I don’t know how generalizable my experience is, but I sold my 2019 1500 in May or early June last year.
I got quotes from Autonation, Vroom, Carmax, and Carvana. Autonation was the highest, and I think Carmax was the lowest.
Meanwhile, I also listed it on Facebook Marketplace and Autotrader. I got very little traffic on Autotrader, but a few inquiries on Facebook. I listed it at $4K above the Autonation offer. This out it about the midpoint of KBB private sale range.
Many of them started started immediately with, “what’s the VIN?” I was a little suspicious at this directness, but I learned later that these were dealers looking to stock their lots.
Long story short, I ended up selling my truck to one of those dealers, who offered $2K more than Autonation (so $2K below my asking price). I was happy with that; it’s $9K more than I paid for the truck in 2019 (it was used with 6K miles on it at the time; I sold it with 21K miles).
Take always that might help:
- As others suggest, get quotes from Carmax, etc.
- List on Facebook Marketplace, using KBB private sale estimate as a guide
- If you get Facebook messages asking for the VIN, it’s likely dealers interested in buying your truck.
