When my friend asked me to go car shopping with him, I was not looking forward to it. All of my previous experiences, for the most part, had been with the stereotypical sleazy car sales man, and I was not in the mood to put up with that. However, Carmax blew me away. When we walked in a told the man that we just wanted to look he was okay with that! He gave us his card, and then explained the layout of the lot. He didn't follow us around, either! I think other car dealerships could learn a lesson from these guys. Carmax creates a good buying atmosphere, where you're allowed to think for yourself and not feel pressure.
