I tell you this - I told the dealer I would sell my F16 to Carmax when visiting him 2 days prior to my M50i delivery. They knew they had offered me $7k less than CM (told them the number).
So i went to CM in PA (the closest to me) and 1 hr later drove away with the check (their bank is Wells Fargo). Deposited it and full amount was available on the next day.
On Friday I come to pick up my car and the guys goes "we'll give you what you wanted". But it was too late. And kinda sad since I had lost this $$$ in taxes as trade-in.
My point is, if your trade-in is in excellent shape and can be put on a lot instead of going straight to Manheim, ask your dealer if they could match Carmax.
Trust me - they can. And if they say no - it's just weird and your guy is a lazy-ass morron (excuse my French).
