Has anyone sold their car to carmax? I got a quote online but when I took it there they tried to give me $1k less than the quote even though I answered all of the questions honestly. Has anyone had this issue?

More than likely when they looked at it they realized they needed to fix something. I would recommend taking it to the manufacturing dealership to appraise it and then compare it to your carmax appraisal. The myth that carmax gives more money is simply because people are typically not trading in with them. Dealerships give a lower number only because you sometimes get a trade tax credit.

I did Carvana recently and it was seamless. They didn't even inspect the car, I probably left $1-2K on the table by reporting minor paint chips.

Same, carvana was super easy and gave me the best deal on my trade in with zero hassles.

Use Carvana. Say your car is in flawless condition. Submit a few different times with a few different emails, and take the best offer. Did this a few weeks ago and it worked flawlessly
