[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I tried to sell my car to Car max and they low balled -- really low. I posted it on Craig's list with asking price doubling their offer and it was sold in 1 hour.

Not sure how they make their money - they are not even close to reasonable.[/quote]

I was offered $300 for my 10 year old car in March. It's pretty perfect with no known issues (obviously age and 100k miles, but still). I sold it on Craigslist for 4k. I'm still a little offended by the $300 offer. [/quote]

300$?? Lol. Maybe they meant 3000$[/quote]

Or maybe they meant $30k and the poster got far less at $4k.[/quote]

No it was $300. They print out the offer for you so I didn’t hear incorrectly [/quote]

I had a similar experience selling to Carmax...lowball offers on two vehicles so sold on CL for much more earlier in the spring timeframe.  If selling expect Carmax to offer 22-25% lower than retail.    However...we had a great experience purchasing a new Toyota from Carmax Laurel 10 years ago ....and yes the price was very competitive...we are savvy car buyers so did not get taken.  From other comments looks like Carmax sells for higher prices now. [/quote]
