and reconditioning in Blue Mound, Texas, and Delanco, New Jersey, and previously for inspection and reconditioning in Winder, Georgia. The lease agreement was most recently amended in December 2018. The agreement also governs utilization of office space and parking spaces at various IRCs and retail facilities that we use as hubs. Under the amended lease agreement, hubs generally have cancellable two-year terms subject to certain two consecutive one-year renewal options and subject to the terms of any master lease under which we are subleasing. We increased our utilization of the DriveTime IRCs in Blue Mound, Texas, and Delanco, New Jersey, to 100% as of July 2018. Under the lease agreement, we pay a monthly rental fee related to our pro rata utilization of space at such facilities plus a pro rata share of each facility’s actual insurance costs and real estate taxes. As it relates to locations where we recondition vehicles, our share of facility and reconditioning-supplies expenses are calculated monthly by multiplying the actual costs for operating the inspection centers by an amount related to our pro rata share of total reconditioned vehicles and parking spaces used at such IRCs in a given month. Total expenses related to this lease agreement were approximately $5.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2018. HOUSTON, TX VENDING MACHINE LEASE GUARANTEE On July 14, 2015, DriveTime guaranteed our obligations under the lease governing our occupancy of the property on which our Houston vending machine is located.

Table of Contents CLEVELAND, OH AREA INSPECTION AND RECONDITIONING CENTER SUBLEASE In November 2018, Carvana entered into a sublease agreement with DriveTime for an inspection and reconditioning center near Cleveland, Ohio. Pursuant to the sublease, Carvana temporarily shared space at the IRC until DriveTime vacated the facility in February 2019, at which point we purchased certain leasehold improvements and equipment at the facility from DriveTime for approximately $4.3 million (which amount represented the book value of such improvements and equipment net of accumulated depreciation and amortization) and became the sole occupant. We pay a base rent of $35.0 thousand per month which increases in each extension term. The sublease has an initial term of three years. We have the ability to exercise three renewal options of five years each. Before DriveTime vacated the property, we paid a monthly rental fee related to our pro rata utilization of space at the facility plus a pro rata share of the facility’s actual insurance costs and real estate taxes. Our share of facility and shared reconditioning supplies expenses were calculated based on the actual costs for operating the inspection and reconditioning center and our pro rata share of total reconditioned vehicles and parking spaces at the IRC in a given month.

On November 2, 2018, we amended the 2017 Master Transfer Agreement to, among other things and subject to the terms of the agreement, increase and extend the trust’s commitment to purchase finance receivables from us. The trust’s currently available financing following the amendment permits up to $454.5 million in principal balances of finance receivables to be purchased, and the 2017 Master Transfer Agreement’s purchase commitment contemplates the trust securing up to three times the currently available financing in the aggregate.

In considering the nature of the services provided by the independent auditor, the Audit Committee determined that such services are compatible with the provision of independent audit services. The Audit Committee discussed these services with the independent auditor and Carvana management to determine that they are permitted under the rules and regulations concerning auditor independence promulgated by the SEC to implement the Sarbanes—Oxley Act of 2002, as well as the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants. The Audit Committee has adopted a policy that requires advance approval of all audit services as well as non-audit services to the extent required by the Exchange Act and the Sarbanes—Oxley Act of 2002. Unless the specific service has been previously pre-approved with respect to that year, the Audit Committee must approve the permitted service before the independent auditor is engaged to perform it. The Audit Committee approved all services provided by Grant Thornton LLP. Representatives of Grant Thornton LLP are expected to be present at the annual meeting. They will have the opportunity to make a statement if they desire to do so, and we expect that they will be available to respond to questions. -54- HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_024363

