And since you seem to enjoy buying cars from this neck of the woods, I have name and number I can give you...

We'd like to see your BMW M3
Your car is pretty rare, and our online offers are based on recent appraisals of similar cars. For your 7-day offer, stop by your local CarMax.




I guess I'll need to drive it over.

CarMax also recently beat Carvana with its online bid for my 2. (By 2k.)

FWIW, I get that occasionally. Usually, reentering the info will provide a number.

This will also get you a Carmax offer:
https://www.edmunds.com/appraisal/

The number is rarely the same, but usually within $1,500 of carmax.com site

Wow. Weird and annoying. Because it's a stick?

Are you talking about the wheels ? You can get a base with 19/20 ... would you consider the base model or just the 'S' ?
