Carmax Can Be Overpriced

posted in Carmax |

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.

    The worst experience I have ever had as a consumer!!! Sales Luis Galletti started the experience by asking if we had a trade in, I was talking and he just kept looking at my fiance, finally my fiance started talking because it was apparent he was not listening to me. When we were test driving the car Galletti kept all his attention on my fiance even though my fiance told him repeatedly that the car was for me and the decision was up to me. Finally my fiance got so upset he quit test driving the cars so Galletti would get the idea the decision was up to me. I found a car I liked I figured the car would last longer then Galletti attitude. Come to find out the car was 3000 over book in this market is crazy, so they wanted that down. We later received a letter from Galletti saying we could sell our car for the estimate in 7 days all it said to bring was title or who had the lean on the car. I brought the car back 6 days later and talked to an inept front desk then talked to Manager Christina Gupta she laughed when we told her of Galletti behavior, then told us to come back in an hour she called us 10 minutes later asking about registration, nothing in the letter mentioned and when I was going to buy a car it wasn’t brought up . My last vehicle was a lease so it wasn’t current. She told us we had to get it current before we could sell it to them. Even though the cars they sell are not up to date with registration or emissions tests, all sold as is. The letter was a false statement. This was not in the letter, why couldn’t she ask this before we left? Awful service I am telling everyone that I can to boycott Carmax!!!
