Are there companies besides Carvana that offer a fast, direct vehicle buyout?

Circumstances have changed in our house and we no longer need two 4wd/ SUV vehicles. Since the Rivian is still worth a chunk, I’m looking at selling it… although I do love it!
I know many folks here have dealt with Carvana; just wondering if you know of other outfits that operate in the same fashion, and offer a direct buyout of a used car. While I certainly could list my R1S on Craigslist, EBay, etc. those can be either expensive or full of scammers.
I did a web search and that just gave me a list of used car listing sites.
Do you know of others like Carvana?
Thanks in advance.

Carmax is the only other one that comes to mind immediately.

You can get an offer from Kelley Blue Book, too.They just have local dealers execute the transaction. Got really good pricing on my Tesla a couple years back.

Good point-- I had forgotten about KBB.

Sold our old vehicle late last year to CarMax, they offered more than Carvana. Get quotes from both (super quick) and proceed from there.

I've used CarMax probably 6-7 times. Once Carvana and others came out, I got some quotes, but CarMax was always higher.

Now I don't even bother, especially since there are two CarMax locations near my home. I'm not going to hassle myself over a usually small difference in price over convenience.

I’ve used Carmax and Givemethevin in the past. Both were quick and easy

Carvana offered me $5,000 more than Carmax for my Tesla last year.
