How does buying from Carmax work? 

I once bought a car from Carmax and opted for a 3 year extended warranty (for $300). I’m glad I did, because just 4 months before the warranty expired, the car began burning through a quart of oil every week. I took it in for repairs and Carmax did over $1k worth of engine work and only charged me a $25 deductible, plus I got a free loaner car until my car was ready. Worth every penny.

Carmax is my go to place if I need to buy another used car. They beat traditional dealerships hands down! No hassle, no pressure. They even held the car for me before I arrived and let me test drive it. The sales rep was cool, he went over the warranties without pressuring me, let me pay cash and I was out with my new car in no time. The transaction was quick and easy.

Bought one car from Carmax for teen daughter. Generally very satisfied with the experience. It was transferred from one state away for no charge. We test drove the car for only 30 minutes. It had an air leak where the steering column passed through to the engine compartment. This should have been detected before we were permitted to test drive the car but it was fixed promptly. We used the carmax financing to expidite the purchase but daughter refinanced to a lower rate within 30 days. Carmax even provided permanent plates and registration. We bought the extended warranty and it was even honored at the Chevy dealer when we needed it.

Thank you fod this, im 48 and never bought a car before.. Like you i don't want the haggle and hassle. You did it exactly as im hoping to. Ty sir

Based on my experience. Carmax apparently does inspect their vehicles and make necessary repairs. Their 30 day return policy, for a full refund, is unique to used car dealers. That is probably the best reason to do business with them. On the negative side. Carmax significantly overvalues their cars. They also significantly undervalue trade in vehicles. Their non negotiable pricing benefits them more than the customer, IMO.

Far better than putting up with crooked dealer scumbags! Great video!

Bought my current car from the CarMax in Plano, TX. Great car in excellent condition. What a joy! They were so nice and so to the point. Will buy my next car from CarMax.

I just purchased a 2020 Jeep Wrangler from Camax. Had it transferred from Minnesota to Oregon. Paid the $1400 (gulp), but was completely satisfied with the transfer process. It took about ten days for the vehicle to arrive and for the inspection to be completed upon arrival. Because most of my paperwork was completed online, the in-store process on the day of my purchase was quick and easy. I was literally out the door with my new car in just over two hours. I arrived at my Carmax location here in Oregon after work at 7PM and was literally the last customer to leave the dealership that night at 9PM. A truly great experience all around. Thanks so much for sharing...

Your Carmax experience is exactly the same as mine. I have bought two vehicles from them and am extremely pleased. Yes, they are more expensive but worth it.

Thanks Dave for the video

Great video!! Thank you!!!!

Hey! I just finished watching ur video and let me tell you that YOU DID AMAZING MAN great vlog it was for sure entertaining, you deserve more likes and subscribers! Keep it up!

Thanks for letting me know about the processing fee so I can be prepared… thanks

I have bought and sold many times from Carmax including my current car .I have been happy every time. Carmax holds most of its paper and there rates tend to be high so I generally just pre arrange financing . I am not sure you get the best price but its very transparent and they dont care if you buy a 20,000 or 50,000 dollar car

No doubt there are some buyers who like the usual dealership games. I'd rather have a serious medical procedure.

Great to see YT videos from another person from OK

Credit union is the way to go and most of them have a great extended warranty,don't buy the dealer warranty!

We bought a nice 2018 Explorer Limited at the end of 2018 from CARMAX.High mileage car , but clean.For what I saved on the high mileage ,I bought a great warranty.Very happy with CARMAX . ILL never buy a new car again

👍 thanks again!! :)

dealers made you think like this and I agree

Great video, I've sold cars to carmax, but never bought one. I can no longer afford a new car, so I must go to the used market, but I loathe traditonal dealers.

You have a beautiful house!!!

Mr. D, happy to be along for the Midlife Crisis. I myself am having a Midlife Crash, no pun intended (hopefully 😂)

Much easier than that Velocitor! What a story!

Just ordered my dream car! Waiting for it to ship from FL to Norman OK!

cool video bro I like it in that current situation how long did it take to arrive

I just bought a truck from carmax yesterday and they call me today and said they had a glitch in their system and had already sold it to someone else. They refunded me my transfer fee that day and they paid my transfer fee on another vehicle. I was irritated but they made it right and we are still buying a vehicle from them.

