I was trying to figure out how much my car was worth on Edmunds and CarMax popped up with an offer to buy my car at a fair price. Went to the CarMax store and they confirmed that price. Price is good for a week so I can find a replacement.
Car Max was great. This was the second time Ive sold a vehicle to Car Max. I got 3300 more for my F150 than another dealer offered. The process was pretty quick and service was great. Im glad they are now here in Scottsdale.
My experience was great!My in store offer matched my online appraisal to the penny, and went very smoothly without any haggling.It would have gone even smoother but I had to come back the next day to finish because my bank had closed, after I wasted time going to another dealership that claimed that they would meet or beat the CarMax offer and then failed to follow through and actually offered $1500 less once I was there in person.But CarMax kept their word, and I probably won’t waste my time anywhere else from now on when buying or selling used cars.Thanks for a great experience!
Met with Tracy today. The entire experience went much better than we ever expected. She was bright, professional, friendly and got us all taken care of in 65 minutes! We were selling our 2009 vehicle and the entire transaction was handled so nicely! This was our first experience selling a used car in this manner, but it all went so smoothly. Thank you Carmax!!
Went on the 20 min test drive and wasnt 100% sure if we wanted to buy that day. We didnt feel pressured and got to take it on the 24 hr test drive . let the kids see it and how it worked for our family and got it after the 24 hr test drive. They made the process very simple! Will definitely be looking at using them again when it is time for another car. Also sold our car to them, it was a very easy process
I came in to get an appraisal for my Subaru. I ended up showing up early for my appointment, but they were able to still take me in. Brittany was the one assisting me. The process wasnt long at all and her professionalism stood out in making the experience enjoyable. Highly Recommend
Sold my car for the same price as was quoted online. Prepare to spend 1.5 to 2 hours total but communication is good throughout. $4k more than Carvanas quote and $2k more than vroom. Super friendly staff and straightforward process. No surprises and you walk out with a nice check!
I was impressed that CarMax stood by their initial offer. Didnt try to bring me in then offer a lower figure. I was also pleased that the whole process took only a bit more than hour and I left with a check for the full amount. All people I interacted with were courteous, professional and friendly.
The car is coo definitely getting every penny out of it
Great place and terrific staff, they make car buying experience very easy and in a timely manner. I highly recommend customer specialist (salesperson) Brittany Salinas, she knows her stuff, very patient and knowledgeable. Along with the CarMax Scottsdale managers who were very kind, helpful and checked in at times with the car buying process. If your in the market for a used vehicle, choose CarMax Scottsdale.
At first, it was a pleasurable experience. 14 days later, however, I got a call that my financing had been reversed, and that my trade vehicle had already been paid off, so was not able to get my original vehicle back. On top of all this, they want me to drive 4 hours to bring the car back, and then I am left up to my own devices to get back home, yet another 4 hours. I am sure there is a legality involved about having paid my trade off before the financing was truly official. I was forced to go out and try to find another vehicle since I would be forced to be without a vehicle.
Great experience here. Worked with Connor and he was so kind and pleasant to work with. Easy process to sell my car. One of the best experiences Ive ever had dealing with any car related transaction!
Best overall car selling experience Ive ever had! Got a premium offer on my Ford Edge in 15 Minutes! No pressure, no hassles. It was $2000 higher than other dealers here in Phoenix AND right in line with Kelley BB and NADA prices for my vehicle. Highly recommend CarMax!!!!
I really like CarMax and this is my second purchase. The App is great, Financing as well, The people are also great. The reason for 4 Star is the process is sooo slow. I spent 3 or 4 hours prior to my visit talking and documents to CarMax and at the location we had to repeat the entire process again making it almost 5 hour marathon from 11 am to 3:45 pm. The reason I was told was because I was trading in my formerly purchased CarMax purchase, we excuse me. They knew that two days before and I had an appointment for the appraisal at 11 am.
Very professional. Went exactly as advertised. I submitted an online appraisal and made an appointment. They met me very promptly with minimal wait time. Dave, who handled my entire transaction from appraisal to buying the vehicle did an excellent job in explaining everything and processing all the needed paperwork. Definitely a good experience.
