I'm wondering these days which is the most effective way to sell as i need to replace before it starts tanking. Selling websites like Autotrader? Sell to a buyer company like Carmax. Trade in? I know it will vary but wondered if anyone has relatively concrete opinion.

Submit several "sell your car now" requests, and follow up on the responses you receive. The automated email offer is a lowball, if you take the car to the local dealer that backed the offer, you will get a better price. Do your homework on retail asking prices on Cargurus.
I sold a 4 yr old 100k mile Mercedes this way and it worked for me. Fast and painless transaction with a fair price. I drove to the car dealer and left with a check in my hand. We did one round of back and forth and agreed on a price.
I left a few thou$ on the table but didn't have to deal with tire kickers and counterparty risk.
