[quote=Anonymous]Carmax and Carvana are the easiest.  You get a low offer because you are essentially paying the price for convenience.  As other PPs have said, you go to Carmax, they will give you a quote and you can take the deal and walk out with a check or consider it for up to 7 days.  Carvana, same but they will come pick up the car.  Both will give you a low offer.

You get better offers from car dealerships if you are going to trade-in for a newer car.  They will up the value of the trade-in as long as it doesn't completely cut out their profit margin on the new car.  They use the value of the trade-in as a carrot to seal the deal on the new car.

The best offer is to list on places like Craig's List or on services like Next Door or FB Marketplace.  If you cut out the middle man and sell directly to a buyer, you'll get the best deal and closest to the value of the car because there's one less hand to try and make a profit off the dealing.  That said, it is the least convenient.  You have to list it, answer questions from potential buyers, make arrangements to meet buyers, do your due diligence in checking out potential buyers, etc.  Lots more risk and responsibility when doing it this way, but you'll get the best deal.

I personally drive cars until they are pretty old and not worth as much.  So I then either just do Carmax to get cash or donate to a charity that will give me the market value of the car as a tax write-off (last one I donated to Vehicles for Change). [/quote]
