Question From Dave: I own a 2004 Toyota Matrix 67700 miles. My car-buying strategy is to sell a car when it is not TOO old, but not too new. My 5-6 year old Matrix’s warranty just ran out so I decided to start at CarMax to see how much I could get for it. I wouldn’t actually sell it that low, but it would give me a starting point for negotiating. It came in at $7,000. I am sure I can get the car detailed and try to sell it on eBay/Craigslist for $8,500. Worst case scenario I will tgo back to CarMax in a month with my tail between my legs.

Question From Tim: Hi, I’m looking to trade in my pre-certified 04 BMW X3 3.0i, in excellent condition, 36K miles. Since it is technically over four years old, apparently my BMW dealership cannot re-certify it, although if I sell it to a private party the pre-certification status will transfer. Accordingly, what is a fair trade-in value for this vehicle? Thanks, and great site, very helpful!

Queen of the Road: Hi Tim. Welcome to our blog. Below are the wholesale prices for that car.
