Any tips for selling car to Carmax?

jaybulls · 12-01-2014, 07:14 PM

to buy my zed in '12 for my '13 it was suggested i take it to carmax for an appraisal since i was interested in my honda '11 cr-z paid off value...i paid cash for the car a year earlier w/upgrades taking the car up to 26k...

the dealer seemed very impressed that my cr-z only had 8k miles on butt, only offered 16k as a cash trade-in...

totally a rip-off unless a person is in dire need off a payday...

I'm not hurting to get rid of the Z but just looking what they'd give me without having to deal with lookie-loos. Obviously private party would be best and we'll see what they offer me before I go down that road. Thanks for the replies so far.

You might as well take it in and see what they say. As far as negotiation, I don't think they really budge.

Well that was a bust. Maybe if I had a coke habit and needed cash quick.
