Private sales can be the most money but it can take a while. I went through the process in 2019-2020. I listed it for private sale and man-oh-man was that a time waster… I know legitimate sellers are out there, obviously, but the amount of BS I had to sift through was alarming. In the end I just sold the car to Carmax because I literally had a 2015 M4 and a 2018 M4*** simultaneously for almost 8 months. I got frustrated with the process because at a certain point (around the 6 month mark) it just felt silly to be holding on to an extra car that I didn't even drive.
Admittedly, I had a three month window in my mind but things just went on forever. For context, the car was appropriately priced: I listed for $38k for a 2015 6MT Base car with literally every DINAN product offered (except the wheels), no collisions, 44k miles (iirc), and title in hand. I sold to carmax for $46k because the whole car market turned upside down out of nowhere but I still think my listing price was reasonable/generous on my part - they ultimately sold the car for $51k in less than a week.
***The 2018 ZCP was really hard to find so I pulled to trigger to not miss out on my perfect spec (mineral white, 6MT, with less than 9k miles, and CPO)
