I have a deep respect for business models like that at CarMax, or Blue Nile, and even The Motley Fool. What these companies have done is take an industry that was somewhat shady, made its customers feel awkward, and never guaranteed the same price or...

‘Old is Gold’ and that’s what CarMax weighs its whole business on! CarMax after an excellent first half is all set for a stable second half as well. A leading operator in the sale of used vehicles, KMX operates 71 used car superstores in 34 markets,...

Been watching this stock for a little while in my CAPS Watchlist. Many smart Fools like this one. The 13% drop today looks like a classic overreaction from Wall Street. You just gotta love the company's business model in offering reliable, non-shady ...

Carmax is an amazing used car company. They make good use of technology to manage their inventory and make online searching simple. Their sales system is organized but not overbearing. They will appraise your car and offer to buy it even if you don't...

This is a longterm growth story. Price is a bit ahead of itself as of the date of this pick though. KMX is to used cars what WMT and HD are to their segments. Except with KMX, nobody not even WMT has been able to go head to head with them. KMX ha...

This stock is way oversold. I had to give up a smudge waiting too see if it was completely beaten down, but this is where car buying needs to be heading. Anyone who bought a car from Carmax will attest that it is a different experience from a tradit...
