Anyone get a recent Carmax bid?

I guess it depends on which carmax you go to. When I was selling my wife's 2008 Jetta (this was 1 year ago) they wanted to give my $10,000 for it. I thought that was fair, but when I went to the Infinity dealer they gave me $10,500. Hit or miss I guess.

Basically, when it's time to sell, if you're not considering a private sale, go to Carmax first for the appraisal and take it with you. It's good for 7 days and 1000 miles, I believe. Then go get it appraised at dealerships. Why not? Minimally, you'll get the carmax price. If it's too low, then private sale may be the way to go.

Do NOT go to carmax. Some have had good experiences, but I know personally that my parents got $11K for a 2005 Porsche Cayenne Turbo in perfect condition with 90K miles (they took care of it with upmost care). I wish they'd told me, I would've bought it and turned it into an off roader at that price. Or just kept it as it was.
Just didn't sit right that a car that has never been to a service shop once in its life, with 6 pot brakes and crazy horse power and full leather interior sold less than a ford fiesta.
Let us know what you do

Edit: after reading some posts it seems other had better experience than my parents. Still think you can get more at private sale
