I'm going on vacation next week, can someone feed, water, and walk my dog? As it is now I am leaving the door open a bit and leaving 7 bowls of food, 7 bowls of water and 7 milkbones out for him. On second thought, that should be good enough.

Hey, anyone here ever sold a car to CarMax?

Curious on what the experience is like, what kind of value did you get (I am expecting somewhere between trade and private sale value). You can PM me if you wish.

I didn't go through with the sale, but I took my car there a few years ago before I moved to Sweden for work. The offer was reasonable, but I hadn't owned the car very long yet, so I was still in the early negative zone where what you owe on it is more than what it's worth, so I decided to keep it.

Seemed pretty easy though. I think they had it in there for about an hour while they looked it over and gave me a written number right away.

I did not sell them the car but I had them give me an offer on my old car. They offered me 3,000 more than the dealership I was buying a new car from. I liked dealing with them for the 45 minutes I was there. I wish I liked the car company my local CarMax is affiliated with, I would have bought from them.

Dealerships are the worst. I was looking at new cars years back and they offered me $2,000 for the car I was replacing. I sold it the next weekend myself for $12,800. I know you gotta have a margin, but come on.

CarMax really broke the price they were giving me down. In fact they told me their offer was 6,500 (11 year old CRV but low mileage due to working at home then, I threw in the garter hanging on the rear view mirror) but that they would give me 7,000 if I had the headrests I took off 3 of the seats. Weird.

Lol. You didn't hang your tassel to say to others "in your face, I fucking graduated from high school?"

You can't say enough about the fantastic people at CarMax. From the clean show rooms to the way I was greeted with a smile, I knew I was in a place that I could call home. Sure, price is a consideration. But really, the way you are treated is the most important factor when dealing with a corporation you will interact with once every 5-11 years. Also, their bathrooms - amazing! I had zero inclination that I would ever be sexually assaulted in such a pristine environment. Not like those dealers!

So much for the new car buying experience, then.

I recently test drove an infiniti qx60 and was helped by a saleswoman who just finished her first week in the job. I think she wanted to have sex with me but upon further review she was probably just trying to sell me a car :noidea: my wife was there cockblocking me as per usual :tsk:

That pic (like that Carmax car) is getting lots of mileage.
What's that in the rear view mirror?!

Sorry, that was too old school. I meant back-up camera.
