They're probably $1,200-$1,500 more for a car than I think it should be listed for, but that's not a huge deal if they can give me a deal on the extended warranty (6 years, 70,000 miles bumper to bumper).

Just wondered if it was even worth my time to work the guy on that angle.

I bought my wife a van from Carmax. Great experience. Got the remaining factory warranty and the Carmax warranty. Think it was around 50K miles.

Great experience. Saved a ton of money on a van with under 10K miles. Shopped around for months and they were the cheapest by far.

I also got more than blue book for the POS I traded in.

i can only judge on old information(yrs ago) about them and its not good. used cars are themselves risky form any sort of dealer. public,auctions,used car scum salemen, etc it doesnt matter.

depending on what type, wear, manufacturer, time of year(just sold my jeep, they sell better in warmer climate), market, economy, area, supply/demand you get the price of said car. jeep/convertibles dont sale well in canada, but near a beach and much warmer price gos up.

i would deal with craigslist, ebay, cars.com etc. before carmax.

jerry cadorette a fellow puller ran numerous dealships at the same time, said to call around and tell each dealer that you are pricing car X and whats your best no BS price. they get in a bidding war and EVERYONE is dieing to make a sale. if your must have that car at carmax, get another "offer" form a local dealer and see what happens.

do your research and dont be scared to jew them down.

Bump for anymore leads on decent car lots (not necessarily Carmax).

The wife and I have been looking at a variety of used cars in the last month, but no one wants to negotiate. That would be fine if they weren't $1,000 or more above KBB.

Anyone know of anybody selling a cheaper SUV in the $5-7,000 range? Jeep Grand Cherokee, Jeep Liberty, Hyundai Santa Fe, etc.

Really? I've read positive reviews about all of them on Edmunds. Furthermore, several members of my wife's family have had Jeep products that have really lasted quite a while. Her dad's Jeep has 240,000 miles on it and is running like a champ.

Nothing wrong with a Sante Fe. Hyundai has come a long way. It's gonna be hard to find one in that price range, though. Not a newer one, at any rate.

I will never own another jeep, and I've had two. I can't recommend a liberty at all. I hated mine. If you do buy one, I have a panthers tire cover you can have. On the plus side, you an probably pick one up, cheap.

Look at Explorers. The market is flooded with them, and you can usually pick one up for a decent price.

      It is.  Even the mid to late round guys are super appealing and would have been ahead of Trevin in his drafft.  Deontae Lawson - just look his stuff up, lot's to like Jimmy Rolder - absolute force.  Limited sample size but the sample is pretty dope.  (one of my favorite sleepers) Keyshaun Elliott - stud run defender, great size/length, is always wrapping plays up, high IQ.  Even this dude Owen Heinecke is an interesting guy.  Not some dog in the middle but will absolutely be an asset for particular teams (I.E. Minny would be an awesome fit)

      Panthers HC Dave Canales hints at adding more weapons for QB Bryce Young

      It's not explicitly saying it, it's suggesting that we draft a certain position, regardless if the receiver has the higher grade.  We would never had made the playoffs without T-mac. Morgan did the absolutely right thing, and that's what I hope he continues to do in the draft, which is follow the board and draft impact players. He used free agency to set up the draft for just that purpose. For anyone that thinks last season was anything but an improvement, I don't know what to tell 'em.  The goal is to keep the momentum going, and I'd say that addressing our three biggest needs with arguably the best players at their respective positions this free agency, and legit quality players to boot, goes along way toward building the foundation of long term success. Before free agency, no one was picking us to win the division, now more than a few analysts are, and that's before the draft. Pull your bootstraps up where you are and get to work. We aren't as good as we need to be, but the needle is moving in the right direction.

      The Bengals absolutely fuged up paying Higgins elite WR money. You can't have your QB and two WRs eating up your whole cap or you end up with... well, the Bengals. Your QB is getting killed because your OL is trash and you can't stop anybody because your D is trash because you can't afford a balanced roster. Unless you're smacking it out of the park in the draft you're gonna be hard pressed to put a good team on the field despite an elite QB and WRs.
