+1 you never know. I had a POS Subaru that barely ran. Carmax offered me $3000 and I took that money and ran. Sometimes the time and hassle you save with Carmax and similar is worth the cost.


Agreed. Our dealer offered a reluctant $500 for trade in but we took it to Carmax and got $2400. Maybe Carmax is a better deal if you're trying to sell a hoopty.

It's usually not a "small amount" you're giving up. It's usually a grand or more.

The overwhelming majority of people are good so I wouldn't et too worked up about it. Just take normal precautions.

I bought a Jeep private sale recently. But, I brought my teenage daughters with me so I doubt the woman selling it felt threatened.

It would be great if you have a friend or two, preferably Male who can accompany you when selling directly.

Good luck!

Even for newer car, Carmax is a big rip off. No gain without pain. I have always sold my cars privately for a lot more than carmax was offering.
