Need help with car max

[zalzala]

Hi guys I was thinking of getting a quote from car max any idea

[jmcgxx]

I recently sold a 97 Jeep and got a quote from Car Max. Depending on the value/age of the car you will probably get below wholesale value. In my case I got a $600 quote on a 97 Jeep Grand Cherokee in good condition. They take older cars to an auction and try and at least break even.
KBB value for a trade in was $2050. I ended up selling it for $1,800. Downside it took me 3 months to sell.

^ As above, I ended up selling the car on my own. You should also know that it's tax season, cars sell much easier between now and end of April.

Good luck.

You will get a bit more from the dealer on trade-in...at least I did on 2 different occasions. But I did get the quote from carmax to keep in my back pocket from a negotiating standpoint. If you are not trading in and just need cash soon, carmax is a good way to go.
