Carmax [View all]

Last edited Mon Jun 24, 2013, 08:27 PM - Edit history (1)

Anyone bought a car at Carmax? I am looking to buy a 2007 Kia Sportage. Would to hear about both. Thx....

UPDATE:

Thanks to all who posted feedback. I ended up buying a car (2008 Kia Sorento - 46k miles) @ Royal Kia in Tucson AZ. Very positive experience, great price, & trade in value. They include a free lifetime warranty on the power train as long as you own the car. No pressure, salespeople are salaried. I'm very happy with my new car!!
