If you owe more than your offer, you will need to cover the difference. In some cases, the amount can be included in your financing or paid directly to CarMax. CarMax will accept a personal check for amounts under $250. For larger amounts, CarMax stores accept cashier’s checks, certified checks, certified funds, cash, and debit cards.
When you sell a car to CarMax, do they give you a check or send it to your bank? It depends on the deal you make. If you sell your car for less than what’s owed on it, then CarMax will likely send you a check.
However, if your car is worth more than what’s owed, CarMax may instead offer to pay off the balance with a loan. Either way, it’s important to know the specifics of your sale before signing anything!
