Default Has anyone sold a car to CARMAX in connecticut?

I want to sell my car there if I can't sell it privately and was wondering whether I would get a decent value for my car.

I dont know anything about them as im in Maine, But a general rule for you if your trying to sell a 2008 model to any car place prepare to get burned, you will prob lose 15-20% if not more of what you paid for it. Most places will rape you on new car resales.

I'm sure you won't get what you want, but my "captain obvious" suggestion would be that you might be able to get an estimate by just calling them up. A ballpark idea might keep you from wasting your time on showing up for them to see it in person.

My friend sold his g35 to them and said they offered him the most out of all the dealers he went to. I'd check it out and see what they offer you
