Carvana, the company best known for selling cars from a giant vending machine, filed for an initial public offering on Friday.

The online car dealership is looking to raise $100 million, according to an SEC filing, though that could change. Carvana has hired Wells Fargo, Bank of America, Citigroup, and Deutsche Bank to lead the IPO.

Carvana sells cars online that customers can either pick up or have delivered directly to their house. Those who choose the former can retrieve the car from a giant, five-story vending machine that's located in cities like Austin, Dallas, and Nashville.
