I know, I'm just stating this as a basis for knowing what your lower limit is for what the car is worth if attempting to sell it.
We can stare at Craigslist or forum postings all day, but unless final sale price is posted like what realtors do with houses, there's no way to know what the actual price is, only best guesses.
I never took my car to Carmax because I had a target sell price that I wanted (and got), but for anyone asking a general "what is my car worth", a trip to Carmax provides the bottom end of the estimation. And if you solicit prices and people give you a range of estimation that's similar to what Carmax is offering, I may very well be inclined to take that offer as opposed to dealing with the hassle of a private party sale.
