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.

Had a wonderful experience working with Vantage and Dave A. in particular. Dave came as a referral from a neighbor and he was very straightforward and helpful throughout the entire process. Once I decided to move forward with a lease, Dave was super efficient and we got everything done within a few days!

I had an amazing experience working with Mark Viegas! He helped me get a leased vehicle without ever having to step foot in a dealership. Mark handled all the negotiations, worked within my down payment and monthly budget, and made the entire process stress-free. The best part — he even had the car delivered right to my home! I couldn’t be happier with how smooth and easy everything was. Highly recommend Mark if you want a professional who truly takes care of everything from start to finish.
