has anyone purchased a car from this company? and why? i recently stopped at a local car max dealer and was impressed with the choices. any info of past dealings would help.
thanks

 

I've sold a car there, shopped there, and have a number of friends who have purchased cars from CarMax. Dealing with them is an easy and painless process. You'll almost certainly pay more than you would for a used car in a private party sale, but it's a fairly simple operation and the cars they sell are usually in very good condition.

 

My brother worked there for a couple years and I bought my S2000 there. Their pricing is no haggle so you have to be careful. Usually, their prices are a little higher than what you'd pay if you haggled at another dealership, but once in a while you'll find a good deal. Dealing in the volume that they do, they do make pricing mistakes. I was shopping for a truck a few years back and was checking their website daily. They had a '99 Chevy Z71(V8, 4wd) but the details listed it as a base model V6 2wd with a price to match, about $6000 below what it was worth. By the time I got to the lot later that day, it was sitting in the "sold" line.

 

My father bought his S2000 there and had a good experience and got a great deal. So when I was ready to buy a new car i did the same thing. I even financed the car through them because they gave me a better interest rate than my credit union. Overall it was a good experience and i would definetly go back.

 

Their 5 day return policy really is no hassle. I bought an Accord there and it would grind on hard upshifts so I decided to return it. It took all of about 10 minutes. They also offered 2k more for my Accord than the dealership. The salesman even helped remove my sound equipment.

 

thanks to all. but being fromm nj/ny now in ca. this no haggle thing is no fun.
