Does CarMax buy really old cars?
CarMax will buy most cars, even old cars that don’t even run. However, these cars will need to be towed to a CarMax store for an appraisal. CarMax will even buy cars that they don’t expect to sell, such as badly damaged vehicles, that they will sell to auction. A: CarMax prices can be higher due to their extensive inspection process, reconditioning, and no-haggle pricing model.

Does CarMax actually inspect their cars?
We check every car’s history to rule out any with flood damage, frame damage, outstanding liens, or salvage history. Any car that can’t meet those condition standards gets sold at auction — not to you. Cars must also pass a 125+ point inspection and undergo a detailed reconditioning process to be sold at CarMax. Every car we sell is CarMax Certified, which means no flood or frame damage and no salvage history. Each car undergoes a detailed 125+ point checklist by our trained technicians, and we’ll repair, replace, or detail anything necessary to meet our standards.
