I’ve had nothing but good experiences with Carmax.

Yeah they gave me a fair quote for my car, and they weren't not pushy at all when trying to sell me another.

I did that, then went to Carvana. Here's the difference: KBB gave me two dealerships that would buy my car. I was required to take it to them, let them inspect it, and then see if they would honor the price KBB gave me. If they still wanted to buy it, then I am left with getting paid. Carvana had me send them a picture of the odometer, title, and my driver's license. When they verified I was who I said I was, they made an appointment to come pick up my car at where ever I told them.

That was difference in the procedure, but the big difference was in the price. Carvana offered $5K more than the KBB offer! The guy showed up with a truck exactly like the one in their commercial. He took a few pictures, I signed a couple of docs. He submitted payment thru his phone, and the money was in my account the next day.

I sold another car to a dealership with KBB last year. It was not a pleasant experience. A lot of sitting around at the dealership waiting on someone there to do something. Just getting them to actually cut the check was an ordeal. Also, keep in mind, I had to have someone with me, to take me back home.

2016 GMC Sierra 1500 Z71 SLE crew cab. 122k miles in great condition.

20,500 is my best offer right now.

My neighbors sold a vehicle that didn't run and needed a new motor to carvana. They were happy with the transaction.

A few months later they bought a vehicle through carvana.

If you do a trade will they negotiate much on what you pay for the new vehicle?

I checked prices on all those a few months ago when I needed to sell a very good condition 07 Toyota Solara w 80K miles. Best online offer was $5700. Sold it myself on FB market place for $10,000

I checked CarMax, Carvana, Give me the Vin, KBB and found CarMax to be the best. I don't know how the services for the rest compare, but be prepared to take a few hours of your day (even with an appointment) to get the transaction completed. They did multiple inspections and were completely disorganized; but in the end gave me exactly what they quoted.

I've never used anything like Carmax or Carvana, but I am going to give them a try the next time I am in the market for a vehicle. I wouldn't shed a tear if they put traditional car dealerships out of business. Car salesman rank somewhere between lawyers and crackheads on my shite list.

Worth a try. I've taken three cars to them, and sold one. It's a pretty painless process if you get an offer you like. Do your homework first.