I had a very unique situation when selling my car. Everyone went above and beyond in providing me with the best service as well as helping me navigate what I needed to bring in to make the transaction go smoothly. From calling in and asking questions over the phone they helped me and then when I got in they remembered me from the phone call and had everything all ready for me to sell my car to them.
Sold my care to Car Max and it was a simple fair transaction. No hiccups, just a straight forward transaction. Other sites (Varoom) were difficult to navigate and get a straight up deal.Will use again.
This was the best car buying experience ever. I had the car shipped from one location to a location closer to me. It was so easy from the first second. Someone kept me informed the entire process and explained early on how the process would work. Once the car was delivered to the store near me, they held the car for me till I had adequate time to test drive. I test drove and bought the car within 2 hours. This was a great experience and I appreciate everyone that assisted me in making this such a pleasant experience. Thank you.
I want to give a shout out to all the folks at CAR MAX Scottsdale. A great experience all around. Everyone was very helpful and the process went very smoth. I traded in a car and was given top dollar (compared to other dealerships).. and a great price on the new one.
I sold my Tesla here. Great experience! Everyone was super nice and helpful!
Fair prices, nice variety and easy on line shopping and reservation process. They stand behind their vehicles. People are nice and patient. No pressure shopping. I like on line shopping but for a car I need to see it first hand and drive it. Thats what Carmax offers. I have bought many cars from Carmax and will continue to do so.
This CarMax location is great! All the staff inside are very helpful and friendly! Very different from other locations, they are more exclusive and you get to work with the same member from start to finish. I did a last minute finance change and they were quick and easy to work with! I needed some documents sent the same day and they sent it within minutes. The manager was down to earth and loves cars too, easy to talk to. Everything went smooth, I did a trade in too and got a pretty fair deal overall. Worst case, the offer stands for 7 days so no pressure on the sale/trade in. I’ve done a number of buy and sales through CarMax in AZ. I personally worked with John Dales through this transaction who owned a few of the same brand car I bought so he definitely knew what he was talking about. Very friendly and patient guy overall, I definitely recommend working with him! I did not feel pressured at all during my time there. Additionally, I had a chance to work with the service department there who were more than helpful in fixing things found after the purchase when I did a purchase inspection at another dealership, which wasn’t much in the first place. They were able to reimburse me for a battery I bought at a dealership easy! Overall, pretty good experience, I’d come back for another opportunity.
Everyone at CarMax, especially my appraiser Mikayla and Jerry, who handled the purchase of our car, was outstanding. They were friendly, helpful and professional. Using CarMax for the sale of our car was very easy and we received an excellent price and were extremely happy with the overall experience.
The staff is awesome, they are friendly and great at explaining everything. I am extremely happy with the quote I was given for selling my car. I would definitely recommend using CarMax to sell your car.
Went in during the weekend. Wanted to just look around and figure out what my wife and I wanted in a car. Found a couple of options and had Lou helping us. He was super patient and helpful making sure we knew what we were looking at. Ended up looking into one car but there was issues with it. Found another car that we loved and he worked with us for 5 hours till we left with our new vehicle with a financing price we liked. Thanks Lou!
Phenomenal experience from beginning to the end! Was super easy to sell my truck and get cash for it! Highly recommend!
This was my first time using CarMax, so I was a bit skeptical. I assumed there would be hidden fees, or they would low-ball the online purchase offer they gave me to buy my used car. To my delight, none of that happened! The entire process, from start to finish, was very professional, honest, efficient, and easy! Kyle did a great job! I will definitely use CarMax again.
I received a price offer online that I thought was fair. I stopped in the next day without an appt. No problem. They checked out the car and offered me the quoted price. I was in and out in under 90 minutes.
Great experience. They honored their online quote and we were in and out pretty quickly. Easy peasy!!
The smoothest transaction i have ever done in 40 years of buying and selling cars. Jerry was fantastic.
Excellent all around. Thank you Dezirae and Scott.
