That is because CarMax will only sell cars on the front retail lot that are in 100% stock form. When they appraise a car they factor in how much it costs to recondition the car back to stock and if the numbers work they will sell it out front. If not they will sell wholesale in one of their auctions so they offer money based on those factors.
By welding to the subframe you did in fact damage the car by altering the structural integrity if the original product. They would not be able to sell that car as retail.
