The bottom line: Sites like Carvana include Driveway, CarGurus and Driveo. All three offered more than Carvana for the truck and SUV we tested. For an online sale with free home pickup, Driveway works most like Carvana. For offers from several dealers, use CarGurus, but the dealer sets the final price. If you want your money the same day, CarMax...

The bottom line: The best CarMax alternatives are Carvana, Driveway and Driveo. Each one beat CarMax on most of the cars we tested. Carvana and Driveway buy online; Driveway picks your car up from home, and Carvana does in some areas, sometimes for a fee depending on location. Driveo makes you drive to one of its 29 dealer locations, and...

The bottom line: The site most like Autotrader is Cars.com. It also lists for private buyers and protects the payment, but listing is free, while Autotrader charges $9 to $49 plus 0.99% of the sale. For a car under $10,000, Facebook Marketplace reaches the most local buyers free, but you screen them yourself. Craigslist works the same way for $5...

The bottom line: The closest site like Facebook Marketplace is Craigslist, where you still list your car for local buyers and take payment in person, for $5 a post. Cars.com and Autotrader also sell privately but protect you from fake checks. For a free listing, Cars.com adds secure payment through Caramel. For safer meetups, Autotrader logs each test drive you...

The bottom line: The sites most like Peddle are Wheelzy, CashForCars and CarBrain. Like Peddle, they make an online offer for a junk or damaged car and tow it free. For speed, Wheelzy picks up within 48 hours after you accept, sometimes the same day. In rural areas, CashForCars has better coverage. To negotiate, CarBrain lets you counter its first...

The bottom line: The top Bring a Trailer alternatives are Cars & Bids for modern enthusiast cars and Hemmings for true classics. Like BaT, they auction your car to serious enthusiasts, and their staff help write the listing. Of the two, Cars & Bids is cheaper. For the widest reach with no approval step, list on eBay Motors. For a...

The bottom line: The best alternatives to KBB's Instant Cash Offer are Carvana, CarGurus and Driveway. Each beat KBB's offer on most of the cars it quoted in our tests. Like KBB, they quote your car online. Unlike KBB, Carvana and Driveway can buy it from your home, while a CarGurus sale ends at a local dealer. If KBB won't...

The bottom line: Sites like CarGurus that buy a newer car outright include Carvana and Driveway. Driveway picks it up from your home for free, and Carvana picks up in some areas, possibly for a fee depending on where you live, or takes a free drop-off. Carvana's quoted price holds for 7 days if the car matches the description, and...

The bottom line: The best sites like TrueCar are Carvana, CarGurus and Driveo, and each beat TrueCar's offer on every car it quoted. TrueCar no longer buys cars itself, so its cash offer now comes from one of its dealers, where you drop the car off. Carvana buys the car itself, and at Driveo a local partner dealer buys it...

The bottom line: The sites most like Craigslist are Facebook Marketplace and Cars.com, where you still list your car and sell it to a private buyer yourself. Facebook Marketplace is free to list on. For help with the sale, Cars.com can handle the paperwork and the payment for you. For a private sale with more safety, Autotrader screens buyers and...

The bottom line: The main alternatives to Cars & Bids are Bring A Trailer, Hemmings and eBay Motors. For a rare, well-documented car that collectors pay well for, Bring A Trailer is the closest match, with the same seven-day auctions and an enthusiast crowd. It is also the biggest of the three. For a traditional classic, Hemmings reaches classic car...

The bottom line: Facebook Marketplace is the closest alternative to Cars.com for a private sale. It's free, and selling straight to a local buyer usually gets the highest price for an everyday car, though you screen buyers yourself. For a high-value car, Autotrader checks every buyer but charges fees. For an enthusiast or collector car, try Cars & Bids. To...
