Product Information

In this article, we’ll look at how CarMax works and what the process is for buying and selling cars. We’ll also look at how CarMax compares to its competitors in terms of pricing. And we’ll give you the pros and cons of buying and selling cars there. Table of Contents: You can start the CarMax car-selling process from the comfort of your home by getting an instant offer online. Start by entering your license plate number or vehicle identification number (VIN). Some local or independent dealerships may be open to negotiating. You can always try letting them know if you received a higher offer from somewhere else and asking if they'll beat it. Also, if you're willing to trade in your car, some dealerships may be able to adjust the overall deal so you wind up getting a bit more value for your car. What's the safest way to finalize your sale?

If it's time to say goodbye to your current car, you'll want to consider what you'll do with it. Two common options are selling it privately and trading it in to a car dealership. Both have their advantages and disadvantages, which are important to weigh. Selling Your Car Privately Alert us when you are leaving for your appointment, and our associates will be ready for your arrival.Those three-month road trips as a kid prepared her well for life as a touring musician, and Car Ma is full of photos she snapped during her many cross-country trips with bandmate Jamie Hince as The Kills. One piece in the book, “Sonic States of America,” chronicles their first ever stateside tour and what it was like to introduce Hince, who is English, to the country’s large stretches of highway. (“Seeing America through your eyes was like seeing America for the first time,” she writes. “Everything looked loaded and wide open. New colors were being invented 24/7.”)

CarMax will also buy your car if it meets their specifications. You can take your vehicle to a CarMax location to have it inspected or get a quote online if your vehicle is eligible. If it passes muster, you’ll get an instant cash offer. That offer is good for seven days from the time you get it. If you do sell your car to CarMax, you’re under no obligation to buy a car in return. 2. How Do You Buy a Car Through CarMax? Constant repair bills can cause considerable strain on a budget, especially when they catch you by surprise. If chronic repairs are draining your wallet and patience, it may be time to move on. Once you choose a particular car offering, you will be shown an option to look at a free vehicle history report before going forward. After this, it’ll be time to enter your basic details to buy the vehicle. This will include: On the other hand, selling to a dealership is far less hassle and generally more straightforward. While you may not get as much for your vehicle as you might with a private-party sale, it's important to consider whether the extra time and effort you put into that private sale are actually worth it.Private sale could be a good option iIf you’re someone who doesn’t mind posting and responding to ads until your car sells, or if you’re willing to negotiate a sales price with your buyer. You could potentially get more money through a private sale. Just like buying a car, trading-in takes some planning. Before you begin the trade-in process, here are some steps to maximize your car’s value and make you feel confident throughout the process. Prepare Your Car Negative equity: Also known as being “upside-down” or “underwater,” negative equity is when you owe more on the loan than the car is worth.

Whether your car is appraised online or in-store, your offer is valid for seven days so you have time to think it over and compare your options. What paperwork do I need to have ready? If you’re not able to get a duplicate car title, then you may not be able to sell it to CarMax, or to most places that buy cars. But you may be able to sell your car as junk or scrap. Does CarMax Buy Cars with Over 100 000 Miles?You can still sell your car to CarMax after the seven-day period, but you’ll need to get a new offer. 3. Take Your Car to CarMax You should consider a private-party sale if you're willing to put in the work to get the highest price for your vehicle. It can also be worth it if you have a classic or collector's car or a car with some special value, like a car that's been heavily modified. But a private-party sale also takes more time and effort, can be much more complicated if you still owe money on your vehicle, and exposes you to more risk. Additional information : CarMax asks 14 more questions regarding the condition and history of the car. You’ll note if the car has rust, hail or flood damage. You’ll also indicate whether there are warning lights or mechanical issues and provide more details if so. Shop around to ensure you get the best deal, and never take the first offer you're given. It's a good idea to explore all your options to get the most trade-in car value for your current vehicle.
