I wish all car dealers had the ethics, values and good spirit! I can not wait to work with them again! THANKS NICK and Boutique Motors!!!

I purchased a 2005 4runner from Nicholas a couple weeks ago. He seemed nice, fair, transparent, and…read morehonest over the phone. The pictures he had of the vehicle made it appear in great shape with little to no rust. He was charging a huge premium for the 4runner, which made me think they must have done some extensive work to it before putting it on the market. Boy was I wrong! I accepted delivery about a week after purchasing the vehicle through Nicholas online. The 4runner smelled like dog, had less than a quarter tank of gas in it, and the rust is just really bad. The rims are rusted and bubbling, the frame is rusted, the engine, transmission, axles, nuts, bolts, clamps, all rusted. Nicholas sold me this vehicle that needs extensive work, knowing I was planning to use it to move my family and I when we PCS from California to Colorado. I can't believe an American business would do something like this to a military family. I wouldn't recommend boutique motors to my worst enemy. This 4runner is a huge stress/burden on myself and my family both mentally and financially during a time when we've already got so much on our plate. As if moving to another state wasn't expensive and stressful already, we have this to deal with. Shame on you Nicholas! I hope it was worth it for you.

I wanted to share my experience with CarMax so others can be aware of how their appraisal process…read moreworks. I brought my vehicle directly into a CarMax location and handed the keys to an associate. About 10 minutes later, after they inspected the vehicle, I was given a $29,700 in-person offer. Based on that, I continued my process and also checked values at a couple other dealerships. After doing so, I returned to CarMax--and at that point, they reduced their offer to $23,000, citing "engine concerns." Here's the issue: The original offer was done in person, not online No written diagnostics or documentation were provided to support a $6,700 reduction When I asked to speak with the associate who originally inspected my vehicle (who was working at the time), management declined to involve her I was told they couldn't explain how the original offer was determined To me, this felt like a lack of transparency and consistency in the appraisal process. I understand offers can be adjusted--but a 22% drop after an in-person inspection, with no documentation, raises legitimate concerns. I've since filed a complaint with the Illinois Attorney General's office and am sharing this so others know to get everything in writing and ask detailed questions before relying on an offer. Just something to be aware of if you're considering selling your vehicle to CarMax.

We didn't know what make and model we wanted and found that we could test drive all of the models…read moreof interest here. The sales people were friendly and helpful, although the scheduling process leaves a little to be desired. I still don't understand why 1) their website misleads you on which cars are at each location and 2) they would text me at 7:30 am asking me more questions about my 2:00 pm appointment. We didn't choose to buy from them primarily because the car we liked had a noise problem-- the Carmax team told us it was one thing, but our mechanic confirmed it was not what they claimed. Could not trust them after that even though Carmax offers a warranty. I did appreciate being given access to the Carfax report. Their prices are a little higher than others in town, but you don't have to haggle. Buying a used car is always a challenge. Carmax can be a good option depending upon your situation. It wasn't right for us to buy a 10 year old vehicle, but it might be better for someone who wants something newer with fewer mechanical liabilities.
