Default Re: More trade-in bad news

Just a suggestion for you. We were out looking for a car for my daughter a few weeks ago and all the dealers we went to offered her less than Carmax had offered her. When we mentioned it they said they would honor the Carmax numbers if we showed them the Carmax offer to buy her car. One dealer trade in was almost $1,500 less than the Carmax offer. The suggestion is get an offer from Carmax and take it with you when you shop. See what the dealer will give you and then ask him to match the Carmax price.
