The only car I ever traded in to CarMax was very old. When we bought our Toyota Matrix there in 2012, we traded in a 1997 Subaru Legacy wagon. They offered us $700. Given that this car was 15 years old with 177,000 miles on it, and it had a worn out U-joint/driveshaft and transmission mount, I'd say it wasn't a bad deal. The engine ran solid but another timing belt replacement was due in 3,000 miles, and even without that, the worn out U-joint and driveshaft were one unit and replacement was more than the value of the car.
Thank you all for posting up your suggestions of where to sell. I have not had to do it since that purchase in 2012 and I see there are more options now than there used to be. I am making a list for when my turn comes up, as we will be getting rid of the Matrix when we get the Tesla.
