That's fair too, but too quick for me. My wife and I are planning on purchasing a second home next year so we want to finance the F and keep more money in our savings due to that. We need to go apply for a bank loan. If you weren't in a rush I totally would be serious. SFP is my preferred color choice.

Thats a decent quote, I did that about a yr ago with CarMax after my car (08) was repaired from a rear impact and needed the rear bumper replaced. I wanted to see if it lost any trade-in value and they told offered me 32K with no deduction for the accident so take that for whats its worth.

I think the Carmax quote is pretty good.

About to take my f to Carmax too. I think that's a pretty decent deal. Which Carmax did you take it to? Mine is obsidian, excellent condition, and a little lower mileage. Hopefully I get a better offer.

Looks like I'll be calling the irvine store tomorrow! Your car is exactly the mileage, color, and price range I've been looking for.

When asked I was told it will sell for just over $40K. That will be their no haggle price, meaning they will not negotiate.
