Opinions on Carmax ?????

Question

I have always bought new cars & trucks. My wife and I are about to purchase a used 2007 Toyota Sienna LE from our local Carmax. Please share any good / bad experiences you have had with Carmax.

Answer 1

Carmax compared to other used car dealerships are much better. They guarantee their vehicles and clean the engines to make sure that you can tell there are no leaks, flaws and or problems. I would recommend them, though just like any other used car lot you might want to have a mechanic of your own look the vehicle over so that you are 100% sure of what you are getting yourself into.  Every used vehicle has flaws even if you can't notice them right off. That's typically why the owner's trade them in or sell them.

Answer 2

Prepare to pay a rip-off price when if you looked in your local paper,ebay or the craigslist you could get the same car for maybe thousands less.

They may be hassle free and they may make sure the cars work but they are not the best deal nor the cheapest around.

Answer 3

no better than any other

they sell high and buy low

not like they care if you buy a bad car.

Answer 4

i prefer carmax to just a dealership lot  less hassle

Answer 5

Their prices are outrageous!!!!!!

For the same price, you can buy a brand new one!!!!!

I remember seeing a used Camry for $16,900 few years ago.... my brother bought a brand new one for $15,900!!!!!!

Answer 6

Carmax is the king of buy low, sell high. I would never deal with them. Everyone I know that has had the misfortune to deal with them say they will never go back.
