Reviews of CarMax in Wilmington

My personal experience with Carmax.

I sold my primary vehicle to them on a Saturday. They paid for it with a company check. Their corporate policy with their own bank (according to the branch manager at their bank), is that all of their checks must be deposited. They cannot be cashed, nor exchanged for a cashier's check. No one ever inforned me of this nonsense when they offered to purchase my vehicle. Because Carmax has such a sketchy reputation among the banks (according to the bank) there was a 10 business day hold put on the deposit. That amounted to two full weeks, plus three weekends. So basically, they took my daily driver and paid me with a check that wasn't any good for three more weeks.

Buyer BEWARE..... If their check is even good at all, it will most likely take several weeks to get your actual money. If you are relying on having that cash to buy your replacement vehicle, expect to be walking everywhere for several weeks, until their check finally clears.

I don't do business that way, nor do I do business with those who do. Would NOT recommend.
