I have a 58K miles needs nothing '01S and I don't think I could get $16.5k for it and that would be spring time selling. I see real selling prices like that all the time. Mostly private sellers. You don't get the convenience of the dealers and the seller isn't as adept at giving you the warm fuzzies as the salesman is. But keep in mind CarMax made $2100 on every car they sold this year in a tough market so there has to be a gap between private seller and reseller. Maybe to get a better car, or a better price, or both.
