I don't like the depreciation in a new car but I felt I had to prowl a bunch of new-car dealership back lots to find a decent used one. It was time for a new set of wheels. Anyway, I drove past Automax and didn't think much about it at the time but I did remember the sign on the wall: onlynicecars, which is their website. I did a web search and found quite the inventory. I did more and narrowed my choices and compared prices and found they had over 300 cars in two locations, and several fit into my taste and budget. I went back and got the Acura I settled on at a simple and fair price. They transfered the registration right there and put an inspection sticker on and I drove it away two days after I first drove it. I loved the idea that I didn't have to fight a salesman for a better price; their no-haggle price was really low already, so I felt like I automatically got a deal just walking in. They also shopped my credit around and got me financed cheaper than I thought I could. The Acura's a lease-return, so it was taken care of and was therefore in great shape with not a lot of miles on it. It's smart economic sense to buy used and not new, and AutoMax Preowned is an easy place to get the right car at a price you can enjoy, too.
Pros: Wide selection, price, easy sales process, service after the sale.
Cons: Had cars I never considered so got a little overwhelmed.
