This car purchase has been a total nightmare! I purchased my vehicle the first weekend in November from CarMax in [redacted] after having it shipped here from [redacted] **I only drove it two and a half days before dropping it off for some minor fixes (Bluetooth installed, door handle replaced, residue on windows removed, and speaker replaced) They had the car for over a week and a half before I went in to get it because I was leaving townThey give you a five day grace period to change your mind about the purchase but I didn't get an opportunity to see if anything else was wrong with it before the days was up because they had the carOnce I returned it back after coming back from my trip to have the bluetooth installed and speakers replaced because of a popping sound when the radio is onI get down the street and the same sound is coming from the speaker, the service guy Joe (with his nonchalant attitude) wanted to act as if he couldn't hear anything at firstOh and the part for the bluetooth had to come from overseas a week and half later after they first had the car....really?? Needless to say I called corporate to get involved because I was so frustratedThe service manager called and said that the issues will be resolved but he did not say in a timely mannerI dropped the car off for the Bluetooth and speakers on Tuesday 12/1/and the following Tuesday has come and gone and they still have the carThey put me in a loaner car that is not up to par of the car I purchased, the first one stalled on me and this one seems to need some type of maintenance work done to itThis is my second car that I have purchased from CarMax (the first in 2008), the service was so much better back thenI will NEVER return to this dealership and will not refer my worst enemy if I had one to them! They really need to train their service guys to have better customer service at this location and hire technicians that know if a speaker should be replaced or the amp.This inconveniences the customer when I have to keep bringing the car back because they are not trained or just don't care about their jobsThey have literally had the car more than I have since I purchased it and the first car note is coming up...BUYER BEWARE
