A simple Answer TO yOUr Question
How long does it take to sell to CarMax vs Carvana?
CarMax can complete a sale the same day you visit, including payment. The appraisal takes about 30 to 45 minutes, and if you accept, the paperwork and payment happen immediately. Carvana's process starts online but the pickup, inspection, and payment can take several days to over a week, especially if a lien payoff is involved. For pure speed, CarMax's in-person process is typically faster from start to payment.

People come for the number. They stay for how easy we make it.
I had a great experience working with Sean at Vantage Auto Group. I wasn’t really looking forward to going through the car-buying process, but Sean made it incredibly easy. He found the exact car I wanted, got me a great deal, and had it delivered right to my driveway, without ever having to deal with a dealership. There was no pressure, no pushing, and no feeling that anyone was trying to take advantage. Everything was smooth, straightforward, and stress-free. I would absolutely recommend Vantage Auto Group to anyone who wants the car-buying experience to be easy and hassle-free.

This was the easiest lease that I have done so far. Best part is no back and forth, hours at the dealer and car was delivered to me :)Thank you Sean for all your help!

I can’t thank Sean enough for making my transition seamless and completely stress-free. What can often feel like an overwhelming process was made easy and comfortable from start to finish. He took the time to truly understand my wants, needs, and budget without any judgment, and kept me informed every step of the way. His humor and authenticity were an added bonus and made the experience even more enjoyable. Going from one lease to another in under a week felt effortless and refreshing, even without stepping into a dealership. See you in three years, Sean!
