The CarMax offer was stupidly high. So I went to hear them out. It was a ruse.
The place is big. I highly doubt an estimator would be incentivized to come up with fake mechanical problems to go low-ball people after someone else put out an artificially high estimate online. Its not a used car lot on the corner.
