You have to do your homework, they'll screw you blue if you let em, Z_ealot did his homework. If you are not desperate to sell you win, but don't let desperation/impulse buying bite you in the wallet when you can hold off for an actual fair offer.

heck yeah i did, but i ended up not going the carmax route and ended up getting $4500 out of my old cobalt which then went towards the down payment on the Z on top of what i had already saved for a down payment...in the end if you have the patience and time to sell private party it is worth it as long as you are fair with your price.

I am trading my 2011 Infiniti sedan in on a 370Z that I ordered. Went to three dealerships and all three including carmax gave me the same price which is trade in.

In Louisiana (do not know about other states), a trade in reduces the sales tax on the purchase price. In other words, I will pay sales taxes on the difference between the new vehicle and the trade in saving me $2400 in sales taxes.
