I can just say from my experience with Carmax, I had them appraise my previous vehicle.
They offered me $23K. I sold it on trade in for $32K, but I could have easily fetched $33-34K if I would have waited another couple weeks to sell.
I will never go to Carmax again. I seriously considered returning to Carmax after I sold my car on trade to show them how low their offer was. They really acted unrealistic with me. And I wouldn't trust them unless I had no choice.
If you're in a hurry to sell, then just accept the highest amount you are offered.

Don’t type in all capital letters!!!
Typing in all capital letters on the Internet is considered rude because it is difficult to read and comes across as very aggressive (LIKE SHOUTING!). If you take away nothing from this ‘how-to’ other than knowing that typing in “caps” is widely despised on the Internet, consider it time well spent.

I've sold cars to CarMax for well over blue book value, and others they super low balled me and I ended up selling private party or to another dealership.
Shop around at some other Mercedes dealers, sounds like you are in the Southern California area - there are like 20 dealerships out here.
Good luck.

Ahem...it is difficult to compare trade-in values because someone might get a high trade in and then get completely screwed on the car they are purchasing, or financing, etc. The dealership told you to go to Carmax because in most cases they will offer you more. Plus, you can trade to Carmax and not purchase another vehicle. Dealers make their money from selling cars, not buying them back.
Bottom line: get others offers and sell the car to whoever offers you the most money. While you have time, it would be wise to put the car up for sale online, private party will pay more than trade-in.
