Does CarMax buy cars with mechanical issues?

Our experience with Vantage was extraordinary. Unexpectedly we found ourselves in a panic when our car just stopped and it was clear to us that we needed a new car! Our son recommended Mark Viegas and from start to finish, each step was seamless. Every person we encountered was professional , knowledgeable and excellent at their job. We were able to sell our original car and purchase a new car without any stress. We highly recommend Vantage Auto Group, Many Thanks for making this experience such a positive one Brad was also a pleasure to work with making sure the delivery was seamless

Had an Amazing experience with Vantage Auto Group & David Alessio! This was the first time using them. I didn’t have a clear Idea of a car we wanted but needed to stay inside a budget. I was referred by a friend to not waste my time with going to multiple dealership to play the negotiating games. David gave us some recommendations, did some pricing and then came back with an amazing find and deal right under budget. 24 hours later they delivered the car, I signed the paperwork & everything was seamless. They returned my old lease and plates to DMV. Door to door service with no hassle or dealership games. Will def use again in the future! Thank you again!

I just leased my new 2026 Nissan Rogue through Vantage Auto Group, and the experience was fast, easy, and completely stress-free. I worked with Charles Serpone, who was prompt, knowledgeable, and professional every step of the way. He listened to what I wanted and helped me get the exact price I was aiming for. I couldn’t be happier with the process — highly recommend Vantage Auto Group and Charles for anyone looking to lease their next vehicle!

Charlie is the man! We’re so happy with our experience. Charlie went above and beyond to make sure we got exactly what we wanted... a 2025 black on black stick Jeep that’s absolutely perfect. He put in the extra effort to get the deal done and made the whole process smooth from start to finish. You can tell he genuinely cares about his customers. Highly recommend Charlie and the team if you want someone who’ll really go to bat for you.
