    Thanks. For every reported problem with Carvana/Carmax, there are likely thousands of nasty experiences with regular dealerships. That's based on working for several dealers. I will NEVER set foot in a dealership.

    I purchased a car from Carvana and subsequently sold it to CarMax. I would never buy from Carvana again because Carvana could not provide the title several months after I sold the car to CarMax. Before that, Experian noticed that the mileage on my Title at the Massachusetts Registry of Motor Vehicles needed to be corrected. It took many telephone calls and many months to have this corrected.

    Hey what about the 7day return do both carvana and carmax offer that and the 100day policy that carvana offers is carmax the same?
  • @AgentXXeyes
    Will they pick up your old vehicle for trade in?

    Never bought from Carvana and never will because of hearing things like this but have both bought from and sold to CarMax. Every experience with CarMax had been amazing. So if you could say to Carvana hey I want to buy a vehicle and go ahead and take it but it will take three weeks or a week for me to pay you and no that won’t happen they want their money then and should refund money NOW. One of the vehicles I bought from CarMax years ago was a Jeep Grand Cherokee and within the 30 days noticed it had a front marker bulb out. The bulb was less than $2 and it took them 4 hours to replace. They had to remove the whole front bumper plus gave me a loaner to drive. I went to the mall and shopped and while I was their I called back and asked if while they had bumper off would they replace the other side and I would pay them. They said no problem and it would be done for free. Kept it 5 years and in 2016 bought a new vehicle and gave Jeep to my oldest daughter and it is still on the road today. Since I have only bought new vehicles but if ever buy another preowned will go to CarMax. Great video.
  • Very cool I keep reading all these nightmares online about people buying a carvana At standing behind their warranty putting other crap on the cars someone bought a brand new vehicle and it had crappy tires that weren't even the right size and they wouldn't do nothing about it. Luckily for her she had seven days to return the thing back to carvana and say that's it done goodbye

    My experience with Carmax. They apparently do inspect their cars and make any necessary repairs. Their 30 day return policy is unique in the industry. That is a positive reason to do business with them. The negative aspects, based on my experience, they significantly overprice their cars and significantly undervalue vehicles customers are offering for trade. In most cases a better deal, IMO, could be made at a franchised auto dealership. Carmax famous no negotiation on price policy, IMO, seemingly benefits them more so than the customer.
  • Glad I came across this video. CarMax it is! I subscribed too bro 😎💯