This was the best car buying experience that I have ever had!Knowledgeable professional sales team helped me make a purchase decision without pressure. I was interested in a car that was in California. The sales team arranged to ship the car to Arizona at a very minimal cost. The car arrived five days later. It was clean and in perfect shape. I bought the car. Several days later I called to indicate that the car manual was not correct. 48 hours later I received the correct manual. I highly recommend buying from CarMax.
Sold my car here. Super easy process worked with Scott and he made it easy. CarMax is a super easy process especially if you fill out the information beforehand.
The person I communicated with by email and phone to begin the process of appraising my trade in vehicle and selecting a new to me vehicle was excellent. All the details were set. I had all documentation needed to complete the agreements and the paperwork was uploaded to my file. The transaction should be quick and easy. However, after making an appointment and driving 2 hours to get to the dealership, it took over 5 hours for the sales person and manager to complete the transactions. Why did I have to give someone online all the necessary info to upload, and bring copies of documents, only to have the salesman and manager tell me they had to verify (obtain from their sources) the information again? The online experience was great! The in person experience, not so much. Most Importantly, I do feel I got a very fair price for my trade in and I am enjoying my new to me vehicle.
It’s upsetting when a business can’t even conduct honest good business!! Kyle and Dexter are horrible to deal with. Waste of time dealing with them. Go to the Tolleson location! My car came back with the full initial quote value and is the only good thing with Scottsdale Carfax. Seems like computers could serve the customer better than these two. Will be contacting the BBB.
Good online offer to buy my car. Great in person experience when I took it in for the inspection.
Had a great experience! Andrew helped me sell my Jeep Wrangler and made it super easy. The payment was very fair as well!
Awesome car buying experience, in fact the best Ive ever had. We test drove 4 cars, and our salesman Jose, was very friendly, accommodating and helpful!With Joses help, we found the perfect car.Thanks and keep up the good work!
The associate who helped me - I think his name was Jerry - was very courteous, professional and generally very pleasant to work with. The managers who stepped in occasionally were also very courteous and communicative. The entire process was very fluid. This is the fourth vehicle I have sold at Carmax and you just can’t beat the convenience and consistency.
Easy way to sell a car without, risk, pressure to buy another, or other hassle. Jerry at the Scottsdale branch was terrific to work with.You dont get top dollar but it was quicker and easier than trying to find a private party. You start with the CarMax online appraisal, which was quite a bit lower than the Autotrader online appraisal, but STILL more than a dealer would give you as a sale or as a trade in.
The process was quick and efficient. This was the best car buying experience. I started online and was only at the dealer for an hour. I highly recommend Carmax!
Carmax should learn a few things from Carvanna, a few items are 1, buying process is cumbersome and much longer with carmax, further carmax should and needs to list the actual vehicle color name rather than just say (white) when the model may have 2 different whites. I biggest issue was I test drove the truck once it was ready for test drive thinking, wow its loud, must be a factory sports exhaust however found out it was a aftermarket exhaust which was not listed nor reviled. The end to this issues was that I paid $1200 for a new dealer install exhaust .Also, the in door jam dealer vin/tire info/paint code etc. had been bleached or wiped out so that you cannot see any info and mind you this is a 2020 truck with only 10000 miles, seems a little shady to me. At the end of the day I love my truck and spend $1200 to fix a custom back to normal which Im sure carmax will not reimburse me for . I was more impressed with carvanna and vroom.Mike D.
I was absolutely amazed by the quality of service that Christian provided me with. I actually received a higher value for my 1918 Mercedes than the dealer had offered me. I am now a lifelong fan of Carmax.
Excellent price for my vehicle! Professional service start to finish. Thank you CarMax.
I still havent got my license plate after calling them multiple different times and told it was on the way 3 different times by 3 different people.... Hopefully Ill get it within another 10-14 days like they said, its been 2.5 months Ive been waiting.
Fast, good selling price.I just wanted to sell my car fast, Carmax did just that.
John was a fantastic person to work with. He was thorough, kind and professional. And the offer to buy our was fair & equitable. Thank you CarMax!!!
