    Man carmax is wild on prices. I recently purchased a car for my daughter. Every comparable car was nearly 5k more there.
  • @f.galvez9301
    Collapse? The used vehicle i was looking at went up 2k last week. Still waiting on the big Collapse.
  • It goes to show, shop for the best car for you, then research prices before you test drive. Shiny cars can make for an emotional buy. This vid helps!
  • @regularguy761
    these prices are ABSURD!!!! Consumers need to band together to solve this problem. No tacoma should EVER be over 40k…ever

    This is nothing new. In 2009, when the economy was collapsing, I was shopping for a specific model. Not super-rare, but uncommon. Carmax had a 2008 with typical mileage for a year old car. I ended up buying a new one from a dealer - a 2009 with ~0 miles - for $1000 less than the used one at Carmax.
  • Just picked up a 3 year old, fully loaded wrangler 4 door rubicon with low mileage for 1500 under the lowest blue book value in very good condition. At Carmax. Couldn't believe it.

    Nothing is going to change. They arent going to budge. Higher prices sell fewer cars same profit. Just like the fast food industry, fewer patrons but higher prices = the same or higher prices.

    Sounds like Saturn's problem from the past

    More Carmax videos please 😂

    I was going to buy new but the dealer couldn't get me the options I wanted on a model that was being discontinued, plus they wanted to charge me like $2300 for some paint and fabric "protection" bs. So I found a nice used one at Carmax. They only charged me $100 to ship the car in from another location 400+ miles away for a test drive. I did have to pay over market price but none of these bs added on fees like you get from the dealer. I'm very happy with the vehicle but there were two things that kind of ticked me off. First off they didn't disclose that the vehicle was a "business" owned vehicle until I was signing the papers... and they lied about doing a oil change because when I got home and checked the oil it was a quart and a half overfilled and dirty.
  • @ELXABER
    Glad you looked into this. I have been pointing out the dealer/reg/CarMax flip scheme for a while. I'm not sure who is getting rich off this, but the consumers and CarMax lose in the end.
  • @Sheeett
    Once I went to carmax and I seen they selling Hyundai accent 2013 with 122k miles for 13k I never been in their lot
  • @doradomike
    Bought my Chevy bolt with 20k miles from Hertz for 18k out the door. CarMax had the same model with 15k miles for 26k not including fees and tax.
  • @dontbeje11y
    Price aside, I feel like there is something to be said for a car company that has true no haggle, people that don’t walk up and try to sell you crap, and no BS fees. Most cars at stealerships are going to do some BS market adjustment, a 799 doc fee, and then put window tint and edge guards for 2999.
  • @grantlam9247
    Greed and due to collusion from Manufacturers, Banks, and Dealerships made this possible.
  • They will have to readjust they pricing to get more people to buy and better rates
