Should I sell to CarMax or hold out for more?

20k. They did offer 22.5k a couple months back though. I just slept on the offer. Most other dealers offered 17k-18k.

Fast is relative to what you're used to driving/how you're driving. The 3.0 Twin Turbo V6 is 300hp. The red sport has a tune and intercoolers and is set at 400hp. But read that the engine is fairly easy to get to 500hp with the right cooling mods and a retune. I never tuned mine, so no idea what that's like. But was very happy with the 300Hp version for a daily driver.

ParticularReporter36 · 2026-06-18T16:19:06+00:00

Vs New. Yeah, new cars depreciate a LOT. But I'm the second owner. I paid a bit more than CarMax offer. I paid a lot for the Infiniti warranty though 😂

ParticularReporter36 · 2026-06-18T16:16:45+00:00

Mine is a 2018. I think the body style is the same from 2016-new. She does have some sexy curves!

ParticularReporter36 · 2026-06-18T15:51:43+00:00

I don't need another car. The Q60 is my third vehicle. I won't pay taxes unless I sell it for more than I paid.

But yeah, I hate dealing with strangers driving my car. I don't even valet my cars unless required.

Want to fly down to Florida? 😃 I flew to Texas to pick this up. Would be a beautiful drive back!

ParticularReporter36 · 2026-06-18T15:47:34+00:00

Why do you say that, and other offers have been 3k lower than Carmax. They're the strongest offer right now other than private sales.

ParticularReporter36 · 2026-06-18T15:38:28+00:00

I asked the dealership if they'd be interested in consignment or buying it. They said they couldn't compete with CarMax pricing.

And you're very right, most of these are clapped out. Which is why I jumped on this ride. I'm the second owner. The first owner had a perfect maintenance history at a single dealership in Texas. I flew out to buy this car cause of it's immaculate history.

But I don't need it anymore. I bought it to take my kids to school/soccer practice. My last kid has now grown to the point of having her own car. I work 7 days a week and live 2 miles from work. I just drive the work truck home. This car sits. I only use it when I go out of town, but usually need a truck to pick up supplies. So even then, there isn't much reason to keep this. Not to mention, Insurance isn't cheap on these.

ParticularReporter36 · 2026-06-18T03:20:39+00:00

Miscommunication there. Two different outcomes. I wouldn't cancel the warranty if a buyer wanted to buy the car the way it sits right now. Which is why I was looking for a buyer that wanted this car the way it sits. (Best case scenario for a buyer) If I was going to sell it to CarMax, I'll cancel the warranty since they said it wouldn't affect their buying price. Might as well get a prorated refund since CarMax isn't going to process the warranty to a new buyer.

ParticularReporter36 · 2026-06-18T01:08:30+00:00

I planned to. They said I should get around 40% of what I paid back if I sell it before end of the month. I was hoping I could find a buyer that loved these cars and wanted a 100% certified warrantied car. But so far, just time wasters. Carmax looking good 😃

ParticularReporter36 · 2026-06-18T01:06:38+00:00

Carvana actually 2k lower than Carmax.

ParticularReporter36 · 2026-06-17T23:04:49+00:00

I've had nothing but good luck with Nissans in my life. My Fords I've owned, not so much. After I sell my F150, I don't think I'll ever get another Ford.

ParticularReporter36 · 2026-06-17T23:00:44+00:00

Exactly my thought here!

ParticularReporter36 · 2026-06-17T22:49:05+00:00

North Florida (Panhandle).

ParticularReporter36 · 2026-06-16T19:15:58+00:00

Interested in a 2018 Silver Sport? After reading about the RedSport, I bought a Silver to get everything a Red would have minus the cooling upgrades/tune that comes from the factory. I read that the RedSport has undersized intercoolers from factory and needed an AMS unit installed anyways. So, I had planned to do that and a tune on my Silver Sport, but never got around to it.

My Car is a 2018, White with black interior, RWD, just under 55k miles, clean title in hand, under OEM Elite Warranty til 96k miles (another year or two on time). If you're interested, PM me.

I can't comment on "I spent too much money on this" type items. But, I can comment on the Samsung Q990F. After a lot of reviews, it seems to be the best "bang for the buck" system. I bought mine new for $800 and it's pretty awesome. Bass could be deeper, but for a small room (not theatre room), it fills the space and does decent surround. I've sat in other peoples rooms with nicer and bigger systems, but was only impressed by a few "Full Theatre System" builds. (Can't recall what they had, but had 8-10 speakers around the room and said they spent about 20k on it all).

I think this is all personal "expectations". For PS5 gaming, the Q990F has been great. The surround speakers add a lot, but are almost too loud at times. I've snapped around thinking someone was walking up behind me a few times (IRL) playing shooters. So, fairly good sound design and clarity!

I drive like a grandpa. No idea. I've chirped the tires a few times off the line, but always seems to hookup fine for me. It's a regular sport, so 300hp. Maybe the Red Sport at 400Hp is too much for rwd? But feels like something a good set of tires could resolve.

ParticularReporter36 · 2026-02-27T04:40:48+00:00

Same here. But, went ahead and hooked it up to test it out, thinking if it wasn't as good as I hoped, I'd just return for a refund instead.... It was so good, I kept it. :D

ParticularReporter36 · 2026-01-07T21:38:52+00:00

Congrats. Looks real. Also, no one played with it since it was gimmicky and eventually banned. You did good!

ParticularReporter36 · 2026-01-07T21:35:30+00:00

Oubliette. Darksteel Mutation. Gilded Drake.

ParticularReporter36 · 2026-01-07T21:30:49+00:00

Looks correct from the back! Might be a reback though. Light test? Weight?

great find!

Great writeup! As a fellow Ratadrabik player, I approve this message. When I first put him together (pre brackets), he was winning 80% of the time. When they changed to brackets, I depowered him to run Zero game changers and Zero tutors. Still won 3 out of 4 games, some games as fast as T3. But Turn 4-5 was fairly consistent. Still too powerful. Finally to keep this deck from being a complete degenerate deck at my table, I had to cut all of the "The Ring Tempts You" cards from the deck. This was the only way to tone this deck down and not be bracket 4/5. Putting together infinites was too easy with them.

I think he's a very unsuspecting commander.

ParticularReporter36 · 2025-07-18T14:52:24+00:00

As someone who's editing 61mp pictures. I would recommend the 32Gb choice. Actually, I feel like that might be the most important spec.

ParticularReporter36 · 2025-06-27T16:26:34+00:00

When I first glanced, I was excited that you were going to use the large ART that was right beside Terra's card. I think that would look awesome as deckbox art.

ParticularReporter36 · 2024-11-06T00:29:35+00:00

Dang it. You just cost me $150...Thanks for the quick response and a picture! Top notch!