If Carvana’s stockholders do not ratify the appointment of Grant Thornton LLP, the Audit Committee will reconsider the appointment and may affirm the appointment or retain another independent accounting firm. Even if the appointment is ratified, the Audit Committee may in the future replace Grant Thornton LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm if it is determined that it is in Carvana’s best interests to do so. The Audit Committee and the Board of Directors recommend that you vote “FOR” the ratification of the appointment of Grant Thornton LLP as the independent registered public accounting firm of Carvana for the year ending December 31, 2019. -55- HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_024364
Table of Contents A UDIT COMMITTEE REPORT The Audit Committee oversees our financial reporting process on behalf of the Board. The Audit Committee is composed of three independent directors (as defined by the New York Stock Exchange Listing Standards), met nine times in 2018, and operates under a written charter, which is posted on our website at investors.carvana.com/corporate-governance/governance-documents. As provided in the charter, the Audit Committee’s oversight responsibilities include monitoring the integrity of our financial statements (including reviewing financial information, the systems of internal controls, the audit process, and the independence and performance of our internal audit function and independent registered public accounting firm) and our compliance with legal and regulatory requirements. However, management has the primary responsibility for the financial statements and the reporting process, including our systems of internal controls. In fulfilling its oversight responsibilities, the Audit Committee * reviewed and discussed the audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2018, with our management; * discussed with our independent auditors, Grant Thornton LLP, the matters required to be discussed by Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (“PCAOB”) Auditing Standard No. 1301 (Communications with Audit Committees); and * received the written disclosures and the letter from Grant Thornton LLP required by applicable requirements of the PCAOB regarding Grant Thornton LLP’s communications with the audit committee concerning independence, and has discussed with Grant Thornton LLP the independence of Grant Thornton LLP. Based on the Audit Committee’s review and discussions noted above, the Audit Committee recommended to the Board of Directors that the audited financial statements be included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018.

Table of Contents ITEM 3-SAY ON PAY We are asking stockholders to approve, on an advisory basis, the compensation of our named executive officers as disclosed in the “Compensation Discussion and Analysis,” the “Summary Compensation Table,” and the related compensation tables and narrative. This item is being presented pursuant to Section 14A of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Although this advisory vote is not binding, the Compensation and Nominating Committee will consider the voting results when evaluating our executive compensation program. Our executive compensation programs are designed to support our long-term success and reflect our pay-for-performance culture. Our company has grown dramatically over the years. Our growth has few historical precedents and makes us one of the fastest-growing technology, consumer, or retail companies at our scale, and in 2018 we continued to grow rapidly, with another year of triple-digit unit and revenue growth while simultaneously making significant progress in gross profit per unit and accelerating our operating leverage. We have a strong belief in promoting a pay-for-performance culture, and, accordingly, as described in the “Compensation Discussion and Analysis” of this proxy statement, the Compensation and Nominating Committee has set challenging performance targets based not on last year’s achievements but continued rapid growth, and has structured our executive compensation program to tie total compensation to long-term stockholder value, as reflected primarily in our stock price. We believe that our executive compensation plans effectively support our strategic and financial goals, create a culture of teamwork, and are directly tied to the performance of the company and shareholder outcomes. The Board recommends a vote “FOR” approval, on an advisory basis, of our executive compensation as described in this proxy statement. ITEM 4 - SAY ON PAY FREQUENCY Pursuant to Section 14A of the Exchange Act, we are asking stockholders to cast an advisory vote on the frequency of future advisory votes on executive compensation. Stockholders may specify whether they prefer such votes to occur every year, every two years, or every three years, or they may abstain. The Board recommends that this vote occur every year. Although the stockholders’ vote on this proposal is not binding, the Board will consider the voting results in determining the frequency of future advisory votes. Notwithstanding the Board’s recommendation and the outcome of the stockholder vote, the Board may in the future decide to conduct advisory votes on a more or less frequent basis and may vary its practice based on factors such as discussions with stockholders and the adoption of material changes to compensation programs. The Board recommends stockholders vote, on an advisory basis, to conduct future advisory votes on executive compensation every “ONE YEAR.” - 57 - HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_024366

