Is carmax a good place to buy from?[/quote]

It is if you can't stomach haggling, but their margins are awfully big.

I recently bought an 08 subaru. guy originally wanted 23 for it. I offered 20. He took it to carmax and they offered 19. He sold it to me. Later I saw similar car (same make/model/trim but more mileage) on carmax listed for 23.[/quote]

I second this PP. If you really are not one for going in and dicking around and haggling for hours over the price, Carmax is for you. You will possibly pay $1000-$2000 more for the car than at another dealership, but if you're looking for an easy, pleasant experience, you might consider it worth it. DH and I bought a car from Carmax in Dulles last fall; from walking in to walking out with keys in hand was under 2 hours flat. They give you a price, tell you what your payment will be, and if you're okay with it, you're good to go. If you're one who wants the best deal possible, Carmax might not be for you.[/quote]