I'm buying a car from the west . I live on the east . Our cars get hammered by the weather.

Yeah, but how long did you have to wait for your shipping inspection because I’m going on three days and they said it would’ve been done by now.

The only sure thing about Carmax is you will pay too much. A couple of years ago, I purchased a new Toyota Corolla for my daughter. The local Carmax had a same year Corolla with a lesser trim and with 11K miles on sale for its no haggle price which was $1,200 more than the price I paid for the brand new Corolla. Carmax is good only for people easily separated from their money.

To get another vehicle I will have to insist it be checked by a mechanic/technician with their devices to check for things unknown to anybody.

My Hyundai Tucson 2016 just got stolen out my driveway, now am looking for a car, I been looking at car max but I don’t want to get ripped off

CarMax lowballed my trade in though. The dealer offered me 4k more for my car.

I bought a car from Carmax, and it was as painless as you say. The only "unpleasantness" was after I agreed to buy the car, the sales guy was like "which extended warranty do you want"? He probably spent 10 minutes trying to convince me to purchase one of their extended warranty plans. I felt kind of bad for the guy, I figure that's the only thing he makes much commission from, but held firm and didn't buy any of the extended warranty plans. Had already arranged financing through my credit union, so it was pretty quick and easy. I enjoyed not haggling over the price.

Buying my first car in August or September. I have been heavily looking at Carmax. Looking to get a Subaru SUV. This whole car-buying process has me anxious. I've been looking at getting it from Carmax and doing it partially online.

Oklahoma City, that’s where Kpop idol Alexa is from she won first place on American song contest. Anyway I’m so stressed if I should buy from car max or enterprise.

That shirt you were wearing screams "sell me a lemon"

My question is … is the price you see online is that what you will pay ? Or they still add on taxes ?

Only thing i hate is that u never showed the full view of the car. I want a tour

Oh god, please don't ever be late on a payment. Carmax automatic service will blow up your phone several times a day. Even after working hours. Other than this, Carmax is pretty good.

So just want to confirm in case anything has changed, we live in Tulsa and will be looking to buy a car next week that's being shipped to us, but on the financing side, they show that title tax stuff you mentioned is tacked on to what one would be financing, is this not accurate or do we truly pay for title stuff at dmv?! I know currently it shows $399 for their processing fee which sucks. Thanks

Why are people still buying anything from this company!? I don’t know about you all but I detest getting ripped off

Looks like a 1.6 Turbo Sonata. Not bad...

Revamp CarMax. Sell cars the same way Saturn used to. Additionally, fire all salesman who work for commissions. Pay employees a fixed desk-jocky clerk's wage and give raises based on customer satisfaction.

I dont understand the financing part? Do you need to first have the value of the car before doing the financing process IF you decide to do it with another credit bank?...

Fixed high prices.

You really some guts wearing a lemon shirt the day you pick up a new car! Get video. Thanks.

Not sure their prices are all that good. I just purchased a new 2023 from a dealer and just for fun i looked up carmax prices for the exact make model and trim. CarMax had a 2022 with 13K miles for the same price as my 2023 with 5 miles. Granted i had to go through 3 car dealers to get the price that i wanted. I guess it all comes down to is it worth the hassle.

Since there is no negotiating do you believe the prices set at CarMax tend to be fair

I had a wonderful experience with CarMax, although it’s kinda of a long story. I used to have a 2015 Hyundai Sonata, it started falling apart and Hyundai wasn’t honoring their warranty even though the car only had 65,000 miles on it. So I opted to just get another vehicle. Carmax offered me $12,000 for it, that’s $3,000 more than Carvana and $9,000 more than Vroom so obviously I took Carmaxs offer. I had originally purchased a 2020 Nissan Rogue with 7,000 miles for $24,000. I had it transferred from Atlanta Georgia to Indianapolis ($250), it took 3 days to get here. Unfortunately it looked ridden hard and put away wet, lots of dings and scratches, the interior was dirty and it smelled bad. So I kept it for about two weeks, I’ve heard about 1200 miles on it and I did a 30 day return. The return process was completely seamless, it only took about 20 minutes. In the end, I purchased a 2019 Nissan Rogue with 15,000 miles for $26,000. I had it transferred from Ft. Lauderdale Florida to Indianapolis ($700), it took 10 days to get here. They told me the car was in like-new condition before I paid the transfer fee and it did indeed show up in like-new condition. I did get Maxcare, it’s for for 5 years or 125,000 miles. It only cost $1,900 so I felt it was a no-brainer. There were no doc fees. Oh, and my interest rate through Carmax auto finance was 2.95% on the first Rogue. I actually just decided to pay cash for the second one.

