CarMax

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.

Good lord son.

Buy a Ford Explorer before any of those mentioned.

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.

    • I am trying to remember when I EVER said reach for need. My thing if someone falls you jump, if you can trade back a few slots and get help at the right value and pick up some ammo to move up from 51 which I think is outside the money zone, then you do that.   Take a WR later. Plenty of capable WRs have come from the 3rd round. Though this year I would go for C there if there was a reasonable choice. Take a TE if you must. I see more reason to take WR than TE. I think you give guys drafted two years ago and last year a chance to develop before cancelling them.    I think it is kind of unrealistic to throw everything all in on offense in hopes of going deep in the playoffs after an 8-10 year, even if it did have some nice bright spots in it.    And outside of this argument but relevant to it, I am bothered by Canales and Morgan and their apparent posture that we have arrived and are now in the big boy club. I don’t know where that comes from. They are out there talking like they are winners at 8-10. Backing into the playoffs in a real convoluted tie breaker scenario. They had some good games, yes. But the big feather n the cap, the LA Rams matchups, did you see what the Rams did? They didn’t fire the coaches but they fired their defensive backs. Bryce beat them yes, and it was pretty, but it was kind of like the Bucs and Mike Evans picking on our decimated secondary in 2022. Someone (Wilks) went down for allowing that to happen and they went down in LA too.  Wr aren’t as good as a whole lot of homers think we are. Shore up the trenches.    I think too many fans buy into it because they are so starved for anything that looks like a winner. 
    • How exactly does one win OROY "by default"? Wouldn't winning the award mean that of the two, McMillon stayed strong the entire year while the other guy didn't and fizzled out? That's like saying Secretariat only won by default because the other horse stopped moving midway through the race. Absolutely zero logic in that statement, which makes me very glad that I've never really paid much attention to Walterfoozball.
    • I agree, teams in the past have fired the HC in order to retain a coach on staff...hell it happened to Mcderp this year, rams in the past and Im missing another.  The fall off for the Panthers team defense was huge once Mcderp leftd and Ron could not fix it even when he named himself DC.
