Revdex.com: I have reviewed the offer and/or response made by the business in reference to complaint ID [redacted] , and have determined that this proposed action would not resolve my complaint For your reference, details of the offer I reviewed appear belowThank you for the response from CarmaxI did attempt to "trade in" my vehicle at the Dulles, VA location...not "sell" itAnd it was my understanding that while the vehicle is in their possession, that they would be responsible for whatever happens to/with the vehicleOtherwise, I would have not allowed them to drive it during the appraisal process without me being presentOn September 3rd, Carmax offered me $and said it was because I had a transmission malfunction/noiseI informed them that my transmission worked completely fine on the way there, and I didnt have any noise when I parked itAfter hearing the noise for myself in the parking lot, I asked the person who drove my car, Matt D***, what happenedAt this time, and over the course of a week, he gave me three different stories as to how and when the noise happenedCarmax initially suggested they diagnose the issue at their location, which they did by one of their mechanics on September 3rd...and told me it was the Clutch PlateThey told me to leave my vehicle there at Carmax until Monday September 5th for further diagnosis because their "real" service department was closed, and that my vehicle was unsafe to drive off the lotAt this time, Matt offered alternate transportation...first a Carmax loaner (that happened to be unavailable because the service department was closed), then a rental (at my cost, which I declined), and last a rental (at their cost).Matt, from Carmax called me on Monday, September 5th and told me that they were unable to diagnose my issue, and because of that, they would send it to a third party shop that they normally deal withI specifically asked "who will be paying this bill"Matt agreed that they will pay for the tow there and back, as well as pay for the diagnostic at [redacted] to "find out what exactly the issue is and how much it would cost." Matt also stated that after we know what was broken, and how much it would cost to repair my [redacted] ...that we would then decide who would pay the repair bill.On Thursday September 8th, [redacted] did their basic initial diagnosis, and Randy informed me (including Carmax) that they could not determine exactly what the issue is, nor how much it would cost because of the configuration of my vehicleRandy, from [redacted] then informed us that it would require about a hour job to properly diagnose the issue (tear it down) and get us a price on repair, at a cost of about $Without doing the hour process, according to Randy he could not tell Carmax, nor us what is broken, where the noise is coming from, and/or how much it would cost to fixHe also could not determine fault in his opinion at that time because he did not know what was actually broken or how it brokeAfter relaying this information to Matt, Carmax said that they did their part by providing the initial diagnostic service...and that they would not pay any more money to [redacted] because they do not feel that they are at fault based on an assumption of what could be brokenI asked to speak to a managerOn September 9th, while speaking to John D***, the Operations Manager at Carmax, I informed him that Carmax still has not satisfied their part of the deal, which was to provide me with a diagnostic informing me exactly what is broken, and how much it would costI also learned from John D [redacted] during this conversation, that the alternate transportation I was initially promised during this ordeal was not realMatt offered me a loaner vehicle on September 3rd, which apparently I could never have had according to John because I am not a "Carmax customer" (which I didnt find out until September 9th)I was also offered a rental car at my cost, which I declined seeing as though the initial offer for the loaner vehicle was freeThey then offered to pay for the rental when I picked up my [redacted] , as long as I brought in the receiptJohn D [redacted] informed me that this also was a lieHe told me that I would have had to pay for the rental, send the invoice to Carmax Corporate, and then it would take almost two months for them to approve it and send me a check in the mailAt the end of this conversation, John told me that he would discuss this entire issue and inconvenience with his other managers, and contact me on Monday, September with an answer to how we will settle.On September 12, John D [redacted] and Matt both contacted me on conference callJohn stated that he and the managers concluded that they will not be responsible for any other fees associated with my vehicle because he could not understand how my vehicle could possibly have been broken during their test driveHe also stated that even if this wasnt the case, he could not authorize any repairs of this magnitude of costIt would have to come from higher upWhen I requested the "higher up" contact information, he refused and directed me to Carmax Customer CrOn September 12, I authorized [redacted] to complete the full diagnostic test to find out what was wrong with my [redacted] , although Carmax says I never authorized that action as of September 20thIt is my position, that Carmax at least owes the $fee for the full diagnostic test/tear down because that is the only way to find out what the issue with the car was, and how much it would cost to repairThis is what Carmax promised to me prior to shipping my car to [redacted] , and this is what should be paidIt is also my position that had Carmax not driven my vehicle knowingly making a loud and horrible noise (according to Matt he heard the noise prior to driving it), that the damage occured would not have been as extensive as it ended up beingI have reached out to Carmax multiple timesI also have reached out to the provided phone number and extension on this Revdex.com reply letter from Carmax and left a messageIts been a week and I still have not heard from anyoneThank you for allowing me to provide my rebuttal, and provide to more accuurate informationI can always be reached directly at [redacted] Regards, [redacted]

