Stay resilient and, when your luck turns, be ready to jump at the right opportunity, according to Carvana co-founder and CEO Ernie Garcia.
Less than two years after the online used car retailer's ballooning debt and shrinking sales nearly forced the company into bankruptcy, Carvana is on the road to recovery.
That's not something you imagine [when you start a business]," Garcia told CNBC's "Squawk on the Street" on Thursday morning.
Carvana had been riding high during the coronavirus pandemic, when the market for used cars surged.
Investor perspectives changed quite a bit in [2022] and our stock went down 99%," Garcia said on Thursday.
