Sure you can do private party, you might find an honest buyer.
My question though, other than the aforementioned hassles, is Would a private party (possibly uninformed to TODAY's used car climate) offer/agree to a price higher than a dealer/carvana/carmax?

Both Carvana and Carmax are painless and easy to deal with.
I have sold to Carmax twice, but the last time was pre-pandemic.

A few days ago, I quoted one of my cars on Carvana's website, it's pretty damn quick, I filled out the questions in less than 3 minutes and they e-mailed me a quote. I haven't gone through with it, but from what I understand, they just pick up your car once you agree to their offer.

You could get quotes at these places then also list private party and compare?
