My experience with Carvana and the like wasn't as great as others. I had a 2016 SLT Sierra I bought for $32K and drove 2 months, local dealership had a 2017 Denali ultimate with a Borla exhaust I wanted, thought I'd try the online buy sites, highest offer I got was $27K, local dealership gave me $34K in trade on it, this was when the used car market was around its peak.

My brother-in-law got an offer of like $34K from Carvana for his 2017 RAM with 16K miles, a local dealership paid him $43K in cash for it.

Nowadays I figure Carvana is pretty competitive to local dealers as the market has calmed down slightly (but still way more ridiculous than it should be). In fact the only reason I traded my AT4 for a second gen Raptor is the GM dealership had 2 on the lot and nobody there knew how to answer simple questions about them so they wanted them gone. Probably got the cheapest Raptor in the country at that time.
