Oh absolutely, you get the best deal buying from an individual. Likewise you get the most out of selling a used car by selling it yourself.
But you have to deal with haggling in both of those scenarios and deal with a lot of idiots. My tolerance is pretty low in my old age. I'll pay the extra to save the time and hassle.

When I was looking at used trucks before I bought the Ranger, I also had him check a couple at Carmax - they were NOT cherry picked.

Totally different experiences. I've bought one there myself and know lots of people who have used them. I dont recall any problems at all with the cars or the experience. I'd buy from 'em again. I'm starting to think you have bad CARma... :P

They'll buy any car. They dont put 'em all on their lots. They keep the best ones to sell themselves and wholesale the rest.

Oh, I'm with you there. I've only done it a couple of times in my life. So long as the 0% financing deals last, I wouldn't bother with a used car.
