Now I've always been drawn to Carmax's no haggle policy. Since I really hate that part of car buying.

But 10.2K for a 99 GTP? Come on get real. I paid 10.2 five years ago for my 98.

They smoke $1k bills Herc.
Went to one once, and saw the prices and was like are they serious.
The oldest car at the time (3 years ago) was like an 2002 on the lot.

I just don't get thier pricing.

I found an 04 CTS V with under 43K on the clock for 22k and an 04 CTS with the same mileage for 18k.

The V is a steal and a performer when compared to a new G8GT.

Herc, their pricing scale is wacky. They seem to have a strange sense of value. Obviously make, model, year, mileage and zip code all affect their price, but they seem to be very hit/miss with varying trim levels. Some models you can find at a steal, but most models are a bit high. However, their no-haggle setup has kept them busy - even in the current economy.

Their no haggle and cheap vehicle transfer keep drawing me to them. I hate haggling. Cause one I suck at it and two I see what I want and I succumb to the "grind".

So you go in there and just pay what the sticker says?
Screw that.
