Who would think a few years ago that in future when you are buying a new car once you left the dealership your car GAINS 15 % ?

Seriously! I just sold my Mazda 3 to Carmax when I got my MME and they wrote a check for $10,700 for a 7-year-old car with 70k miles that retailed for under $20k.

EDIT: Dealer only offered $6k as a trade, way below KBB. I did the Carmax online quote while sitting in his office and they gave me exactly the quoted amount.

The insurance company appraised my trashed nissan leaf $1000 higher then I bought it in 2017

Today I sold my 2021 Honda Accord Hybrid, with 3000 miles on it that I purchased new 5 months ago, for $1670 over MSRP. I paid less than MSRP for it, so I actually made money on it after TTL. Hell, I probably still made money after insurance and gas (yay hybrid!).

The only car I have ever made money on!

My MME is 'predicted' to arrive at the dealer in 7-10 days. I can mooch rides with my wife and that gives time for the check to clear into my account.

There's a Chevy dealer here in Austin who will buy your car for $500 more than your Carmax offer and Carmax gave me the highest offer (tried Vroom, Carvana, Givemethevin also).

I'm still disbelieving the whole thing. ?

Difference between purchase and sale price of my '14 2LT Camaro was about $9K at the end. Ended up with about $16K when CarMax bought her. I could have sold her privately for another $5K but did not want to be bothered since I had a ton of stuff going on at the time.

I am waiting for the first time the dealer reaches out to try and purchase the GTPE back.

We just got a trade-in appraisal for our 2016 convertible Mustang we bought used 3 years ago… it’s about $1,000 more than we paid. Not likely to actually get that much when our Mach E arrives in a few weeks, but still… Crazy times indeed ?
