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 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

David Alesso made the impossible happen! My family grew & my SUV got very small FAST but I still had a year left on my lease. This was my 2nd time using Vantage Auto Group & David worked a miracle! Yet again, everything was very seamless & easy & my Telluride was delivered right to my door!

This is what buying a car should be! Not only did I get the best deal, but I was able to do it all on my time. They are fair, honest, and provide a level of service that you do not get in traditional car buying. My trade-in was picked up from my driveway, and my new car was delivered. No hassle. I highly recommend Dave and his incredible team!!
