And I'm sure it has a happy new owner! Everyone makes ~10% and the owner doesn't have to wait months. Win-win-win. Crazy times, these be.

Wow that is crazy!

Seems they put a heck of a lot more value on the 4-doors vs the 2-doors and aren't paying much for some of the extra features.
This^. I got an appraisal from carmax at essentially MSRP today. They don't like 90s with steelies I'll tell you that much and very little in the way of accounting for all of the options, half of which they missed, air suspension, adaptive cruise, hotspot, 11 in screen, cold climate pack, leather etc, which as anyone who specs these out knows some options add a significant amount to the cost of a build, I think I could've had a 54k build and been offered the same 59k, I don't think they know how to appraise these things tbh. The 110 SE they have on the lot with 2k miles and smaller screen they want 96k for, I mean it's nice p400 and 4 doors adds what 14k to the build? So I was thinking based upon that I'm going to be offered at least 65k and perhaps close to 70k. Nope, 59,990. I was dumbfounded, but there others I can float it to, vroom et al. I honestly love the thing and hate to get rid of it but my kids are just having too much of an issue getting into the back, the youngest has a limp so I have to keep him in front now and the oldest has a bad ankle that needs xrays, both kids 'issues' developed after I took delivery in June. Sad story. Anyway, the guy at carmax explained one of the reasons they offered lower than expected is the defenders aren't moving. I felt like saying well duh, 96k for a 110SE trim isn't moving, what a shock. lol

I think I posted a couple after taking delivery. Nothing recent though. I'd want to get the interior detailed before posting anything. Not that it's super dirty inside, it's mid-winter though so there's grubbiness around the cupholders and some saltiness on the rubber mats. I should've had it detailed before going to carmax, it probably didn't matter much but as a rule I do have my cars detailed before any kind of trade-in / appraisal situation.
