Turns out the cars here to stay. While kbb suggests a value of $13,500 for my Cobalt, Carmax thinks they should give me $6,500 for it, even with everything listed in excellent condition.

Yeah, fuck that.
Nice talking to you too man...wow thats not good you might as well sell it on your own and try getting some more money back. are you still going to get that toyota.? my blower fan just broke on my car...looks like im in for a winter with no heat ... im way too broke to spend $300 for a new one right now.

I mean good god......I have more invested in the car in aftermarket parts than what they offered me. Granted, I had planned on taking a good majority of the stuff off before trading it in had they made me a decent offer.

But shit, i'll pass. The Cobalt is here to stay.

Well duhhhhh.

Domestic cars hold their value worse than an expired gallon of milk.

But still, kbb suggest $13,050 for it.....I think Carmax just tries to rape people.

Yeah that much. They gotta try to resell that car and its useless if its been modified. It will go straight to wholesale im assuming so thats why.

^ Dont rely on KBB to be a source of value. KBB has nothing to do with the sales of cars at all. Whenever I get customer's that complain about the value of their car and mention Kelley Blue Book I tell them to call her up and sell it to her. The true value of your car comes from black book and auction reports. If you want give me the specs on your car and I'll tell you what it's truly worth to either figure out if Carmax was trying to rape you or if they were on point.

BTW before I put these in the for sale section does anybody know someone with a 05+ Mustang GT. I've got a set of Borla axle back exhaust(part #11750) up for sale for $300. They were put on and the guy didnt like how loud they were and he took em off within a day or two.
