This was my first time purchasing a car through CarMax. I had previously sold a vehicle to them, and that process was incredibly easy, which is why I chose them when I was ready to buy. I was looking for a I had previously sold a vehicle to them, and that process was incredibly easy, which is why I chose them when I was ready to buy. I was looking for a very specific trim and color, and while I could have purchased through a local Land Rover dealership for a similar price, I decided to go through CarMax and had the vehicle shipped for $549. Throughout the process, every employee I interacted with was friendly, helpful, and genuinely tried to make things right. Calling in with questions was always a positive experience, and I appreciated the clear text updates while my vehicle was being shipped. When I arrived, I was quickly greeted and assisted, and everyone—from sales to customer service to the service department—was kind and professional. That said, the overall experience took much longer than expected. While my first salesperson was very nice, it seemed like she was still learning, and some mistakes and slower processing added time. Even though I had completed a lot of steps ahead of time, I ended up spending around 3.5 hours there on my first visit, only to be told at the end that paperwork had been completed incorrectly and I couldn’t take the vehicle home. I returned the next day expecting a quick finish, but spent another 3.5 hours, bringing the total to about 7 hours. There were also some issues with the vehicle preparation, including incorrect screws used for the front plate that caused visible damage, which was disappointing on a new purchase. The service team did help address it, but it added to the frustration. Overall, the people were great and did their best to help and I appreciated the work from Lovie and Jacob, but the process itself felt inefficient and much more time-consuming than it should have been—especially given how much I had prepared in advance. While I’m happy with the vehicle, the experience makes me question whether going directly through a dealership might have been a smoother option. More

The vehicle's sunroof was not working properly during the test drive. This fault should have been identified prior to shipping. The vehicle was listed as having parking sensors, but it did not.
