Should I sell my 2015 C300 to CarMax or list on Facebook?

You’re making 4 grand easy, why would u even hold it to retail it?

Sell it to CarMax. The time spent jacking with people on marketplace, the risk of someone wrecking it on a test drive, the risk of them coming back if it breaks down shortly after sale, etc. all that time and risk for a couple grand? No, thanks. Take the money, sleep good tonight, and move to the next flip.

If you’re asking us this, you probably won’t be in business long.

Bird in one hand vs two in a bush.

Always take the definite profit.

Waiting is costing you time money miles and potential damage.

I can’t believe you left CarMax. You do know that you have to “sell” the cars to known as a “flipper” right? I shoot for a rockstar number on my flips: $4K, or it’s just not worth it– ANY chance to clear 4k by driving it to collect a check should be done without waiting to ask us. OH, STOP buying german cars to flip unless you’re a tech. You are extremely lucky in this situation….IF you make it back there.

I’d take the 11,000. You could do a lot with 11,000 in the time it could possibly take to sell for 15. More auctions to attend. More profits to be made. Unless you have many cars you’re selling and can afford to let it sit. Sitting is never good for any vehicle, though.

The big question is can you offer financing? If the answer is yes, you should sell it on your own as you will have a greater profit. If you can’t offer financing, than sell it to CarMax. Trying to get more than that out of a private seller on marketplace will be tough because most people don’t have that kind of cash and will need to finance it anyways. People feel better about financing through a dealer than a private seller, so above a certain price point on the marketplace will just sit. So take the CarMax money and run.
