Edit: no one from CarMax has offered anything or even contact me. After going to all the used car…read moredealers from Temecula all the way down to El Cajon, without a doubt CarMax stood out as the best. While I bought the car expecting a vehicle that needed almost no service, there is nothing in this market nowadays like that. If a vehicle is traded in and especially from auction it's a problem car. Even dealership get fooled so I would never buy an auction car. Having said that in this case the CarMax dealership is a clear winner in all of this mess. Sadly. I had a bit of a "tale of two experiences" at this location. I recently purchased a 2019 Lexus RX 350, and initially, I was ready to give a 5-star review. The sales process was incredibly smooth--no pressure, the paperwork was efficient, and the staff at the Dan Way location were professional and welcoming. However, the "after-care" has been a different story. Shortly after the purchase, a mechanical issue arose that was clearly covered under the 30-day limited warranty. While I expected a quick fix, the service department has made it incredibly difficult to actually get the car in. When there the team could not diagnose the issue and asked to have me return if the issue persists. However; The Challenges: * Scheduling: Trying to get an appointment was a headache. I was told they were "extremely busy" and couldn't see the car for over a week, despite it being a warranty issue on a car they just sold me. * Resolution: While the issue is technically "covered," the hurdle of getting it diagnosed and repaired has turned an "easy" buying experience into a stressful ownership experience. I love the Lexus, but the service side of this CarMax needs a major overhaul in terms of accessibility and customer support. If you buy here, just be prepared for a potential fight if anything goes wrong during your warranty period

My friend and I like how convenient it is to come to a CarMax dealership and have plenty of options to look at--and to NOT be approached or pestered by annoying salespeople! We left earlier than expected since my friend disliked most of the "cars' makes." She was really hoping there was going to be other affordable certified used BMW's.

If you have a non running car I think Escondido Cash for Cars is a very good option.

The car needed some serious mechanic work that I could not imagine any private party would want to do. The best part is they even sent one of these guys out with a tow truck to tow it away once they bought it. It was a very easy way for me to get rid of a car which ulitimately had no value to me. I would truly recommend this company to all.

Never would I have thought selling a car site unseen would be so ridiculously easy…read more I was waiting for my new vehicle to arrive, so I decided to check with Carvana how much I'd get for my 2018 Lexus IS350 F-sport. All I had to do was input some information like the VIN, mileage, make and model on to their site. The price came up with a price I was looking for, but the price is only guaranteed for one week. Well my car wasn't going to be ready in another 3 weeks. Well when I was ready to sell, to my surprise the price was over $1,000 more than the original price. I was so pleased with the great price they bought my car. All I had to do next was take a pic of the odometer, my driver license front and back, and my bank information inorder to get the funds ACH'd to my account, which I was told it would take one to two business days for the funds to be deposited. I then scheduled for my car to be picked up at my home on a Sunday, which was a cost a mere $90. The day Carvana picked up my car, all I had to do was provide the Carvana guy was the title, and the two key FOBs. Easy as one, two, three. To my surprise, the next day the funds were deposited in my bank account. If you need to sell your car, I highly recommend Carvana. I'd definitely use them again.

I purchased a Certified 2022 Prius, but "certified" clearly doesn't mean certified at this dealership. Within days, the gas door wouldn't open and the car wouldn't take fuel. From the start, the dealership was shady on the contract. They quoted me one price, but the final paperwork showed a completely different price. When I spoke up, instead of addressing it professionally, they got angry and ultimately broke the contract--clearly because honoring it didn't benefit them. After contacting Toyota Corporate, the dealership escalated their hostility. They were rude, confrontational, and even threatened to call the police while I was on the phone explaining the situation. At the end, they falsely accused me of not returning a spare key, which I had already given back--they lost it and tried to blame me.lies lies lies !! Their Yelp reviews say it all. Dealerships like this scam customers, treat them with intimidation, and refuse accountability. I would never recommend buying from them.I will never buy Toyota here or anywhere else because of the actions of this dealership and from the looks of it many people feel the same way about this dealership.GOOD LUCK . As I still haven't received a response on Yelp from Jessica regarding my horrible experience with this dealership, here's my update: I am now purchasing a Tesla. As I said before, Toyota of Escondido lied about the so-called "no funding." They broke the contract because they didn't want to give me another car of equal or higher value. They canceled the deal on the same day I called corporate--after I had already had the "Toyota Certified" vehicle for a week. And honestly, if it was truly "certified," how do you miss something as basic as the gas door not opening? They claimed I didn't have funding, which was a complete excuse. Shady place, all crooks. Get a Honda or a Tesla--I love mine!

Later, the owner Andy (aka AJ) helped me find a used 22R engine for my 1982 Toyota Sunrader RV, and later, a hood. Both those were located in LA. Then after I bought the motor, Andy bought my no good 22R engine that his neighbor took out. My hood got all rusted out from being exposed to the ocean dew for only a year. Andy looked up something for me on ChatGPT, which I at that time last year, never heard of. Now I can thank Andy for introducing me to ChaptGPT, because I chat with Chat every single day. Andy also introduced me to a "really cheap, REALLY cheap!" (those are Andy's exact words) mechanic across the street that put in the used 22R motor I bought for $850 labor. Andy said he uses that mechanic sometimes too, for his own car. I wrote separate 5 star review about that business, too. Here is picture of my 1982 Toyota Sunrader that Andy helped me find parts for.