The best service. This is my car #3. Local Scottsdale place is convenient and Chris one of the Mngr is great Also John sales service 5 stars ⭐️ Definitely recommend the Car Max in Scottsdale AZ 🌹
The problem with CarMax is that its like a Catch 22 for those with credit scores under 700. You will pretty much walk out of there with a car but youre going to suffer from high interest rates. The customer service is good but when you go online to set things up, they dont make it clear what you need to bring and because I was not told of a certain piece of information I needed on addition to having to go through bank statements with their finance person, what should have took 90 minutes took over 4 hours. I am already looking into alternative financing
Walked in, walked out. No fuss, no muss. Just waiting on the vehicle because it is coming from out of state...
It was the honestly the best experience! They took my trade and gave me a new “used” car on the same day! I didn’t have any issue with purchasing from them and this is my second purchase from carmax!! Highly recommend! Louis was the best sales person!!!
We had a great experience and our associate was beyond wonderful. Our experience was fast, easy and we received a great value on our vehicle to sell. I’d highly recommend The CarMax team.
Recently sold my older car to this team and it was an incredibly easy process and took a reasonable amount of time. I used their quote calculator online first and made sure to clean my car up as best as possible, as I wanted to make sure I didn’t blatantly give them a reason to offer me less once I showed up. I was a little worried because online there is nowhere to indicate windshield cracks or damaged lights, which I had both.Ultimately you show up, they start the paperwork, then you pull your car in so the agent can take a million pictures. Those then get sent to someone (not sure if that’s someone in the building or offsite) that decides the official offer. That’s pretty smart because it’s less stressful not feeling like I had to convince the person I was working with - as they had nothing to do with the decision. I received the same full offer that was given to me online - yay!We had to do some additional paperwork because I still had a small loan on the car, but that was pretty painless too.I’d definitely go this route again if I need to get rid of a car. Very happy.
I had to sell two cars in two days and Carmax gave me what my vehicles were worth and the process was easy and painless!
The initial day to look at cars and possibly decide on one was good. So I decided on a car, traded in my car. When I went a few days later to actually drive it and look it over I decided that I wanted it. So the person who was helping on the final end of the sale wasnt helpful, knowledgeable about how everything works inside the car. And he said that he wasnt allowed to get inside the car with a mask on and show me how to set everything up. I went home upset, frustrated and feeling like I shouldnt have purchased this car. Im not a techy person. A few days later I had off and I called the dealership and told them how I felt. I had to go back again which angered me further. They got a man to help me and teach me how to program the music, etc. He actually got in the car with me with a mask on. Thank you John.
We traveled over 5 hours to get a vehicle, but got so much more. Thank you Lou for your extraordinary salesmanship, your courtesy, and overall your patience. You made the car buying experience pleasant and the way car buying should be! Thank you again for everything.
I recently sold my 2015 Mazda to CarMax A friend had told me to contact them as they were good to work with and were fair on their offer prices. I couldnt agree more. The process was easy and I was in and out in an hour and 15 minutes with a check for a little more than I expected. Their process was quick, employees were friendly, and their COVID protocols were great.
My first time with CarMax. Super simple and straightforward. Will definitely use in the future. Thanks, CarMax!
All I can say is Andy is so nice and made everything so easy and simple! Thank you
Great experience. Brittany was very helpful and kind. She explained everything in a concise and comprehensive manner. I accomplished exactly what I wanted to do when I went there. The app (or I could have used only the website) made it easy for me to set an appointment time and prepare myself going into the store. With Brittany’s help, I was able to get through the process of selling my car with ease. I was very happy with the price in which CarMax offered to buy my car. I went on a Friday afternoon and walked out with a check ready to deposit after about two hours from my appointment time. It was very streamlined and simple. There’s no haggling. They are straightforward and very fair. I would definitely do it again. I highly recommend using either their website or app to prepare and set up an appointment for anyone looking to sell their vehicle to CarMax. It makes the whole process easy for yourself and them.
An outstanding experience. The service was fast, the price was fair, and the people were courteous and knowledgeable. They also did an outstanding job of keeping my wife and I as save as possible against the virus.
