both carmax and carvana's offers are only good for 7 days. i guess you could keep going back for a new offer, but personally, i've got better things to do with my time(carmax generally takes about 15-30 minutes for the appraisal every time), and if i'm that serious about getting rid of a car, i'm happier with the extra cash and no vehicle. there's nothing about the selling process or salesmen that gives me pride or makes me want to hang around.

while none of us have a glass ball, i don't forsee the vehicle market changing for at least 6-12 months out currently with the current situation.

sales of everything historically falls a little flat up until march or april, as everyone recoups from the holidays, and tax season, so usually the best time to sell IMO is the spring. it's also historically when i've bought nearly all my vehicles...

but other than that, i don't think you're going to get much better pricing after fall-- anywhere else in the country is thinking of storing sports cars for protection from the winter elements, and few like storing a brand new toy before they get to use it.
