While I did not purchase the cars I checked out through this site I really cannot complain about the products found here and the upkeep of the site. I had a good experience through CarMax but found a better deal elsewhere.

I have used CarMax to buy my last three cars and love the no haggle experience in buying a car. I love their website, the easy way to compare cars and their large selections and great prices.

I went to CarMax to get a quote to sell my car and also look for another car. The staff was all very nice and I felt no pressure to buy anything. I also really liked their no-haggle pricing.

They make it very easy to finance a car My monthly payments are only $167 a month. And very understanding when your late with your payment.

I purchased a Fiat Pop from them that was supposed to have a clean record, I got it home and the next day there was an error that effected the emissions test. I brought it in, they turned off the error, so I took it to the mechanics and found out that the car had been in an accident and had at least the bumper rebuilt. They are neither trustworthy nor honest

CarMax has a great foundation, but when you put in a zip code it shows places way too far away. It makes it very easy to filter what options you want your car to have.

Great choice when buying a preowned car. No haggle pricing eliminates stress of getting a fair price. Friendly customer services.

CarMax is a good company to use when looking into buying a car. Their website is easy to navigate and look at cars based on the filters you previously placed.

CARMAX is a big buy here pay here store. If you are considering buying a car from CARMAX beware....get every detail in writing they have memory loss issues. Read all the reviews on Yelp and Consumer Affairs. If I had read them before I would have bought elsewhere. I will never buy another car from CARMAX Clearwater or any other on the planet. Not Trustworthy in my opinion.

Got offered $4000 for a lancer evolution that sold for 16,500 the next day. Brought in my 2012 f350 6.7 turbo diesal and was quoted $4500. The engine in the truck blew up a mile from store, supervisor told me to kicks Rocks. Now I get to work out $12k for a motor, $10k for an attorney and gotta wait a year to even get my money back. Never go to CarMax in Roswell GA. Piss poor preformance, in pretty much every area.

I bought a 2011 VW Jetta, in 2017. In addition, the extended warranty they push you to buy. However, my car, still under warranty, had trouble with the transmission, and needed a clutch. I had to pay my deductible for the transmission, which was from a junkyard, and they DID not cover the clutch, costing me $1400 out of pocket. Do not purchase the extended warranty, it is not worth it! You are better off buying a brand new car, with a full coverage warranty!

CarMax is the best way to shop for cars. It is no pressure, very friendly employees. They aren't pressured due to commission and are more than willing to answer questions and help out.

Although we wouldn't trade another car in, we would buy feom Car Max in a heartbeat. The max care plan is awesome and we've been well taken care of. We have purchased two vehicles from them and we've been very pleased.

I like Carmax because you can trade in your car and put credit on a new car. The cars are used but they aren’t to beat up and they give you all the information on them.

Although some CarMax cars are overpriced, they have great customer service and can really help you find a nice car. Not for a first car for your 16-year-old kid, but for nicer cars they have great deals.

I like their system as i really don't like normal car salesman. I can just dig through a bunch of car for any that I really like. And their online search and transfer makes it easy to find the right one.

Went into a local carmax to request documents for purchased vehicle from a different location. Apparently Different locations do not use the same system so I had to contact the other store. Wish I had knew that before wasting a trip out for nothing.

Carmax is easy to use and they have decent inventory but the taxes and prices are way too high. The salespeople will try to say they can let you "buy" the care for a few days with a guarantee that you can return it if you don't want to keep it but according to state law that's not possible so they seem slightly non-trust worthy.

I would never buy a car from CarMax over charging people for cars that's been in car accidents overcharging them in finance CarMax is a mess they are liars they're not a good company at all and I suggest that you find another company to buy a car from. I would never recommend CarMax for anybody and I mean anybody

Its almost like they don't want too sell a customer a vehicle. They say I need proof of residency. I have E statements with address, Pay-stubs with address, and my drivers license with The Matching address, and it's not accepted as proof of residency. So continuing else were.

Prices jacked up for their certification but they shove the warantee down your throat and those prices. you can go new cheaper if you're flexible on features. I worked with them on a couple possibilities and walked away.
