I recently took both of my vehicle Im trading in on my 2012 and they offered me 20% less than what the dealership is giveing me. Plus I wouldn't get the tax break. If ur just getting rid of it, sell it your self.

My pick up I am selling has a blue book balue of $15,600. and auction value of $12,000. and carmax offered me 9000. NOT!!!

I'm getting $20,000 for my jeep and they offered me $16,000. NOT!!!!

Carmax will only give you the amount (or less) you would get as a trade-in from the dealer, basically wholesale value. You would lose the big tax advantage if you were to sell it outright vs trading it in. If you plan on buying a new vehicle, don't use Carmax or you should sell it yourself for maximum $$$. It may be more hassle, but you will get more money.

Are those ACE sliders??? I'll take them... shipping would be a killer to Ontario Canada I'm guessing.

Pull off the mods and keep or sell them you would be giving them away trading in. Carmax actually gives you more trade in value than most dealers. I would guess at least 18k. You are much better off selling out right and getting top dollar
