40. Consider sites like CarMax or Carvana

It’s been four years since I’ve used Carmax, but I was in the process of buying an EV from a dealer and they were not interested in my trade in - we are talking like $5k offer.

Carmax gave me $23k for the trade-in. I put the info into their website, it gave me an offer and I drove it to the local Carmax place. They took about a half hour to check it out to see if it matched the info I’d put in then they gave me the paperwork to sign over to them and they cut me a check for the agreed upon price.

It was seamless.

Carvana picks up the car, I think, but otherwise works similarly. They weren’t in my area at that point.
