A close friend I know worked for car max for 2 years then they run the cars through greater tampa auto auction where your vette will do around 30k wholesale.They know that vettes real wholesale value is higher then the trade in value they book out at . carmax tries to get each car for atleast 500$ to 2000$ less then what it will bring at auction . Some of the real garbage cars with frame damage and other problems they run it through their own once a month carmax auction on the backside of the dealership becuase they dont have to annouce frame damage like they would if it when through a real auction. They are really assholes. I think you will see when you try a deal with them .
BTW let just for kicks pm me or tell me what they " offered" as the buy your car cash written offer price.

So you pay $2,000 for your cheap kumo and falkin tires you wrap c-5 vettes in ? That only shows your stupidity and carmax's . Around christmas you had a black c-5 for sale with new falkin tires that cost around 650$ a set for the 18 rear and 17 front .
Kelly blue book ,edmuds and nada are not geeks that sit around writing on computers they are leaders in the industry that keep people from being ripped off by dealers like you that insult them with below rough book trade in value for really nice cars.
I sold a car to carmax back in 2004 a 96 mustang I purchased at the police impound sale off 34th street. It took a front hit i cut off the front rad supports with a plasma cutter and migged on a new front .The car had frame damage anyone could tell by just looking at the inner frame rails . I blended the paint but it still was not a great match actually the car looked butcherd It got popped at st pete auto auction and arbitraded for frame damage by the auto auction inspectors. So it was flagged .So We took it to car max and you numb skulls found no frame damage and bought it from us. 3 weeks later my friend that works ar car max i wont say what one st or tampa will call him "mrx "said you guys sold it retail on your lot interesting huh?
Do us a favor try and justify your carmax lowballing to another forum becuase tamparacing does not want to hear your bullshit " oh it needs windshield wiper blades and tires its gonna cost us 3.000$ to reburbish it" save that for your idiot customers ! You lure into selling you a car due to your false advertising" we know what your car worth" your tv ad should say we know what your car is worth thats why we pay less then trade in value rough book so we are ashured to make a few grand on every car we sell at our dealer auction.
