Anything I should look for specifically? Got a line of a good deal and my '02 broke on my last night for the last time.

Take your time and drive it when it's cold outside and see how it drives while the car is warming up.

I bought my 2010 sight unseen from carmax. No problems. I really don't think there'd be many problems with them yet, as most should be at about the 12-15k mark.

So, the moral of the story is I bought it.


Man, I've test driven a few cars but never have I struggled that much to keep a poker face at the negotiation table. Excuse the poor picture. My camera is older than you.

Looks awesome, man. Those poker faces can be hard when a Mustang is involved, cause usually you look like this

My wife was like "Why do you seem so pissed? You're about to buy a really cool car!"

Congrats on the new ride!

I bought my '05 GT from CarMax as well....they were really great to deal with. Not much haggling with them. Which is good, because my poker face was gone on the test drive with the salesman in the car when I went into the highway onramp getting sideways, and hit 80 before I merged with traffic. The salesman said "I think you found your car".....I had to agree.

My wife didn't even know that I was seriously looking for another car until I called her at 7:00 at night and told her to grab the title for my truck and bring it to me....LOL

Congrats! I still have a hard time not looking silly driving mine. I let my wife do the yea/nay on the dealing with the salesman, 'cause my haggling ability was never there.
