The easiest way is to sell it to a dealer like CarMax. You can be done same day, start to finish. That’s also what’ll get you the least money.

If you want to get as much as possible for it, you’ll need to sell it yourself, which can be a pain, especially since it’s financed and the buyer will likely need a loan. Coordination with both lenders will be required, probably an escrow service too.

Getting an estimate at CarMax is a must, particularly if OP does a trade in.

Last new car I bought, by going to CarMax first I was able to take the estimate and get an extra $1000 on trade in from the new car dealer. Added bonus of not having to deal with the sales tax paperwork.

You can definitely get more than what CarMax will give you, but it requires a little work. There are different websites/firms (Google "sell my car online") that will get you more than Carmax and Carvana. I very recently worked with Give Me The Vin and AlphaBid and both got me around $1500 more than Carvana (which was $4K more than CarMax).
