I'm another that would agree with carmax. They offered higher amounts for both our 2001 trans am and 2006 corvette when we traded them for our Camaro. Recently we ordered a new 2014 Camaro 1LE and even the manager of the dealer told us to go to carmax first to get a quote before coming to trade in our car for the new one. Typically the dealer will be lower than carmax. So yeah, you may save yourself a 150 mile trip but you also might lose out on thousands. It's a risk as you might go to carmax only to find out that the dealer is willing to give you the same. Maybe for the best thing would be to try 2-3 local dealers to see what you get, then go to carmax. That way you only have to make the trip once. If carmax beats the dealers quote then sell, if not just go back to the dealer with the highest bid. Better than going to carmax, then the dealers, only to have to go back to carmax.
