How to Dispute Unfair CarMax Fees Effortlessly

CarMax has made quite a name for itself in the used car market. With the internet making everything so easily accessible, CarMax has used the platform to outshine competitors. While may have remained consistent in each location, they vary wildly from one location to the next.

This article investigates what fees you can expect to pay when you use CarMax and what your options are for fighting or appealing those fees. One option you will learn about is the Fight and Waive Fees from DoNotPay, which can help with everything from eBay Fees to HOA Fees.

CarMax Transfer Fees

CarMax does not charge for buyers to shop online or at their locations. If you want to test drive a vehicle that is at a different location, that can be arranged by simply paying a transfer fee. The fee is determined by the distance the vehicle has to be moved. If the car is being transferred within the state, the fee will be waived. This fee is non-refundable and you can not get credit applied to the sale price. You are also under no obligation to purchase the vehicle no matter how far it is moved.

CarMax Dealer Fees

Some locations charge a dealer fee to cover the cost of the paperwork. Whether the dealer fee is charged or not, you are still responsible for the cost of the paperwork, registering the vehicle, and tags. This varies dramatically from one location to the next. Some locations do not charge a dealer fee at all, others may charge as much as $1,000. The average is between $400 and $600.

CarMax Delivery Fees

Very similar to the transfer fee, the delivery fee allows for the vehicle to be delivered to your home. This may be a very helpful service if there is a lot of distance between your home and the nearest CarMax location. This fee, too, will depend on the distance the car has to go to be delivered.

Why Do Fees Vary From One Location To The Next?

There are several factors that determine if you will pay each fee and the amount.

  • If you can decide on a car that is in close range, you can skip the transfer fee.
  • If the location you visit does not apply dealer fees, then you can skip those as well. Since you visited the location once delivery would not be necessary so you would have no fees.

Reducing CarMax Fees On Your Own

Here’s how to work on getting CarMax fees taken care of by yourself:

  1. Search online for the nearest CarMax location.
  2. Speak with a representative from that location to determine if the location requires you to pay dealer fees.
