It was dirty inside and out. I took it to CarMax. They offered me $4,000 for it. I got it detailed for about $250. I drove it to a Honda dealership where I was looking at some used Accords. Within about 5 minutes, I was swarmed and they offered me $8,000 on the spot for it, trade-in or no trade-in. I took them up on it. It pays to be clean and shiny!
