Hi all, It appears that I need a new (used) car, as my insurance company totaled my car due to the manhole HUMP in the middle of the street . I apparantly cracked the trans pan, the oil pan and the cradle that holds the engine up....and my van is 10 yrs old.....I had planned to keep it at least another year or two til we paid of DH's car and were going to try going without payments for a bit to save up for a new wheelchair conversion van.
I need a van for my daughter and her wheelchair, and it seems that most of the used vans are at Carmax. Has anyone used them? Which location? (Independance or South Blvd.) Anything good or bad to say about them? Will also be going to Mayberry Chrysler Dodge as they have a modest selection of Grand Caravan and Town and Country vans, what we need so we can modify it down the road. THANKS for any info you can give.
I have bought 3 cars from them over the years. Two from matthews and one from South Blvd. No complaints and I got good deals on them. I can bear the sales people in the dealerships which is why I go to CarMax. Do your research online for the car you want also. I think that's a help.
Location: Greensboro to Belgium to Michigan to Charlotte

I bought a car from them 3 years ago, and it was a great experience. Great website for research. I was living overseas at the time, and I was able to find the exact car I wanted, had it transferred to a Carmax in Atlanta (where we were flying into), and got a fair price on it. It is still with me, and I have had no issues with it. Give them a chance, their website is great for research.

Glad to hear good things. I have no problem with going there I actually picked the car I want (in Gastonia) but DH wants to go to a dealer, don't know why, there's not nearly the selection there. But we'll be shopping around tomorrow....will have to wait til we get the money from the ins. co first before we buy though.
I used the one on South Blvd several times. Call Sam and make an appt. Tell him exactly what you need and what you can afford and how long you are willing to wait for it.
He kept an eye out for me until something came in and gave me a call. I got there first thing in the morning and picked it up.
You can also keep checking daily and call him when you find something.
I recommend Carmax. Worked with them for a little while, and found them to be very honest and reliable in all their dealings. A good place to buy a car.
