Selling my car

In these times? I have never traded in a car, but I ight be tempted.
When we got rid of Mrs. George’s 328, the dealer offered $4K less than CarMax. He didn’t believe me, so I showed him the offer. He matched it.
They said they would buy my A6 as well, Lowballled me by $6K. I showed him the CarMax offer and they said they couldn’t match it.

How closely do they check on the car? I have a friend that is looking to sell, but she tells me that the car runs a bit "rough". Does carmax take a mechanic to look over before they buy?

It doesn't matter. They will examine the car and give you a price, in writing, that's good for 7 days. If you can get a better price elsewhere, go for it.
In my opinion, the offer, as I said - in writing, is worth a lot of money, especially when considering the hassle of private sales and/or trade-ins.
D3 had a Hyundai Elantra that she wanted to trade in. The usual suspects (Edmunds, KBB) gave hear a fair price that she could expect. She took it to CarMax and they offered her $1000 more than the other guys' estimates. Guess what she did.

But what is the "street price" if you buy that 2013 car today? CarMax wouldn't buy it if they couldn't sell it for more.

Mines a 2013 with 60k.
Bet they list it for over 10,5.
It was under 16 (before tax) new, EIGHT years ago.
