We're both car guys, so the discussion between him and me about the Carvana experience is void of any drama.
His Miata purchase went extremely well. Caravan delivered the Miata to his house on their flatbed truck. The delivery person got the Miata off the truck and let Paul take it for a test drive prior to purchase. Paul had arranged the financing through his credit union, so all the paper work was setup with Carvana ahead of time. Paul liked the Miata, it was in the condition as advertised by Carvana, one signature on the delivery persons iPad and the Miata was Paul's. He's been happy as a clam with it since. I was just in it with him a few weeks ago.
Can't speak to the extended warranty per Carvana. But I did buy my Z4 at CarMax and they tried to sell me the extended warranty. I just find it humorous that CarMax (and possibly Carvana) will offer you a chance to pay them more money via an extended warranty to cover any of their eff ups related to their review and assessment of the condition of the car you are buying from them.
Hope this helps.

Doug DeMuro put up a series of videos talking about his CarMax extended warranty experience on a Range Rover he bought from them. He made out pretty good which resulted in CarMax making changes to their warranty program.
