Default Is carmax fair with buying your car?

I'm thinking about taking my civic in and seeing how much they offer me, but dont want to waste my time if they are ridiculous. I've HEARD they will give you the trade-in.. is this true?

Whats your guys experiences w/ them buying your cars?

Stay AWAY from Carmax! I, got a quote on "selling" on one of my previous cars to them...let's just say it was approx. $3000 less than what I got when I sold it privately. If you have a Civic, you should have NO problem whatsoever selling it in the private market for Kelley Blue Book private party value---much HIGHER than trade in value. Well kept Hondas are especially EASY to sell in the private market. Good luck!

Well thanks for the words of kindness and motivation! It's just such a pain in the ass selling in the private sector ya know?

No problem. Good luck if you try to sell privately. I have owned 3 Hondas out of the MULTITUDE of cars that I have owned and they have ALWAYS been the easiest to sell.

What I hate is when someone offers you HALF of what you are asking. I have had to stop myself from laughing before I responded. Had that happen twice...infuriating! Are people really that naive?

I wonder what I would get for my '01 POS Cruiser? It will be on its 4th engine whenever I get it back.

Maybe I will get more for it if I part it out.

Yes, dead serious. Please see the thread called "My POS Cruiser" if you would like the details so that this thread doesn't get hyjacked.
