This isn't the case for the majority of the time. If you are eying a car they are desperate to unload, the dealer might beat carmax, but that's a whole other can of worms since they are making it up somewhere else.

OP, the offer is good for 7 days I believe. You can use it as leverage at the dealer, but most of the time, the dealer cannot beat carmax. Carmax has a lower overhead than the dealer they can make those kind of offers.

You can almost always get a better deal in a private sale, that goes without saying.
