I wonder if this is something that changed by model year. My sills seem smooth and shiny. I doubt it is worth going back to Carmax and talking to them though. The offer they made says, "We don't want your car."

The previous owner of my car asked Carmax for an estimate before selling it to me. I found it with the maintenance receipts he gave me. It was about $1000 less than I paid for the car, but it didn't seem to be a blatantly low-ball offer like you received. It made me wonder if I paid too much even though I paid less than the private-owner sales prices on all the on-line pricing sites.

Of course the car has depreciated quite a bit in the last 3 years and the market is very soft right now.
