Yep, this afternoon they offered to buy it for $17,400 or give me the same in trade value. It's an auto SE with every option including Nav and it stickered at $31,800 or $32,800. I owe more than the $17,400 offered today, but I find their offer intriguing since the local Saab dealer offered me $14,500 in trade this morning. KBB, NADA, and Edmunds all suggest trade-in should be $17,000 and retail should be $20,000. Is CarMax crazy and only looking to make $3,000 on my Max or are the local dealerships here trying to make $5,000+ on me? I believe the latter, but you never know.

 

they're probably trying to sell you one of their overpriced cars when you trade it in...

 

at carmax they will buy your car for the price they give you and you do not have to buy anything in return...

 

Carmax are outrageously overpriced so they can in fact offer higher buy prices than other dealers.

 

Saab dealer ??? Damn <smack> whaaa in da helll ? I got offered 14500 last year with only 70K miles, now I got 90 I think mine is worth around 11K dollars at the most now. I was going to trade up to a 97 240SX 5spd.
