About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At CarMax one morning, a delivery driver noticed something odd: every time he parked near the same spot, his coffee cup mysteriously filled with fresh brew from an unknown source. Curious, the driver mentioned it to a nearby mechanic, who grinned and whispered, ‘That’s just old Max trying to cheer you up.’ Turned out, the legendary CarMax owner had a thing for pranks on early-morning staffers. The driver never knew whether to laugh or cry—until he saw Mr. Max himself, winking from behind the wheel of a freshly delivered car.

2. At CarMax, a salesman overheard two customers arguing: ‘Why is it always so hard to find a good deal here?’ The other replied, ‘Because everyone’s trying to sell you a car that doesn’t exist!’ A few days later, an old delivery driver approached another customer and whispered conspiratorially, 'Actually, they’re all real cars—just not the ones you saw on the website!' Everyone burst out laughing, realizing that CarMax was more like a comedy show than a car lot.

3. At CarMax, a customer asked curiously: ‘Why does the same old truck keep following me around?’ Turns out, it was just an overeager delivery driver trying to show off his new truck’s GPS tracking feature. The customer laughed and said, 'Now I know where you are—every time I turn on my computer!'

4. At CarMax, an elderly gentleman approached the service desk and asked, 'Why do they always bring out the exact same lemon yellow Camaro?' The service advisor smiled and replied, ‘Sir, that’s our lucky charm. Every time someone sees it, their worries about buying a used car disappear.’ The old man nodded thoughtfully before asking, ‘And who painted it lemon yellow?’ With a twinkle in his eye, the advisor answered, ‘A delivery driver from Kentucky, sir—just for good luck!’
