It took about 10 minutes to get a price online, they picked it up the next day, and provided a check. I once sold a car to Car Max. They inspected the car and gave me a written offer that was good for 7 days. I delivered the car a few days later and they handed me a check. Personally, I don't see how a dealer can compete with Car Max and Carvana.
A family member has vehicles through Carvana and recommends them.
