App Features

Search and Filter Vehicles: Effortlessly find your ideal pre-owned car using intuitive filters for make, model, price, year, mileage, fuel type, and more. This saves users valuable time by quickly narrowing down thousands of listings to those truly matching their specific criteria and budget.
View Vehicle Details and History Reports: Access detailed information including exterior and interior photos, video walk-arounds (where available), vehicle history reports (from CarMax Certified and Carfax), and key specifications. This transparency empowers users to make informed, confident decisions before scheduling a viewing or test drive.
Find Cars Near You: Utilize your location (once granted) to discover Certified Pre-owned vehicles available at nearby CarMax dealers, making it easy to plan a visit. This feature significantly streamlines the process of physically inspecting cars, eliminating guesswork about location availability.
Explore CarMax Financing Options: Get an instant estimate for financing or lease rates directly within the app. Users can compare different loan terms and interest rates easily and often speak with financial advisors directly from their mobile experience for competitive approval.
Schedule Service and Appointments: Book service appointments, arrange vehicle deliveries, or schedule a CarMax pre-purchase inspection all through the app, integrating essential post-purchase services directly into your car ownership journey.
Manage Your Purchase: Once you’ve decided on a car, the app guides you through the online ordering process, provides digital paperwork and payment options, and facilitates delivery services or helps you arrange pickup, ensuring a smooth transition from viewing to driving away.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How does CarMax: Used Cars for Sale ensure the used cars listed are reliable?

A: CarMax guarantees its Certified Pre-Owned vehicles undergo a comprehensive 159-point inspection, are repaired to meet or exceed the vehicle’s warranty requirements, and come with a 12-month/12,000-mile CarMax warranty. Standard listings also include CarMax MultiScan™ history reports detailing maintenance and potential issues.

Q: Is it better to get financing through the app or visit a CarMax store?

A: Getting financing started via the CarMax app is often quick and convenient, providing preliminary rate estimates. However, visiting a store allows for personalized financial consultation, document review, and potentially finalizing loan details and securing approval faster, especially if an immediate purchase is planned.

Q: Can I buy a car listed on this app and have it delivered to my home?

A: Absolutely! For eligible Certified Pre-Owned vehicles, CarMax offers a home delivery service. You can arrange delivery directly from the app after purchase. Standard pickup from a local dealership is also available. The app clearly states if home delivery is an option during the purchase process.

Q: Does using the CarMax app affect my credit check?

A: Yes, similar to shopping on a car website, obtaining financing requires a credit check as part of the application process to assess your creditworthiness and secure loan terms. The app will guide you through this step clearly before you commit to any agreement.

Q: What happens if I find a car I want but it’s not available nearby?

A: CarMax has multiple locations. If a specific vehicle is sold out at your preferred location, the app will indicate if similar Certified Pre-Owned models are available at other nearby CarMax dealers. You can schedule a viewing at another location or explore other vehicles in your filtered search results.
