For traditional dealerships, the cars not being on the lot does seem like a potential problem. But I'm seeing plenty of cars on the road with Carvana license plate frames these days, so there seems to be some willingness to buy a used car sight unseen over the internet (at least for relatively new cars in good shape).
If Carve could sign up Carvana as a provider, that could be a major source of cars, and Carvana's customers don't expect to be able to bring their car home today. Right now it looks like Carvana has a nationwide inventory of ~16000 cars, although I don't know where those cars live, relative to human population centers.
On the other hand, Carvana isn't Uncle Willy's Used Car Lot ... if this is such a good idea they've probably got the talent to implement it in-house.
