Auction prices for your car. The auction they referred to as a dealer only auction were both new and used car dealers go to sell and buy vehicles. They pay both a buy and sell fee at these auctions. Now having said that, Carmax only allows this average $$ for your...

"Car max misrepresents itself" Car max does not really take your car as a trade in... They buy cars and then if you want to buy from them you pay taxes on the full amount, but they only offer you wholesale/auction trade in value. And they stated that the price will...

You would think that referrals and customer satisfaction for the new purchase of vehicles was more important to them than lining their pockets and trying to screw over existing customers who want to sell back a vehicle they had previously brought from at CarMax I...

Isn't it comical how they feed customers with bs! The VW market is soft, yet the ones they sell are highly priced. They always have an answer to justify them. I see why so man...
Everything they sell is bought at wholesale auto auctions, and most cars that end up at auto auctions are big dealership trade-ins that don't meet big dealership standards. The good stuff stays at big dealerships. The money they offer you for your trade-in is based on...

Dont forget the hidden "Appraisal Cost Recovery" fee they've added to all appraisals. The MAX added this around 2010 and hits each appraisal offer for an additional 10-15% ded...
They offered me $26,000 on a car with a Kelly Blue Book trade-in value of $30,000. Also, they drove the car without my knowledge. If I had known they were going to drive it, I would have gone with them. I felt totally "worked" at that place. They're just another used...
