I would just require that the person selling me the car doesn't put my information on the title, only the bill of sale. I wouldn't even register it because I am confident I could sell in 3 weeks or less, and just have the new buyer fill out the title.
Fine, I will up my offer to $1,500 over a Carmax offer. Time is money and 1-3 weeks of my trouble is worth $5-10,000 that I have no problem depositing in my kids college accounts for such "hard work". This grueling process of selling a car private party can be eliminated by just selling the car to me, so you can guys can go about your busy lives, lives that do not need such small amounts of cash for the laborious duties of selling a car yourself.
All things being equal, I opine that people buying $80k cars are not going to worry about saving between ~$2k - $6k to get an 18 month old car with 30k miles on it.
I'd opine that anyone who buys a $100,000+ car and then sells it 18 months later for under $80,000 has more money than brains.
CarMax seems to give surprisingly decent offers. I got a better-than-expected quote from them for a Honda Pilot (which I leveraged into a better offer from a private buyer).

Sorry to vent but I think its ridiculous to let a company like CarMax make money off people's laziness. /Rant off
I'm quite certain that many people you call lazy by using CarMax are anything but lazy.
I mean, I don't want to have this in the snippiness thread, but that is where this conversation is headed I imagine. In general, making sweeping generalizations of people is bad. Regardless of severity.
I think its best we drop the topic of who is lazy over the internet and maybe realize we all do things for certain reasons and some of those reasons include saving time or not being knowledgeable about selling a car and don't want to be knowledgeable. There is a huge list of maybe's and why's, but its a silly point if we are going to call a large group of people something without considering why.
EDIT: I will make my own sweeping generalization and imagine most believe they will get more selling the vehicle themselves, but again most people have a reason for what they do or don't do.
Do the actual Signature models have some type of identifier?
After reading the OP, I decided to take my MS 60 to Carmax Irvine as well to see what kind of offer I would get. I received an offer of $62k........about $3-4k less than I thought I would get. I have approx 15k miles on the car.
Here are the options I currently have.
- 21 inch wheels
- ultra hi fidelity sound
- parking sensors
- tech package
- parcel shelf
- supercharger enabled
- tesla all weather floor mats
- CF spoiler
... What do you guys think is a reasonable selling price for my MS with all the above options and mileage? I also have the set of 19s that came with the car.
I found my car for sale by a used car dealer who must have purchased it from CarMax:

$81,995?!?!
Good luck with that.
Also funny how they have it listed as a "Signature" model.

I'm sure they do not take any of this into consideration when appraising the car.
Lately I've been thinking of selling my MS but would def have to go the private party route to get something a reasonable price. What do you guys think is a reasonable selling price for my MS with all the above options and mileage? I also have the set of 19s that came with the car.
Also the 21" wheels have virtually no extra value in the used car market. After hearing horror stories about how easily they are damaged, I would not want 21" wheels so I'd consider that a negative when evaluating a car with 21" wheels. I would factor in money to replace the 21" wheels when making an offer for a car with 21" wheels.
