Is there any room to nudge on a price with carmax? what sets these prices there?

 

I haven't seen one good carmax deal on a G37. They are all between 3-5k+ too expensive. I don't believe they are negotiable but they tend to lower the price if the car has been sitting for too long so you just have to wait it out.

 

Agreed about Carmax being overpriced. You're paying for their one-stop shopping experience and their "intensive" reconditioning of a car. I've never heard that they negotiate on a car.

 

They won't negotiate any prices, I've tried. I was looking at a C63 AMG that was a 2009 with 40K miles and they were asking some 45K for it when you can get a newer model with less mileage for that same price. I told them that's at best 37, they basically scoffed at me...

 

Yep I was just at carmax looking at a G37. It was at least 3k over priced. It's amazing people actually fall for their sales pitch.

 

Carmax is without a doubt the worst place to try & buy, as others have stated.
My parents had a bad experience with them, they were trading in a 00' q45 only 70k, clean history. They lowballed them so bad, even my mom told my dad let's go.
My parents ended up selling the car at all places a flea market.
He put a for sale sign, got $3,500.00 more than Carmax's offer.
This may be just one place, but I'd say sounds like the company's mo.

 

It's a "safe" place to buy a car. My parents bought me my first G (a 96 G20) back in 1998. I had a sweet Honda CRX Si but my mother all the sudden got big worries that I was driving 70 miles/each way to grad school in a little 2 seater so she forced my father to buck up and buy me a bigger car.

They were 300 miles away and didn't want to come down to check out what I was looking at. Thus Carmax was a good place for them to stroke a check to. Interestingly, the car's ABS blew within a few weeks and Carmax paid the nearly 2K to fix it at the Infiniti dealership.
