  • At the outset, this stipulation: I'm a native New Yorker and abhor cars, yet I've come to recognize their necessity. The only one I've owned that I truly liked and missed, was a 74 TR-6, which had a will to live and literally blew up at about 250,000 miles. That out of the way, I tried a rather unique experiment recently: For three months I walked places or took taxis in an effort to "live" like a New Yorker in Vegas. I suppose I could have continued, but made the decision that I was either borderline certifiable, or simply "cheap," and decided to buy a car. This is the second car in a decade I purchased from CarMax, and I used its website first, where I saw the "perfect" car for me at the right price. This past Monday, I called the store and said I would buy it (I don't "test drive"). The sales associate asked me to come in, I demurred, saying "Tell me what I have to do, send me whatever papers I need to fill out, I'll sign 'em and send them back." He seemed to think this was bit unusual, to say the least, perhaps figuring I was going to use it as a "getaway car" for robbing pies from bakeries. In any event, he email the papers, as did my insurance guy; I filled them out; returned them and requested that the sales associate pick me up Wednesday in the car so I could "test drive" it back to the store to conclude the transaction. He did and a half hour later I drove home. There was no pressure for addons, though I did buy an extended warranty, which I did and which was useful on the first car I bought there. There was nothing that wasn't explained, no question that was unanswered. There is absolutely nothing I can criticize in either experience I had with CarMax. Well, perhaps the coffee could be better. The price I paid was a few bucks more than I would have paid to a private seller, had I found this car with one in the first, and equal or less than a dealership. It's as much the service as the product for me and CarMax has both and both exceed my expectations. All of that said, if you're looking for a used car (I don't believe in that euphemism, "pre-owned"), I unequivocally recommend CarMax as your first stop.
