Default went and got my car appraised....

so.. i took my car to carmax to see what they say its worth... they say they can only give me 12,400 for my car and they cannot sell it to the public because of the mods, they would have to sell it in private action.... the amount they said had me blown off my feet just about since most other stangs are going for 16k..... ive only got 32k miles....

Well Carmax needs to make money as well, they are not going to give you full retail price for anycar, and unfortunatly your mods actually make the car worth less to them or any dealer.
