Has anyone ever sold a car to Carmax before?

Thoughts?

Re: Has anyone ever sold a car to Carmax before?

  • My thoughts: you go through cars faster than I go through bras.

    Seriously, I've had all my bras longer than you've had your cars. 

    Maybe I should go shopping.

    LOL. We are looking to SELL the honda and my mom is giving us her car for free. No more car payment!

  • Okay, this is acceptable. So in answer to your original question, no I have never sold a car to Carmax.  ;)

  • We recently thought about selling to Carmax.  They offer you  the wholesale price, which is much less than what a dealer would give you if you were to be trading the car in.  The trade-in value is generally a significant amount lower than a private sale value, so selling it to car max, you'd really sell yourself short.

    Example: We had a 2004 Tribute.  Dealer gave us $3800, private sale would have been around $5000, and carmax offered $2200.  

    If at all possible, I'd try for a private sale.

  • I have. I needed something fast and easy and it worked. You should try to sell it on your own before you go that route, though. You should get more $$ that way.
    I agree with everything that muddled said. You should listen to her. -ESDReturns
  • Well we still have a loan on it. I was thinking about trying a dealer but I have no idea if a dealer would buy a car if we weren't buying one.

    It doesn't hurt to shop it around.

    Used cars are a commodity right now, especially a nice little fuel efficient Japanese car.

    Good point. I might try the place we bought it from since it's a Honda dealership.

  • I got a quote to sell once.  The offer was just under 5k, and they had a car on their lot like mine (yr, make, model) but with no sunroof for 9500.
