Some Listings May Be a Scam. While convenient for communicating with sellers, Facebook Marketplace may not be the most reliable way to buy a used car online. Sellers don't have to upload their VIN or other information to verify they own the vehicle or that the information they put on their listings is accurate.

One reason for this is that a private seller may be more concerned with simply getting a fair price and finding someone to take the car off their hands. Dealerships, on the other hand, have overhead and profit to worry about, so dealer pricing is likely to be higher compared to a private seller.

CarMax has a no-haggle policy, which means you can't negotiate the price. This can be a benefit, though, because you know you're getting CarMax's best rate first instead of a lowball offer.
