Unfortunately the Pixel is the best phone for degoogling with the widest support of alternative ROMs.
The irony of giving money to Google in order to degoogle is pretty harsh.

I'd always shop used for that through a reputable resale store with quality assurance.

Just buy a used one. It's good for the environment and you don't give money to Google

meh, they'll learn that we like their hardware and their OS, but not their spyware. If everyone does that, you'll see next thing they do is start cutting down the spying.

I fear they will go the other way, that is start locking down the pixels to make replacing their OS more difficult.

That's next level optimism.