I had a very good experience selling my car at carmax,The place followed strict covid protocol with touchfree Experience, in fact I haven’t seen any place following such preventive measures, apart from it,I was also given a good price( much better than the dealers) for my 2012 Nissan Altima. The appraisal process was fast, one can probably sell the car in 2 hours at a good price.I highly recommend this place for anyone trying to sell a car.
I sold my car to CarMax this week. The process was easy and they gave me a fair price. If you don’t want to deal with the complexities and wasted time of a private sale, I definitely recommend you get an appraisal from CarMax.Great experience. I will come back again.
Dexter and crew were super supportive. In and out in an hour.
Everyone is super friendly appraised my truck in a breed
Great friendly staff. Payment that was given me online, is what I received.
Best way too sell a car! I couldn’t believe how easy the process was!
Brittany was great! Fast and painless.
Very professional, cannot say enough about how well this process was done. Always a fan and a referral source. Thanks Carmax and Scottsdale team.
The process to sell my car was great at the Scottsdale CarMax location. I worked with Andy Baker and he was awesome. I got CarMax offer first and decided to get about 5 other dealer offers. They all ultimately did a bait and switch on the amount, which resulted in me taking CarMaxs offer. It was fair and seamless. Had to see what else was out there, but with the haggling, change in offer, rude service, pressure to buy another car, and lack of communication; CarMax was the best deal and best service - Hands Down.
CarMax was very easy to work with as long as you dont mind working with different folks on the phone (even if they do say you can reach them directly-its not true). It didnt really matter because each person did have access to detailed notes about us and the vehicle we were interested in. All the salesmen I met face to face with were great and I was able to access them directly. We love our new-to-us Chevy Bolt! we also really liked not haggle over the price. We paid cash and were given the total costs days in advance. Low stress car shopping!
Our customer service rep Britany was awesome. So helpful and informative. From the time we walked in, shopped, test drove 2 cars and left with our new car was less than 2 hours! I’ve bought a dozen cars over the years and 5-6 hours is usually the norm. Britany and CarMax you rock!!
Hey yall,Collin was fantastic. Positive and helpful. One thing I do not enjoy while buying a car is small talk and heavy sales nonsense. I prefer Positive professionalism and straight to the point.Collin embodies this exact ability so well that I just trusted him around every corner. I mentioned that I had time but wanted to move as quickly as we could. He got me appraised quickly. Test drives both knocked out and never lingered longer than his word if he asked me to wait while he handled things. I was extremely confident in this young man the entire time and so confidence in Carmax is a natural default. 3 hours and I was off site just as I asked in the beginning! Thank you Collin. Buying experience 10 stars.One last thing: he informed me that if the manual wasnt in the glove box that I could buy one and bill Carmax up to $500. As a business owner I was immediately thinking there should be a preface to that or an inspection done because of people who might be dishonest. He then checked that the vehicle manual was in the glove box before I drove off and informed me that I wouldnt need to buy one. That right there saves yall money! Take care of this guy. Youd be insane to lose him. Attention to detail at work and with customers is on point.
I was determined to find a vehicle before leaving and with the help of an awesome associate, i did find a vehicle i am comfortable with.
I sold my Expedition to CarMax. From making the appointment, having the car evaluated, to the final paperwork all was seem less. The associated I dealt with were all friendly. Although I didn’t get exactly what I wanted for an offer it was a good offer.
We initially got an offer to sell our vehicle online. With previous experiences at other dealerships I was expecting CarMax to find excuses as to why they wouldnt be able to offer us the full amount on the estimate but they did. We werent expecting to buy a car from them either. But they had a nice car at a decent price. Combined with the ease of trading in our old vehicle it was the smoothest car buying experience, start to finish, weve ever had. We were in and out in less than 2 hours. Thank you CarMax!
Great place friendly staff, they are paid hourly so no pressure situation! I sold them my lease i needed to get out of, far and away the easiest option for getting rid of a lease. and they gave me a really good price.John and Kyle were friendly and helpful you can’t go wrong paying a visit to the north scottsdale location.
I would never go anywhere else to dispose of a car. The Scottsdale office is the best business I have dealt with. Christian Nekamp should be the president of the company
Long story short, Solomon was horrible. He sold me a car and never transferred the vehicle to my closet location. Few days later the car was on hold for anther buyer. Carmax did absolutely nothing to correct their mistake. Save the headache, shop elsewhere.
