I fully agree with IMRight. There isnt a magical MD Inspection fairy that goes around inspecting cars. It was a Carmax associate who did it. Therefor instead of Carmax "Trying to sell" you a car that had problems it was actually Carmax "Refusing to sell" you a car that had problems by doing the inspection to MD requirements. It is well known that VA standards are more laid back than MD standards. If you looked at them online before pointing the finger of blame you might educate yourself a bit and keep yourself from looking silly in the future. Regarding the fleet vehicle. You know that your parents would have bought it anyways, at least I hope they would have. It was a good deal, because it would have been the same deal. It would not have impacted the sale one bit if they know what they are doing. They would have still inspected and tested the car for themselves and deemed it acceptable or unacceptable. They were just lucky to receive a payment from a class action lawsuit. Its silly to make them out to be the ones who brought about the case.

Where was the Rip off? Did you have to pay for the transfer? If so did you get a full refund? First of all, Carmax did not sell the vehicle which was not in proper condition. Now, every State has different inspection standards, and a car in VA could pass or fail in MD for a variety of reason and vice versa. For example, Aftermarket window tint on a Maryland Passenger vehicle (Sedan, coupe, wagon) would fail an inspection. Also, Carmax technicians perform their own State inspections, and more than likely found the issues with the vehicle. I know this, because My vehicle was inspected at the laurel location, and the address on my copy of the inspection station was the same, as the address of the Carmax I purchased my F150 from. Now for the Prior history disclosure, it was a class action settlement in which Carmax failed to disclose the prior history of a vehicle in certain categories, such as if it was a Rental, or Fleet vehicle, according to the settlement info I received. However, this does not speak to the mechanical condition of the vehicle. think about it, a vehicle in a rental fleet has to be maintained to certain standards for the rental companies success, as well as state law. Therefore, a rental vehicle, could be in better condition than some other vehicles. Also, the last time i purchased a vehicle at carmax, they went out of their way to disclose the prior history of a vehicle in accordance with Maryland Law, and even gave me copies of the report of after i purchased my Ford. They even had the same report online, so me or anyone could review the history of the vehicle, before i arrived at the dealer. My advise is to simply ask questions when you are unclear about something, and they will clarify your uncertainty. Also be sure to clarify your confusion before yelling "rip-off"
