my kids have had great luck at CarMax.
They don’t like the mechanics there (at CarMax, story follows), but you can take the CarMax warranty to any mechanic. My son took his car to the BMW/MiniCooper dealer to have a vacuum thing redone, and they found the wrong brake sensors on it (that CarMax installed). Replaced them all and they honored CarMax warranty.
I was impressed. If I have to buy a car, I think I will do CarMax, just for their warranty service.
You are not going to get that on Craigslist.
Other thing, my daughter wanted a very specific VW Turbo (I don’t know the model). She found it online at the CarMax site and had they shipped from WI to Illinois for her to test drive. She bought it that day (it’s in a recall now, a turbo diesel of some sort, but that’s not CarMax fault).
I’m glad you too have had good service with CarMax. I’ll never buy another new car......we’ve had to have the dash board replaced on the Avalon on a recall but that’s about it. It’s a dream car.....beautiful to drive but it’s so much easier to get up into a truck and slide out than it is to squat down into the car and pick yourself up to get out especially now that my old joints are blown......sigh.....;)
