Is CarMax a good place to get financing for a car?

I have my eye on a car at CarMax because of its low mileage and good price. Should I also go through them for financing? I've heard both the good and bad. Is CarMax a good place to get a car loan?

CarMax is probably one of the better
dealers
to get a car loan with. They have their own in-house finance department, CarMax Auto Finance, as well as relationships with other lenders like Capital One, Ally, Chase, and more.
They also allow preapproval, so you can put together a budget before purchasing.
However, you shouldn’t automatically go with CarMax. Just like
car insurance
, it’s important to comparison shop.
While you’ll still want to apply for preapproval with CarMax, you can compare their offer with other lenders.
Don’t forget that when you buy a new vehicle, you will need proper coverage. If you haven’t already found insurance, use the free
