I'll second givmethevin.com. I sold a car to them a couple of months ago and it was a pretty easy process. Don't accept their initial offer, I got them up another 1K.
Trying to find a thread or help answering a question about selling car to a dealership.

Seems to be that givemethevin is the one to deal with. I’ll give em a go.
Sorry man, had to actually do my job for a few minutes! He used givemethevin.
I sold two vehicles to carmax. Very pleased and easy process. One was a Honda, and one was a Chev pickup.. Both, substantially higher dollars than dealer would give me, even when I told them what Carmax was giving they would give a penny more. (dealer where I bought replacement from and checked other as well)
Honda was close to $5000 and chevy was $4000. (obviously depends on the vehicle etc.)
That was a year ago when demand maybe was higher. I know several with similar experience.
Regardless, the process is simple at the store, if I knew they would give me only $200 more at carmax I would still sell to Carmax as it was easy and fast. I went to the store (Tulsa)to get appraised, did not do it on line.

Facebook marketplace of all places got a Dallas dealership in contact with us. They are driving all the way up here to BFE next week and paying us our asking price we had for the car. Meeting us at our bank as well. Hoping for a smooth transaction.
Givemethevin was $3,000 below our asking price.
Car Max offered what we wanted but it’s my understanding that it could have changed once we take it to their lot.
Never would have thought Facebook Marketplace would actually work successfully.
I think give me the vin is a better place to sell a car that isn’t worth $30,000+.

My FIL sold his car to Battison Honda in Okc for more then the give me the vin guy offered. They didn’t even drive it or start it. Just walked around & looked at it, and asked if he had the title & extra set of keys. Easy deal. Blue book price was 6500 & Battison gave him 9300. Vin guy offered 9000.
The Vin guy was from out of state & seemed sketchy. Dealers are offering big money for cars as their inventory is low. It’s a sellers market. I’d get an offer online from the Vin guy, then shop it around to some of the bigger dealerships.

It's all realtive. VIN guy could be good this week, Carmax the next, Dealers the next.
Shop around, get the best deal, laugh all the way to the bank.

CarPro's Car-Buying Partner: Carbingo | Sell Your Car I hear they pay more than Carmax or GivemetheVin
last time I bought a car I got it from Vroom - was always skeptical about on-line car stuff but I did in fact get a bargain compared to what I could buy the same car from a dealer -- I also sold my car to them for at least a few thousand more than I could have got selling it privately and several thousand more than a dealer would give for it
cost nothing to check - just enter your info - they will give you a price and if you accept they will pick it up on your schedule
