Need to sell my fr-s

[Areddi]

+1 on Carmax. I sold my truck to them last year for house money for my fiance and I. I did a lot of research, KBB, comparative shopping for what the truck sold for on Autotrader and CL, and they came pretty close. Had I had the time and interest to sell it privately, could have probably squeezed another grand out, but for the hassle, needing safety inspection, etc, it was worth it to go to them.

There was a big misconception about them a few years ago that they payed crap for things. They basically have a monopoly on that service model across the country, and it is worth it for them to just pay well and shift their inventories regionally. I have had a good experience whenever I have dealt with them and would definitely recommend it.

Thanks I am curious what they give you for yours.

Also finally added pics to the for sale thread. Its going in autotrader this week.

Can I ask what was the violation(s) that might lead to the suspension? Both Chappy and Cyrious?

Try listing it on autotrader and/or cars.com. Keep in mind that it's probably difficult to get that close to the new purchase price, even with the low miles and I'm assuming new/like new condition. The Carmax offer probably isn't that bad... be aware that the car's value is going to keep going down, especially with the 2014's right around the corner.

For me, I was in Winchester coming back from a bar and was parked off to the side of the road because a friend of mine had to throw up as I was driving. So I pulled over and out of no where a cop shows up and I end up performing all the test and get charged with a DUI, class 1 misdemeanor. I'm still waiting for my next trial date which is on August 6th, day before my birthday, to find out the outcome. So I just rather get rid of the car now instead of just waiting to see what happens.

Sorry to here the bad news man... Try to ask carmax what they will get it for and also ask other online websites. Tell them that so and so was quoting you 23,500 and so they will try to match it even though they never quoted you that. Try to test them. But best of luck to you! Sorry again bro.

I tried that no luck, I even was looking at buying a different car through them and no budging.

I used to work at CarMax corporate HQ. They won't be able to go any higher (or lower) than what the computer tells them to offer.

Also used to work at their HQ, will second that. The appraisal offer they give is what you'll get, and usually it isn't too shabby by dealer standards.

Chappy, did you sell it yet?
