I recently sold a Mercedes in order to buy a Lexus. Carmax offered me $3,000 more outright than the Lexus dealer. Obviously I sold the M-B to Carmax and bought the Lexus from the dealer. Many times dealers are not buying your car for their own account. They simply call wholesalers and deduct something for themselves. If I were you, I would do both...let the dealer make a bid and let Carmax make a bid. So sorry for your illness. Good luck to you.
