CARMAX LAUNCHES COMPREHENSIVE USED CAR ONLINE RECOMMENDATION TOOL

RICHMOND, Va. Sept. 3, 2008; CarMax, Inc. , the nation's largest retailer of used cars, announced the availability of a used car online recommendation tool on carmax.com. The tool is specifically designed to help customers who are just beginning the used car shopping process and who may not know exactly which vehicle they want or need. The Vehicle Recommendation Tool uses a sophisticated system to translate the customer's self-identified preferences into a rank-ordered list of recommended vehicles.

"This new tool will help online used car shoppers navigate through various vehicles so they can begin to narrow down their choices," said Ann Yauger, director of carmax.com. "Using this new technology, the Vehicle Recommendation Tool makes it easier for used car shoppers on carmax.com to find the car or truck that best fits their needs. It could even suggest a vehicle they had not previously considered."

The Vehicle Recommendation Tool can be used by shoppers looking to include fuel-efficient used cars in their list of possibilities. Fuel economy is one of the criteria consumers can use to build their lists in addition to other important criteria, such as vehicle type, usage, year and price.
