Carmax buys your car. I don't think so...
Oct 30, 2007
Carmax complaint by Rulo54
Don't sell your vehicle to Carmax, they don't disclose their buying rules, until you sign over your

pink slip to them. I recently sold my vehicle to them and much to my surprise, they made me wait over three weeks to be paid for my vehicle that they had possession of. Imagine a company as large as that holding on to funds and giving you a check that is no good for three weeks. They have your vehicle.Under no circumstances should you have to wait that long, to receive your money. When they make you sign a statement that the check must go into your account and when you deposit it they have a special routing number that instructs your bank to only make a portion of the funds available, then three weeks later, the rest of the funds available. I didn't know that you sell your car and then must wait for your money in dribbles.....How professional is that.......

OK PAUL! :roll 

( or whatever your name is) 

Stop ( blowing) Carmax. 

And take a look at the complaints before posting the same post in all of the complaints. 

Where there is smoke there is fire. 

I have read enough of these that I will not do buisness with Carmax Regardless of having a mechanic check my vehicle and regardless of the lemon law.:p 

So take your mouth of of the delarships *** and chew on my words for a bit.  

Maybe you will learn something. :x

Look! I do believe that you all have had some type of problem or else you would never take the time to post it here - HOWEVER - what about the 100's of thousands of Happy and Satisfied Carmax Customers that have no need to post anything.. 

 

Carmax from what I know does a HUGE volume of sales- it's to be expected there will be a small number of problem situations - but it's not the Norm... 

 

I totally agree with the poster that advised to take the car to your personal mechanic you do business with for their own - unbiased check up--You have 5 days to return it if the vehicle gets a bad report --It's not a hassel because you are making a BIG purchase for the next 5-10 years, so a little inconvenience and a check up fee is a VERY SMALL price to pay for piece of mind...
