A simple Answer TO yOUr Question
Does CarMax or Carvana pay more for cars?
It depends on the specific car, market conditions, and timing. Neither consistently pays more than the other across all vehicles. The most reliable approach is to get offers from both and compare. Sellers who submit the same car to multiple buyers often find spreads of several hundred dollars or more between offers. Do not assume either will be highest; check both before deciding.

I’ve always used brokers to get my car, It’s definitely much easier than going to the dealers and getting screwed over later.Brandon and his team were a great help In helping me find a car that suited my needs. Although I was a little skeptical, cause I’ve only done it one other time, but the process was quick and easy. I wanted to carbefore February, and Vantage Motor delivered, I mean actually delivered the car to my house.Only thing I had to do was decide which one I wanted. Will definitely be using them again for my next car!

After 30 years of car buying this has been the best experience I’ve had. Sean has been helpful, resourceful and easy to work with. I’ll never go back to the archaic dealership process again.

Such a wonderful experience with Sean and his team at Vantage Auto Group. Imagine not having to sit at a dealership for several hours. That alone is worth the 5 star review. Add to that how knowledgeable Sean is, how he actually wants to get you the best deal, and how little stress you'll experience throughout the entire process, and 5 stars just aren't enough. I would recommend Vantage Auto Group to anyone!

I just leased a new car with them yesterday and it was a fantastic and easy experience. Charlie was incredibly helpful and thorough. I had the car delivered 24 hours after my first conversation with Charlie! I'll never visit a dealer again. I highly recommend Vantage Auto Group
