You may find you have negative equity. It's common on 2-year old Vettes.

with Carmax, you can't have a bank note on the car, it has to be a clear title.

Try autotrader.com. Instant listing with your photos. Plenty of locals or people nearby that might be looking to buy and can see the car right away. I sold my early '05 in June of 2006 for a good price. Good luck.

What color interior does it have? Can you post up or send me some pics? I may be interested.

I would try autotrader online.I sold an 06 2LT A6 with glass top only for 42,800 (asking price 43900) .It had less than 10000 miles, but it sold the first weekend.
The forum would have beat me up if I tried to get that on here.

i agree, less educated buyers (ebay, autotrader or local to you) will give you a better shot with your pricing. Very similar car with more options than you listed was finally sold here last week for 36500 after a few weeks on the market.

there are probably low ballers mixed with bargain hunters here, but other similar cars for sale here set the forum market. It has been said many times, but cars priced well here, sell quickly. Good luck

If you search www.carmax.com for your same car -- you will know right away what they are selling for ( then estimate what their profit margin is ) - they have a very aggressive ( low ) price to sell the cars. They would buy it fairly fast (once you can work on clear title )

Go ahead and be one of the many many that are over priced on www.autotrader.com or www.cars.com - and pay to list and never sell

Vets depreciate at 14% a year - do the math. How you bought it well, or the pain is greater. Do not buy a Cadillac - for the most part they depreciate at 27% a year.

I have sold two cars to CarMax that had loans on them. They just pay it off and you pay the difference if you have negitive equity. In my case I had positive equity and they cut me a check.
