Is It A Good Deal ?

I just had a few people asking for pricing on cars so I did a quick search on the usual websites like Cars.com, Autotrader.com and Craigslist.org. I compared the prices I found from reputable dealers to those of the same model, year and mileage vehicle that Carmax was selling. Here is what I found:

Carmax: 2002 BMW 325i with 36k miles $18,998

Other Dealers: Not only were other dealers listing 2002 325i’s with 30-39k miles for thousands cheaper, but you could find a 2003 with the same mileage for under $18,998.

Moral of the story: Shop around, because Carmax can be severely overpriced sometimes.

If you’re thinking of selling your car to Carmax and would like a second opinion on the price they quoted you or just a general idea of how much you should be selling your car for… e-mail us at the “Free Advice” link at the top of the page and we’ll e-mail you back with free advice.

Don’t let Carmax rip you off!
