Ok I have read a lot of the complaints that are on here about CarMax and well after a month of working there I can truly say that they are a complete rip off! First they offer you a so called fair price on your vehicle. The reality is that they offer you way less than...

I purchased a 2015 Jeep Cherokee Limited, trading in my 2013 Hyundai Tucson. For the first 90 days the car was in the shop more than on the road. Carmax agreed to fix some of the body issues and updated the Navigation software. The engine light came on and Carmax could...

I am SERIOUSLY done with CarMax. Over the past 15 years, I have purchased 4 vehicles and have never had an issue as I currently experienced in my last purchase. A few months ago, I purchased a BMW 328i for a second vehicle. The BMW 328i did not have many miles on it...

Very true about CarMax being a huge scam for car buyers. In 2014 or so, I traded in my 2005 Camry for a 2012 Buick LaCrosse hybrid sedan at CarMax in Omaha, NE. Was told I had 5 days to change my mind bring the car back, get mine back and get a refund. I bought it on a...

I bought a 2013 Hyundai Veloster Remix Edition from them a few months ago that had 14k miles on it. I paid $13k for the car.
Not a terrible deal considering the low miles and the previous owner barely driver the thing. You almost never see that low of miles on a car this old. This is the second car I’ve bought from them and my first was a complete dud. The transmission went out 4 times in the first 2 months.
They recognized that they sold me a lemon and got me out of the car and refunded me all the money I spent paying on my deductible for the MaxCare plan. They took care of me and I would recommend them to anyone. I have since taken my brother and mom there to help them pick out a car and I’m taking my girlfriend today. I’m assuming that the guy above that started this post doesn’t understand how buying and selling cars works.
Naturally someone is going to try and buy something cheaper than they are going to sell it for.
Otherwise how would you make any profit. Hopefully this jaded clown has figured out over the last 6-7 years how car buying and selling works.
