But seriously: Carmax or Carvana is how I will be getting my next one.
KBB.com is another good site. What you want to do is your homework - determine what you want, bracket the makes, models, years, and key features you want and then go to work online. All these sites have search tools that will let you narrow down the field and price range. Don’t expect super bargains but you’ll get access to far more possibilities than otherwise.
In my case I wasted a day with a bunch of jokers who I laughed at as I walked out the door knowing they’d call back in 15 minute begging me to return (sorry no!) Bought from a dealer who had the same vehicle with lower mileage, thousands less, and was the best car-buying experience I’ve had.
Takes an effort but well worth it.
I bought one with CarMax in February. It was seamless, painless, price was right and car performing flawlessly.
Carvana is a disaster.
lots of people wait months for titles for out of state cars, and never get them.
Carmax is way better of the two.
Carmax is selling used cars for more than you can buy the same one new. I saw it in person when I sold them my six year old truck with 62k miles on it for $3822 less than I paid for it new. I bought that truck brand new with 12 miles on it and there was no trade in to obfuscate the real price.
I had very good results buying my current car from Carmax. I can recommend them. It really made it easy to find what I was looking for and make the deal.
Carvana . . . That’s Kurt Car-bain’s company, right?
