CarMax the Best Buy of Used Car Dealers

16_freak_carmax.jpg

While we’re not quite sure just how different CarMax is from other used car dealers with their claims of return policies and “buy without sell” but they sure are different in that they look much more like a Wal-Mart of a Best Buy than most cheesy, flag-flying used car lots. The company has just launched a two-part Boone/Oakley-created television campaign. The first part focuses on the brand with three very un-used car-like commercials set in Rome and the Old West. A second set of commercial focuses on the unique differences between CarMax and other used car dealers. We especially like the freaked out 16 year old who pitches a fit after realizing the nw car her fathr just bought her int eh wrong color. Cue “5 day return policy” voice over. For the most part, good stuff if not a bit off the wall. (Click more for links to spots.)