Im an employee at the call center for carmax.. I went to purchase a car yesterday with all the documents that they requested.... When one of the supervisors was assisting me she ran my credit several times (which i was approved)to only let me know i couldnt purchase a vehicle cause i didnt have enough hours on my last paycheck stub which could have been disposed to me prior to running my credit. She also didnt take advantage of helping me look for a car that i could get with what i was approved for based on my hours... This wasnt an iconic experience from this location
Team was great, entire process was stress free and they gave me a fair offer for my car even though I wasn’t buying one to replace it!!! Will definitely use them again to buy or sell a car!
This was my first time selling a car so I was a little nervous about it all. It was an extremely easy process. I was surprised at the great price they gave me for my car. I would highly recommend if you are thinking about selling your car, go to CarMax to get an appraisal!
Compared to other dealers or used car buyers (apart from third party) Car max offered me the best price for my car. If you want a hassle free appraisal and sale process go for Car max.
The Scottsdale branch of CarMax is filled with helpful, well informed staff ready to show you cars. They understand its a considerable amount of money you will be spending so they let you take your time to decide. No pressure is put on you. This makes it easier to make a decision, however long that takes. I like that you can have cars brought in from other locations to test drive for a small fee. And I like the 7 day money back guarantee. I didnt have to use it since the car I found was perfect! Thank you CarMax of Scottsdale!
I am so amazed at how well I am being treated at Scottsdale Carmax. I recently purchased a vehicle from them, did it completely online and it was quick and easy. They even brought the car to me. When I needed service I couldnt believe how fast and efficiently I was helped. This has been the best car buying experience I have ever had and want to thank Mikaela in the business office and Ryan in service for taking the time to help me when I needed it. They went above and beyond expectations. Thank you Scottsdale Carmax for making car buying less stressful and for taking the time to care. I will definitely be recommending you to friends and family.
Great experience. Quick and easy.
When I first arrived at carmax everyone was nice and friendly. I only waited 2 or 3 mins. The person who helped me was Stephanie. She was very friendly, professional, and found a buyer with a great offer.Since everyone was so friendly when I buy my next car Ill come back.THANK YOU STEPHANIE!!!!!
Carmax is great! I brought my used BMW in for appraisal and then sold it to carmax. The process was so easy, the staff was all very friendly (thank you Brittany, Lou and Chris), the facility is very clean! The price for my trade-in was wonderful! I highly recommend this place to anyone.
I did an appraisal/offer with a car that I was selling for my dad though Carmax online. Very easy process. The offer was better than I thought it would be. It beat all the other competitors by $1,000 to $2,500. Not kidding! I thought; when we get there, they will haggle the price down. Didnt happen. They gave me a check for what they offered me online. The process of being there was super easy as well. Scott is the one that handled the purchase of our car. Great guy! Some companies will send you a check in the mail a few days after you give them your car. Not Carmax. They gave us a check that day and we deposited it immediately and the funds were available the next day! We were there no longer than an hour and a half. Super happy with the whole process. 1000% recommend. Dont even bother with the other companies that will come pick your car up and then send you a check days later. Carmax pays you on the spot! Thanks Carmax Scottsdale!
John was exceptionally helpful, professional and great to work with. Everything went smooth at the Scottsdale Carmax. Had some issues with scheduling, but overall a great experience.
What a completely awesome experience. First time using this service to sell a vehicle and it couldnt have been more painless. Thank you all.
Buying experience was just as easy as the first time I used CarMax.However, in the first 90 days, I have had to get new brakes, a new serpentine belt, all new struts are needed (which I dont have 1200) for, I replaced the batteries in both remotes and had to change a headlight.With the above mentioned, I am disappointed
My purchase was much simpler than what it used to me at major car dealers. I stopped online instead of running around to dealers, had a vehicle shipped in from another state, did a test drive when it got here, then went in to sign the finalized paperwork which was mostly completed before so that was really nice.
No hassle - fair and fast!!
