In general, used car prices are crashing right now. If you're basing your pricing expectations around prices from even a year ago, you'll be disappointed.
You didn't use logic or reason to get into this opinion, I cannot use logic or reason to get you out of it.

I doubt Carmax is going to pay anything close to what you think its worth - they are hurting right now with the current car market. You never know though.

What guide can be used to figure a selling price for my 2011 Chevy Avalanche. I looked at KBB and it seems low, although I am partial to my truck, $9700 to $12300 KBB. Contact Carvana, you might be surprised.

I see several different "we'll buy your car" ads on TV. Using it as a trade-in is always available, but you'll get the worst price for it that way. Just for kicks, advertise it as $25,000 - OBO. No matter what you get offered, you can always claim you have a higher one.

Given the GM transmission issues and fuel/cylinder management issues, don’t be surprised by low ball offers.

You last two posters realize this thread is six months old, right? Chances are, his surgery has healed and the Avalanche has long since melted away.

Ok, I should have updated this story in March. I put a price of $16,000 on it and put it out at the end of my driveway on Friday afternoon April 7th. Put it back in the garage that night. Saturday morning I was driving it back out to the end of the driveway and a guy was driving by with an older black Avalanche. He stopped, backed up and pulled in the driveway. Looked it over and bought it. Never even took it for a drive.
I was happy for a while but then my new truck had problems so I am still without a truck to this day. A couple sad stories this year with purchasing a new truck...

Post it on Fakebook Marketplace @ $18k.
Lots of pics and details... you will get lots of offers and hits. (Mexicans, Muslims, Asians and Libs will offer $3k... and then never actually show-up)
In the end (week or three) take the best cash offer or trade that you get.
Otherwise, drive it to CarMax and be happy with the $4,500 offer.
If you are not actively engaging EVERY enemy you encounter... you are allowing another to fight for you... and that is cowardice... plain and simple.
