Talk Me Out of Selling My Car via Carvana

Appreciate the feedback.

I tend to agree with most of the comments - especially that a forum tends to be one of the least favorable places to sell a car. Cars and Bids or Bring a Trailer is the alternative to Carvana in my mind, but the mileage is on the border of being desirable vs. not to those communities.

Cars and bids is garbage, don't waste your time.

You're missing the middle ground which are the cars.com, autotrader, cargurus - those sites get tons of hits from normal buyers who don't know what rod bearings are but might see something interesting in their search for a 3 series. You might have to spend $200-300 for listings, but at least you'll open yourself up to a broader market.

BaT is only worth it if you have extensive documentation, great photos and are willing to wait. Usually if they accept your car there is a several week waiting list because of how they cluster their inventory and active auctions.
