    RICHMOND, Va. - CarMax Auto Superstores, Inc. announced today that American 
Suzuki Motor Corporation has granted CarMax a new-car franchise point that is 
being operated from the CarMax Auto Superstore in Garland, Texas.

extensive selection of top-quality used cars since its opening in 1998.
Beginning today, it adds the complete family of new Suzuki SUVs and cars.

    "The success we have enjoyed since opening the Garland location clearly
indicates that consumers like the quality and depth of our selection; our low,
no-haggle prices; and the guaranteed satisfaction we provide," said W. Austin

with the addition of new Suzuki vehicles.  It is a winning combination for the
customer, for Suzuki and for CarMax."

franchise point, "This is a great opportunity for Suzuki in the Dallas-Ft.
Worth market. I believe CarMax's innovative sales approach with its emphasis
on customer satisfaction will serve to enhance our image in the Dallas market.

CarMax/Suzuki relationship will only grow stronger as we move forward."

superstore locations in the Dallas/Ft. Worth area: Texas Stadium, Plano and
