In the current economic environment, inflation and rising interest rates continue to be top of mind for many consumers. With CarMax’s pre-qualification capability, used car shoppers can know what they can afford from the beginning of their journey and feel confident they are on track to find the right car that fits both their needs and budget.
The experience is available on CarMax.com and the CarMax mobile app. Once pre-qualified, customers can use their pre-qualification to shop on CarMax.com with their personalized finance terms, adjusting filters like down payment to see how it impacts their terms, or filter to show only vehicles that meet their personalized monthly payment budget.

- Save time and search efficiently with budgeting answers upfront and the ability to sort and filter vehicles using personalized monthly payment and down payment options
- Soft credit inquiry with no impact to credit score

Customers have access to personalized results to see how each of their top vehicle choices fits both their budget and style.
