DO NOT BUY FROM CARMAX! !! Literally the worst car-buying experience I’ve ever had. Seven months ago I paid $18k in cash for a 2014 Cadillac with 70k miles and it is already !! Literally the worst car-buying experience I’ve ever had. Seven months ago I paid $18k in cash for a 2014 Cadillac with 70k miles and it is already completely UNDRIVEABLE. Within 5 months of buying the car we’d spent $1400 on repairs (driver’s seat stopped adjusting and an air bag sensor came on) and now, 7 months after purchase, we are having to replace the rear differential, a $5k expense. CarMax has been totally unhelpful and seems to stand behind this as a fair deal. I’ve been buying used cars my entire life, usually cars with 100k-ish miles and I’ve never faced anything like this. Our mechanic said that the oil hasn’t been changed in 15k miles, the fluids clearly weren’t checked and the battery is failing. In addition to all that, CARMAX promised to take care of tagging the car with the DMV as a “benefit” of purchasing with them. The 90 day temp tags expired without a call, text, email… any communication at all. We had to call them and demand a rental to drive for the 3 additional weeks it took for them to get the tags processed. And I have proof of sending the insurance info to them with more than enough time to have gotten it done before the temp tags expired. I honestly think the only reason it got done at all is because we called and harassed them about it. It would have been easier to deal with the DMV and just handle it myself. Next stop for me is the Better Business Bureau. Save yourself a ton of money and time… but a car from a legit dealership. Carmax is a sham. More

In addition to very fine work on making the whole deal go forward… Carmax just refunded an adjustment on the final payment.

License plate was missing a bolt - Not sure I had to make an appointment - I am not happy with the service department - My mechanic (who is the owner and more 30 years experience) said the tires were a safet an appointment - I am not happy with the service department - My mechanic (who is the owner and more 30 years experience) said the tires were a safety issue - The individuals in the service department measured the threads in the middle (which apparently met Carmax standards) - My mechanic about blew a gasket (sorry about the pun) - overall, not a great experience More
