WeBuyAnyCar
Anyone have any experience with this company. I am thinking of selling my 2007 coupe with 31,000 miles. Just for Giggles and Grins I listed my car and they responded with an offer of $21,365. Now they only ask the year, mileage and condition no options or anything else. Now I have ARH SLP Loudmouth, rear wide body conversion, engine is dressed up side skirts and spoiler. So I am sure they will want to take money off. Just wondering if anyone has dealt with them. No wanting to have people coming to the house and knowing many will really be there just for a teat drive with no real intension of buying.

Personally I would sell. Private. If someone does come along to check out the car. Make sure you ask to show the money first? Otherwise they'll do what you sont want them to do... i know i probably would too lol

I have heard just the opposite with CarMax. They try and lowball you so they can make bigger profit or at least have some wiggle room. But I guess it would not hurt to check them out. After all all I need to do is laugh and walk out, which is what I will most likely do if I do take it to WeBayAnyCar.

Depending on what your trying to sell, Carmax can be one, if not the lowest of offers you will receive.
Two experiences dealing with Carmax, a low-ball price they offered on an 2015 F-250 Platinum I was selling right after my divorce few years back and most recently, another lowball price on my 2016 M2.
The 2016 M2 and F-250 both ended up going private party for thousands more than what Carmax offered.

That may explain the low ball offers from Carmax, the 2016 M2 had 70K+ miles and the F-250 was into the low 100's

Check out Carvana too, I have seen people post they got a pretty reasonable offer to buy. I have had good and bad experience with carmax. As mentioned above if you have a newer low mileage car you get a decent offer.

2024 C8 of the Year Finalist - Unmodified
I use eBay Motors. I've sold two cars on there since May 2019 - a 2015 C7 Z51 A8 and a 2014 MB E350 AMG Cabriolet - and got what I wanted for both of them. When I list there I always put a "Buy it Now" price so people can see what I think the car is worth. I start the bids out high to chase off the people who want to bid $500 just to see what happens with the car. I only correspond with a potential buyer through eBay so they never see anything but my screen name. I only communicate with them directly through email after they buy the car and the deposit is in my account.
Both cars sold in 11 days, so it cost me two $95 listing fees on each car. The guy who bought the C7 was from Pennsylvania and sent an enclosed trailer to pick it up after he wired the money to my bank. The guy who bought the MB E350 flew down to Atlanta from Maryland, met me at a bank where he got a cashier's check for me, and then test drove the car on his way back to Maryland. I never will sell a car any other way. It eliminated the test drives, the lowball offers from places like Carmax, Carvana, etc......and was pretty much free of any aggravation plus it saved me a lot of time not dealing with people meeting me who weren't really serious about buying the car.

I know some friends that have sold cars to Carmax and got paid top dollar

I have sold three cars to Carvana, all came very close to private party retail, and all were thousands more than CarMax or Zoom offered. So they are certainly worth a try, and having them come and pick up the car and make reliable payment is worth something. I sold them a Town and Country, a Mustang, and a Challenger.
