A little over a year ago I bought a 2010 Hyundai Sonata from the local Carmax. I even sprung for the extended warranty, which is something I never do. Well, she needs a bit of attention now. Passenger door handle broke off, drivers window operator stopped. Called today to schedule an appointment and was delighted to learn both problems were covered under the warranty. They even provide a rental while the car is in the shop. After reading all the dealer nightmares that many have gone through, I am truly a happy boy right now.

It's good to know that there are still a few companies out there that aren't just looking to slip you the green weenie.

Their extended warrant is amazing. Jalopnik writer Doug Demuro has been doing articles about his Range Rover he bought from them, halfway through the warranty and it's paid for itself. It's been a while since they've done a Carmax roundup, but they are the place to go for notoriously finicky and expensive to repair vehicles with that warranty.

Yup, when my Mom finally relented buying a new(er) car, we went straight to CarMax. I didn't want to dink around with a normal dealer. Even better, the price was fantastic (and below KBB). Mom splurged on the warranty and now I never have to worry again about her car breaking down.

BTW, they have a 2012 GT500: http://www.carmax.com/enus/view-car/default.html?id=12457277&AVi=6&No=0&Rp=R&D=50&zip=30071&N=258+4294963136&Us=15&Q=2c5e386b-9b1a-49d5-afbb-400a66cf0bda&Ep=search:results:results%20page

That's 550hp with an available warranty.
