That's a very impressive number. You know my background in the business, they offered you "Dealers average retail" for that car. Based on the year, it's not eligible for conventional financing, so it makes it hard for most dealers to move. Take the economy and unstable fuel prices and the odds are stacked against you. If CarMax offered you more than 10K, honestly, you need to grab that check. It's a strong offer. I know your wife kept it in the garage, and did not bang on it. It IS a clean looking piece of "American Muscle". I have my eyes on a couple play toys, but thought I'd offer the money to someone I know. I'm flexible, but not 10k flexible. Especially when I know the extent of damage that was done a few years ago. Not trying to bash at all, so please don't take me wrong. My offer stands and if the other deals never cough up the money, give me a shout and maybe we can put something together. From KBB - Based on Person to Person. Wholesale will push this down a bit.

The Private Party Value assumes the vehicle is sold "As Is" and carries no warranty (other than the continuing factory warranty). The final sale price may vary depending on the vehicle's actual condition and local market conditions.
