Sell Us Your Car

We'll buy your car even if you
don't buy ours.®

We'll buy any car

We not only sell used cars, we buy them too, regardless of age, make, mileage, or condition. That makes CarMax the place to start when you sell your car. It all begins with the appraisal...

How CarMax appraisals are different

  • Fast and free—your appraisal can take as little as 30 minutes and you're welcome to watch while you wait.
  • No obligation—we'll buy your car even if you don't buy ours.
  • No appointment needed—bring your car in for an appraisal any time we're open.
  • Our appraisers—they're specially trained to evaluate the cars we buy.
  • The written offer—it's good for seven days at any CarMax location.
  • Fast payment—if you sell us your car, you'll receive a bank draft on the spot!
