National Press Release

RICHMOND, Va., June 20 /PRNewswire/ -- CarMax, Inc. (NYSE: KMX) the nation's largest retailer of used cars, reports that searches for convertibles and sunroofs increased in online consumer searches on carmax.com in May. According to carmax.com, searches for convertibles were up 32 percent since February. Searches for sunroofs during the same time period had an 11 percent increase. Consumers appear to be interested in taking advantage of the summer sun.

"In sunnier states convertibles are always a popular choice, but in the rest of the country, convertible cars are considered more of a seasonal choice. May searches on carmax.com are reflecting that trend," said Ann Yauger, director of carmax.com. "The recently expanded online vehicle search on carmax.com makes searching for convertibles or vehicles with sunroofs easier and faster with a few simple clicks."

CarMax's buying team offers the following tips to consider when purchasing a convertible:

-- Tops - Weigh the benefits of hard tops vs. soft tops; hard tops eliminate more road noise and are generally more quiet,

-- Safety - Check whether the vehicle has rollover protection and/or side airbags,

-- Rear Window - Keep in mind that plastic windows may require specific cleaning products while glass windows do not.

The website showcases each vehicle with multiple photos, the no-haggle price, and information on features, options, fuel economy and customer reviews.
