Replying to: dhogue1 (Dec 17, 2008 1:54 pm) Well, I've been thinking of buying used Scion xA? For the past two days, I've been getting bonus' from work that I could easily use for a down payment. First, they had black 5-speed in Indianapolis. They were asking $10,600. Second, they have silver 5-speed in the Chicagoland area for $10,800. Third, they have silver automatic for $11,200 at another Chicagoland location. Before we got into the recession, Carmax was least asking high 12,000s and low 13,000s for these xAs. But the good side of me decided to pay off other debts with the bonus money and decided to save up for the whole stick tag money. Walk in to a dealership with it and buy it in cash; next year. The carmax near me sells new Toyotas....You go to the used side and see base '08 Corolla for 18,000-ish then you go to the new side then you see new '08 Corolla for 16,000-ish. I get a kick when seeing that. lol

Replying to: andeet (Dec 19, 2008 11:16 pm) I know there are like 70 pages of posts, but I can't seem to find an answer to my question. How can CarMax sell a "NEW" car for like $5,000-$8,000 LESS than the dealer does? I've tried to get the answer out of the sales staff at a few different locations, but they won't say anything. They just keep saying, "Come on in and I'll give you an ever BETTER deal than what the internet price shows." Are the "NEW" cars being sold, factory rejects? Had some damage on the way to the dealer? ?!?!?!?!

Circuit City officially is over. My local CC, was packed though out the whole weekend. I haven't seen the parking lot so full since they opened the doors back in '98 or '99. Didn't help the fact, Best Buy is next door. They marked everything down to 30% off in the store. I would of bought a TV but I have more serious problems to repair first. Like my car accident crashed Scion tC (not my fault.) I wonder what is Carmax headquarters was thinking about since they filed bankruptcy? I'm going to guess "Thank God, we branched away when we did." Anyway, my Carmax was sweating few months ago. There was small article in the city's newspaper stating a Illinois car dealership tycoon is in the process of buying a business for the hot location and build new Honda dealership. Well, its been very quiet. I wonder if the economy changed his mind?
