Starting Wednesday, you’re able to buy a car from online car sales company Carvana’s newest car vending machine.

You've probably seen the tall glass building going up just north of the Red Mountain Loop 202 off of Scottsdale Road over the past several months -- now the construction is complete and it's loaded up to the top with cars of all makes and models.

“We believe we’re the new way to buy a car and that involves creating great technology and promoting more transparency in giving customers more control in how they buy the car,” said Carvana co-founder Ryan Keeton.

Carvana’s nine-story Tempe tower is the company’s 12th car vending machine in the nation. It will serve as a pick-up experience for customers who purchase a car online through the company's website. Wednesday's launch comes about one year after the company started offering its free car delivery service in the Phoenix metro area.

Why not.  They have reduced everything else to the Walmart model for a  generation or two dumbed down idiot consumers.

Heh.  Mrs. Liberty promptly registered at Carvana and started window shopping.  I don't see the point in going to the Vending Machine when they deliver to your driveway....

Friend, either you're closing your eyes
To a situation you do not wish to acknowledge
Or you are not aware of the caliber of disaster indicated
By the presence of a car vending machine in your community
Well, ya got trouble, my friend, right here
I say, trouble right there in River City.

I didn't realize you could sell those. I thought they were just for flinging at rock singers on stage.

How dare those people meet a rising demand, rather than provide shelter to those who won't move forward?

Do you think those vending machines do their own maintenance and stock themselves?