The short and sweet of the experience: years ago my wife was in an auto accident, and her vehicle was deemed a total lossWe needed to find her a vehicle quickly so she could go back to work, and decided to go to CarMaxAlthough the "buying" experience was not great, it was also not terribleWe decided on a vehicle, put a number of thousand dollars down on it, financed it, and drove it home Fast forward years: We decided to trade in the vehicle we purchased from CarMax, and no matter what dealer we went to, they all said we owed too much on the vehicle versus what the vehicle is worthI decided to check into what the vehicle is really worth now, in comparison to what it was really worth years ago when we bought it so I could understand why these dealers said thatI found that the vehicle is definitely worth the value these dealers said for trade-inBut I also found out that we paid $1000's well above the markup when we purchased at CarMaxSo much for a "No Haggle" price? Now I am stuck with a vehicle worth half as much as I owe the bankThere is nothing I can do with the vehicle until I pay thousands into it just to sell itDo your homework peopleDon't get ripped off at CarMax like I did

May 6, Revdex.com Serving Central Virginia, Inc Moorefield Park Drive Suite Richmond, VA RE: Consumer Complaint of [redacted] Dear Sir/Madam: Thank you for sharing MsCathy [redacted] ’s complaint and providing us with the opportunity to respond Ms [redacted] acknowledges that she applied for credit with CarMax Auto Superstores, Inc(our “Dealer Affiliate”) to finance the purchase of a vehicleMs [redacted] alleges, as a result, she incurred inquiries on her credit file and her credit score has been negatively impactedAccordingly, Ms [redacted] requests that we contact the credit reporting agencies to request the deletion of the inquiries We informed our Dealer Affiliate of Ms [redacted] ’s complaint and requested information regarding Ms [redacted] ’s credit application and transaction history Based on our review of the information provided, it is our position that Ms [redacted] ’s complaint lacks merit and we cannot provide the resolution she desires Our Dealer Affiliate’s records reflect that, on July 21, and July 22, 2014, Ms [redacted] visited our Dealer Affiliate’s store in Hillside, Illinois On these visits, Ms [redacted] agreed to submit separate joint credit applications with MsMonica [redacted] to finance the purchase of a Mazda [redacted] These applications were reviewed by a total of financial institutions and the [redacted] s ultimately accepted a credit offer from [redacted] to purchase the vehicle Prior to submitting her credit applications, and as it does for each of its applicants, our Dealer Affiliate presented Ms [redacted] with an opportunity to review and agree to its Credit Application Terms and Conditions (“Consent Form”) Among other things, the Consent Form authorizes our Dealer Affiliate and its finance sources (including, CarMax Auto Finance) to “use your credit reports and verify your application information.” Ms [redacted] agreed to and signed a Consent Form for each application and they are attached to this response Lastly, with respect to Ms [redacted] ’s assertion that her credit score dropped points because of her credit applications and the resulting inquiries, this is inconsistent with our understanding of how credit reporting agencies treat such inquiriesWe encourage Ms [redacted] to review Experian’s FAQs on this topic which can be found at: http://www.experian.com/credit-education/score-faqs.html These FAQs explain that multiple inquiries for the purchase of a financial product (e.g., an auto loan) within a short period of time such as days is treated as a single inquiry and have little to no negative impact to a credit score This is consistent with an explanation provided by the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, which can be found at: http://www.consumerfinance.gov/askcfpb/763/can-shopping-loan-have-effect-my-cred... Since Ms [redacted] ’s applications were submitted over the course of days, the resulting inquiries should have had little to no impact to her credit score, much less a decrease of points If Ms [redacted] has any further questions or concerns regarding our explanation, she is welcome to contact me by phone at [redacted] or by email at [redacted] Thank you for bringing Ms [redacted] ’s complaint to our attention If you need any additional information, please do not hesitate to contact me directly at the contact information provided above Sincerely, Brent A [redacted] Operational Compliance Manager CarMax cc: Ms [redacted] Enclosures
