re: Car Max?

They are selling used cars for 10% higher than everyone else to avoid negotiations. If that is worth it to you then go for it.
As always every car is unique and you should not assume that any used car is actually "checked"

I know someone that bought a Toyota Tacoma from Carmax. A few weeks later the A/C system imploded. Needed new compressor, etc. Carmax got the repairs done, no questions asked.

Only time I've used them was to get a low ball quote for value of a used car I imported and needed to pay taxes. I took it to them and Carvana and used the lowest offer to get lower taxable value than KBB.
Car was purchased out of state just before moving overseas and not registered/taxed in US until I reimported a few yrs later.

I have never understood the thought process around this comment. Every dealership has a "no haggle policy" until the consumer asks them if they will accept something less than the asking price. Competition in the market place is what drives the "haggling."
You will have just as pleasant of buying experience, if not better, if you walked into dealership and bought the vehicle at whatever price they give you when you ask them how much for the vehicle.
“No haggling” isn’t about you, it’s about all the other potential buyers.
Sure, you can pay dealership sticker prices, as long as you accept the fact that they would have sold it to you or someone else for less.
If you know the seller won’t haggle with you or anyone else, the price is simply the price.

Always, Always get the fee schedule first.
Add that to MSRP.
That's the real number you're negotiating from.

I'm looking for a new car now myself.
I'm going there again today.
They want me into a 2022 ford maverick for 6 years at 24%. So it's around $25k and it will be like $38k with the interest.
I think I'm just going to aggressively pay the principle to stay in front of all that interest

In the name of math and sanity, please reconsider what you really need in terms of a vehicle.

If you ever need to dump a vehicle use car max for an offer then sell it to the give me the vin guys instead. It might only be $100 more but they'll beat car max.

Loved it. I found the vehicle I wanted in Dallas and had it shipped to BR. I went in, did a trade in and was out of there with the new one in an hour or so. I'll never visit a regular dealership again. I don't have the patience for their bullshite.

Prefer Carvana. Family has bought several vehicles from them.

was trying to avoid carmax when shopping for my truck but after going to several dealerships and test driving multiple trucks carmax had the cleanest/ lowest mileage one.
i paid about $1k too much but you peel that lil sticker and take off the license plate cover nobody gotta know. honestly worth avoiding another month or so of mexicans lying to me

I love it. Walk in, find a car you like, test drive it, pay the price they’re asking, and leave.
I will never go to a traditional dealer again. Ever.

24% tells me you have made some poor decisions, hey it happens. It is good to see you have a plan to pay it down quick but do yourself a favor shop around for other lenders. 24% is insane I have never heard of a car interest rate that high.

BTDT.
If you're below 700, not many options.
Just check around, and good luck.