Carmax has a $6k profit on every car Ur local dealer is only $2 to $3k profit

Did they not add or give you a taxes and fees sheet unto the original purchase price of the car? And if you did were you able to opt out and does it yourself? Example; the car online is listed at 27k but when they add taxes and fees the price goes up almost 2k 28710. Can you help please?

How long did the transfer and car check take before you were able to go in to pick the car up

This is a CarMax ad

Have you had any problems with your vehicle?

What insurance thing did u have to do

Looked like Brixton Square in the background at the beginning. Getting some Bueno? You should swing around the corner and see me some time. Metropolitan Bible Church.

said he bought the car while the inventory key tags were still on the keys LMAO @6:00

How much did Carmax pay you?

Carvana is better option to buy, sell, trade in. I’m a big fan

Midlife Crises purchasing a sports car 🏎 a car that you don't need but want???????????

CarMax is over priced. Been looking on their site and the cost of used for many of the cars is more then the 2024 car I ordered. I didn’t even have to haggle they asked why I waned to buy the FWD, told them it was cheaper then the AWD, the dealer told me he would give me a discount to match the FWD price,, and that was it.. less then MSRP , no added fees beyond the $299 adds for admit fees… and it comes in 3 weeks.

Even if your credit was perfect car max ripped you off

Big downside is its overpriced.

hyandai for a mid life crisis car:? sad

you should name this video you've been scammed

Carmax adds 100% to the actual value when they sell a car.

If you bought from Carmax, you probably paid way too much and/or have bad credit and had few options.

No way a Hyundai lasts 10 years. You'll be lucky to get half that.

You’re doing 90 MPH AND blogging at the same time? Guess you don’t mind putting everyone on the road in danger. Too bad you didn’t get a speeding ticket, you sure deserved one.

Carmax prices are generally higher than what you can negotiate at a traditional dealer. They have the highest gross profit per unit unit in the industry. $299 for a doc fee is insane! I have NEVER paid more than $85 for a doc fee. Carmax is for uneducated idiots!

Their cars are overpriced to start with. You may think you are getting a good deal, but you are not. Do your research...

How these parasites wake up every morning

Very dangerous purchasing from these outfits. Folks not getting titles, close to bankruptcy

Carmax are Crooks !!!

Back in 2017 I was searching for just a pre owned car, didn't want an SUV. Couldn't find what I wanted. Was talking to a friend who told me to try Carmax. Found what I was looking for a 2014 Toyota Camry SE Sport. Took about 5 days since it was coming from another state. Purchased the car within 3 months starting having issues with the car. Carmax Couldn't find the problem. Took it to 3 Toyota Dealerships same thing. One day was vacuuming back seats noticed it was loose pulled up the seat and there was trash all under the back seat. Kids toys, dried up cereal, Crayola pens etc. Took pictures and emailed Carmax. Told me they could give me a $25 Voucher for detailing the car🤦‍♂️😆. Still having issues with my 2014 too much to go into must have been a flooded car. In 2019 decided to look for something. Tried another Carmax at a different location. They gave me the most for my trade in. I got a 2018 Toyota Camry LE, after a Month starting noticing weird things, from the engine , and Electrical glitches. Had a fender bender in 2020. The shop told me the noticed I had a previous frontal accident. I said this was my first accident. They told me my car was in a previous wreck. With all of that being said. Carmax buying process is smooth sailing. You will find what you are looking for. But never again will I get another purchase from Carmax. Two Toyota Camry with issues and my 2010 Chevy Impala was more reliable.

YES, further proof that adults with a 6th grade education CAN BUY a car at CARMAX and adults with a 9th grade education WORK at CARMAX and can figure out how to sell a car with little drama. < shocking! > Yet another reason why NOT to watch YT videos and why NOT to ever visit car dealerships, lol.

Overpriced by thousands...who would vuy a car there. Only people with bad credit
