About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At CarMax, a delivery driver noticed something odd one morning. As he unloaded cars from the truck, he kept hearing an eerie voice over the intercom: ‘This vehicle belongs to no one… yet.’ Curious, he followed the sound and found an old radio stuck in the glove compartment of one car. After some fiddling, they turned it off—and silence returned. From then on, whenever someone mentioned ghosts, the delivery driver just smiled knowingly. The end.

2. At CarMax, an early-morning security guard grumbled, ‘Another day, another hundred cars.’ But when he counted them that night, there were only ninety-nine. Soon enough, a delivery driver arrived with one extra car. The guard scratched his head and said, 'I guess I missed one.' That evening, after counting again, he grinned sheepishly—now they had exactly one hundred cars.

3. At CarMax, every afternoon around three o’clock, a faint humming sound would drift through the showroom. Employees first thought it was their imagination, but soon realized it came from the exact same spot in the used-car lot. One day, an old man approached the counter and asked if he could buy the car that made the humming noise. Turned out, he’d been hearing it for years too—from his house across the street. It seemed the sound wasn’t coming from any car at all, just from an old refrigerator left behind during a delivery. Everyone had a good laugh, and CarMax added another story to their urban legend collection.

4. At CarMax, on particularly foggy mornings, employees began noticing strange reflections in the showroom windows. As they investigated, one employee spotted a delivery driver adjusting his rearview mirror just so. It turned out that every foggy day, an old VW Beetle would mysteriously appear, its reflection causing those odd glimmers. The legend grew until finally, someone joked that CarMax had acquired a ghostly fleet—until everyone realized it was just their friendly neighborhood mechanic’s prank.
