This is the 3rd car we have purchased from CarMax and every experience was fantastic. They had a wide variety of vehicles, sales folks were helpful but not high pressure, and the outcome was great!

It was quick and easy. Made a mistake with the windshield wipers and gave up too easily. They work fine. Car seems ok all around. Good buying experience.