Under U.S. GAAP, the 100k Milestone Gift is treated as compensation expense, a portion of which relates to the production of our used vehicle inventory and is therefore capitalized to inventory and subsequently recognized within costs of sales when the related inventory is sold. NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES To supplement the consolidated financial statements, which are prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP, we also present the following non-GAAP measures: gross profit ex-Gift, gross profit per unit ex-Gift, EBITDA ex-Gift, and EBITDA margin ex-Gift. We believe the presentation of both GAAP and non-GAAP financial measures provides investors with increased transparency into financial measures used by our management team, and it also improves investors’ understanding of our underlying operating performance and their ability to analyze our ongoing operating trends. All historic non-GAAP financial measures have been reconciled with the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures. GROSS PROFIT EX-GIFT AND GROSS PROFIT PER UNIT EX-GIFT Gross profit ex-Gift and gross profit per unit ex-Gift are non-GAAP supplemental measures of operating performance that do not represent and should not be considered an alternative to gross profit, as determined by GAAP. Gross profit ex-Gift is defined as gross profit before compensation expense related to the 100k Milestone Gift included in cost of sales. Gross profit per Unit ex-Gift is Gross Profit ex-Gift divided by units sold. We use Gross Profit ex-Gift to measure the operating performance of our business and Gross Profit per Unit ex-Gift to measure our operating performance relative to our units sold. We believe that Gross Profit ex-Gift and Gross Profit per Unit ex-Gift are useful measures to us and to our investors because they exclude the expense associated with the 100k Milestone Gift recognized in cost of sales. We expect the 100k Milestone Gift to be a one-time award program for which we will recognize varying amounts of expense beginning in the second half of 2018 and continuing through the first half of 2020, and therefore we believe the related expense does not reflect our core operations, is not included in our past operations, and may not be indicative of our future operations. Additionally, the shares issued to settle the 100k Milestone Gift are offset by share contributions from Mr. Garcia to Carvana, therefore we expect the impact on shares outstanding to be nearly zero. We believe that excluding it enables us to more effectively evaluate our performance period-over-period and relative to our competitors. - 60 - HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_024369

Table of Contents income tax expense, depreciation and amortization expense, and the compensation expense related to the 100k Milestone Gift. EBITDA margin ex-Gift is EBITDA ex-Gift as a percentage of total revenues. We use EBITDA ex-Gift to measure the operating performance of our business and EBITDA Margin ex-Gift to measure our operating performance relative to our total revenues. We believe that EBITDA ex-Gift and EBITDA margin ex-Gift are useful measures to us and to our investors because they exclude certain financial and capital structure items and the expense associated with the 100k Milestone Gift that we do not believe directly reflect our core operations and may not be indicative of our recurring operations, in part because they may vary widely across time and within our industry independent of the performance of our core operations. In particular, we expect the 100k Milestone Gift to be a one-time award program for which we will recognize varying amounts of expense beginning in the second half of 2018 and continuing through the first half of 2020, and therefore we believe the related expense does not reflect our core operations, is not included in our past operations, and may not be indicative of our future operations. Additionally, the shares issued to settle the 100k Milestone Gift are offset by share contributions from Mr. Garcia to Carvana; therefore, we expect the impact on shares outstanding to be nearly zero. We believe that excluding these items enables us to more effectively evaluate our performance period-over-period and relative to our competitors. EBITDA ex-Gift and EBITDA margin ex-Gift may not be comparable to similarly titled measures provided by other companies due to potential differences in methods of calculations. A reconciliation of EBITDA ex-Gift to net loss which includes 100k Milestone Gift expense and is the most directly comparable GAAP measure, and calculation of EBITDA margin ex-Gift is as follows (dollars in thousands): YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2018 2017 2016 2015 2014 Net loss $(254,745) $(164,316) $(93,112) $(36,780) $(15,238) Depreciation and amortization expense 23,539 11,568 4,658 2,800 1,706 Interest expense 25,018 7,659 3,587 1,412 108 100k Milestone Gift 11,821 — — — — EBITDA ex-Gift $(194,367) $(145,089) $(84,867) $(32,568) $(13,424) Total revenues $1,955,467 $858,870 $365,148 $130,392 $41,679 Net Loss Margin (13.0)% (19.1)% (25.5)% (28.2)% (36.6)% EBITDA Margin ex-Gift (9.9)% (16.9)% (23.2)% (25.0)% (32.2)% -62- HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_024371
