I did not know that Car Max cars were NOt sold “as is” and just passed through Car Max from the prior owners.
I wonder who is inspecting the quality of repairs that Car Max does.
I would rather deal with an as is car, with the condition of 1st checking it out with my mechanic and then coming to an agreemwent on the price - than taking another outfits word that “they fixed everything” and accepting their price.
A good mechanic is going to do more than just listen to how the car sounds, in idle or when driven.
couldn’t have been more pleased with my experience with CarMax and the truck was in perfect condition and they will fix anything that goes wrong quickly if you get it home and find something you aren’t satisfied with.. plus my CarMax in Columbia SC made multiple contacts with me after the purchase to make sure the vehicle was still to my every expectation
I and others in my family have purchased at least six used cars from CarMax over the years and we have had no problems with any of them.
