Anyone ever used Carvana or Carmax to sell their vehicle?

I've sold one car to Carmax. I had initial estimates of the vehicle value from online resources such as blue book and Edmunds before visiting any dealerships. Carmax offered the most and was very close to the online estimates and higher than the offers from 3 local dealers. I was very happy with the one interaction I had with them. It was also pretty stress-free.

I got a fair offer from Carvana for my Frontier better than what Edmunds offered, A friend sold his mothers Mercedes to them and he was happy with the transaction, said it was very easy.

I've sold one to Carmax and was satisfied with the deal.
I was in that area today and saw a sign at Bob Howard saying they would beat Carmax offers for used cars; you might check them out.

I have probably sold 8-12 cars to Carmax. Normally I take a vehicle to Carmax first since their offers are good for 7 days. Then armed with that I use it for my trade-in. More often than not any given dealer will match Carmax. Two weeks ago I sold my 2019 F250 Limited with 22,xxx miles for $74k to Carmax. When it was all said and done between what I paid and my tax write offs I made money on that truck.

Never sold a car to them but I AM looking at buying from them in the next few months. Been researching reviews and a lot of them refer selling to them with a positive result. Reddit has a Carvana subreddit if you want to check reviews.

Has anyone here ever bought from them? I'd be interested in hearing the good, bad and ugly on them.

I like CarMax, but the one time I got a price from them it was the lowest of 3 I got there and elsewhere.
There was a Mazda CX-5 I was getting for my wife. Nelson Mazda gave me just a few hundred dollars less than I would have sold it for cash, much more than the offers I got elsewhere. I was very surprised and happy with the deal.

Yes it’s true - I’ll pay $100 for the Last Look!
“I’ll pay you for the opportunity of the Last Look on your deal – if I can’t beat your Carmax offer, I will mail you a $100 check. Remember: we come to you, the others do not. We pay with a live check – they pay with a bank draft that’s no good for a week. Plus, GMTV offers a completely online transaction with curbside service. We are the Amazon of car buyers.”
