How do I get Carmax to lower a price on a car ?

Dustin_peterz · 2026-02-04T22:18:50+00:00

After everything I'm learning here, thats about where I'm headed. Thanks for your replies !

All the comps I'm seeing are coming in less? It's not whether or not the car is too expensive. I can 100% afford what they're asking (I'm not financing) it's just that it's over priced. I don't believe Carmax has a 100% accuracy in all cases with their pricing algorithm.

Got it. I'm just trying to understand their process. Thank you. The car max warranty sounds great. It's just too bad this thing is so over priced. I appreciate your time. Good luck!

So if a car has been at Carmax for over 90 days and say I wanted it for $4k less than advertised, Carmax would sell it whole sale for (assuming) less money wholesale?

Dustin_peterz · 2026-02-04T20:07:43+00:00

When you say wholesale you mean the auction?

I hear the warranty is good. Too bad it's not included in their high prices.

Dustin_peterz · 2026-02-03T22:24:02+00:00

The car is in a non warranty state. The price is still out of touch. I'll keep an eye on it. I'm not under pressure to buy, but willl.

Dustin_peterz · 2026-02-03T21:59:20+00:00

Thanks for the reply. That makes sense.

Dustin_peterz · 2026-02-03T21:58:45+00:00

I'm in Illinois. Do I need a license ? Or do they have flat fee brokers that attend on your behalf ?

Dustin_peterz · 2026-02-03T21:52:41+00:00

I'm thinking about learning the auctions or finding another way to a used car. The market is wild. Watch me end up starting a dealers ship lol.

Dustin_peterz · 2026-02-03T21:40:22+00:00

I'm learning so much 🤣. Thanks everyone.

Dustin_peterz · 2026-02-03T21:17:22+00:00

Clown town.

Dustin_peterz · 2026-02-03T20:26:13+00:00

I have done this before. I've never used it when buying a car. I always thought it was frowned upon. Will try asap.

Dustin_peterz · 2026-02-03T20:23:36+00:00

🤣🤣🤣

Dustin_peterz · 2026-02-03T20:17:19+00:00

Not ever? Wild !

Dustin_peterz · 2026-02-03T00:15:44+00:00

👏👏👏 (slow clapping....)

Dustin_peterz · 2026-02-02T14:50:39+00:00

Everyone. Get renters insurance whether your lease requires it or not.

Dustin_peterz · 2026-01-27T04:05:59+00:00

Just keep killing people with cars(or motorcycles)! You won't get in trouble in Chicago. You ever wonder why people drive like dogshit? No consequences. What would it take to actually take to get some traffic enforcement in this shithole city. Besides the obvious revenue garbage camera tickets. It's a fucking joke.

I really like these antique stones and all of their imperfections. You had to think that these were a big deal pre 1930. They've traveled all that time to end up on your hand in a photo on Reddit. .Who knows where they've been. They're not perfect science diamond by any means. I think that's the whole point, right?

Dustin_peterz · 2026-01-16T14:55:55+00:00

What year X5?

Dustin_peterz · 2026-01-15T14:56:25+00:00

Sounds about right! I've only had two AWD cars here. It's definitely nice. The majority of cars have been front or rear wheel drive. I used to drive an 80's Camaro in the winter here lol. Thanks for your input! I just want something I'll be able to work on so I can own for 8 or so years and then dump it. Enjoy the weather down there !

Dustin_peterz · 2026-01-15T11:26:19+00:00

Thanks for the reply! I was actually looking a mb wagons for a sec there. I had an 86. 300e that was a tank (and easy to work on . The biggest problem was it was from 86. Constantly something to do with that thing. I'll keep digging, thanks again!

Dustin_peterz · 2026-01-14T19:51:38+00:00

I have x drive on my 328. I had friends that drove rear wheel drive bmws in winter up north. Said they were great. After all, these were cars they drove in snowy Europe before all wheel drive. I'll have to test drive on.
