RE: Opinions on Carmax trade in price?

I live in the DC metro area too. (Norther VA) and I average between 9 and 13 mpg.
20k sounds pretty good to me. How many miles do you have? I have an 07 as well with 5k miles and will eventually trade it in as well, (but only to buy another mustang or a vette...) I was thinking I would only get about 17k though so this is good news to me...

RE: Opinions on Carmax trade in price?

good that you've done your homework.
The Mazda3 doesn't get 30 mpg unless you baby it at 60 or so. It's a nice car but I found Mazda fudges its mpg #'s. Personally, I'd go with the Honda Civic coupe, maybe a late model one, as I can't stand the looks of the Fit, but if you want to save $$$ and need the 4 doors that could be better for you.
Did you try for a trade-in at Honda? I wondered if that could get you a better deal.
