You should still get a sales tax credit which you can use on your next vehicle purchase. Usually good for one full year. I believe that works in most states.

Not in Florida.

I had two car-related experiences there.

#1 - I had a 2002 Acura RSX-S and They only wanted to give me something like 14,200 for it. I declined and sold it about a month later for 15,500 to a private party.

#2 - I bought a 2000 Subaru Outback (from a Buick dealer) in December. I drove the hell out of it, blew the head gasket (I think - it was overheating and losing oil but not TOO badly), I also cracked the windshield on a jump on some farmland doing about 65 mph haahh... I took it to a car dealer In about April to try to trade it in on a new car and they offered about 6,500. I took it down the street to Carmax and they offered me 8,500. I took that and ran for the hills. I only paid 9,500 for the car and that was before the broken windshield and possibly bad head gasket (not to mention about 5,000 miles and 4 months of basically rally car rampaging).

Overall, I think Carmax can be a good option both as a buyer or a seller. You just have to see what deals you can work.

Depends on how many sellers like you they get!
