I bought my 2011 SS on September 8, 2015. I had CarMax appraise my 2010 LT and they offered me a good deal, far better than my local Chevy dealer. I was not pressured into trading it in, I did let them know that I had another potential buyer for the car. The rep told me that it was okay and had 14 days before the appraisal would become void. Ultimately I sold the car to my cousin at an even better deal than CarMax. CarMax didn't mention the car again while purchasing my 2011 SS.

I had my SS transferred from another CarMax dealership from the east coast. The CarMax rep that helped me through the entire process said, that the farther away that the car is from the area you are located, the higher the cost it is to transfer. For example, my car was being transferred from the east coast to the west coast and it cost $999 to transfer the car. If I had the car transferred from Las Vegas, NV it would have cost me $249 to transfer. The car that I wanted, unfortunately, was on the east coast thousands of miles away from me and in order for me to get what I want I had to pay nearly a grand. Be aware though that once to pay the transfer fee and you do not buy the vehicle you had transferred you cannot get that transfer fee back.

The time it takes for the car to get to your local CarMax varies by distance as well as the transfer truck doing the delivery. My car took 28 days almost a month to arrive. I asked my CarMax rep why so long, he said that truck drivers pick up other vehicles and make other stops and deliveries to other CarMax dealerships along the way.

My experience was positive, but then again they did not need to badger me into buying the car. I went in there knowing what I wanted and I got it, all they had to do was fill in all the paperwork and get in contact with my bank to finance the car.
