I am a - year old - Mom/single parent. I have a - & - year old at home. I am -, I have a -, so I needed something with parking sensors and a back up camera. I trusted CARMA- when I bought a - - - from CarMax in -, Tennessee with an original contract price of $27000.00 at 15.9 % simple interest through Carmax Auto Finance. The driver side door has a defect, and some body/trim damage. I purchased the - car at night, and the door damage is such that you can not see it unless you are looking for it. The bluetooth technology package does n't work, nor the DVD player. The trunk trim was n't secured in, but that is not something the average consumer can detect. The back-up camera does n't work consistently and there is a steering column defect. The vehicle had - miles on it when I bought it. It has approximately - now. I was not made aware of any warranty or what it might cover at the time of purchase, so I incurred a great deal of unnecessary expenses maintaining the vehicle.

According to Carmax records, during the Chapter -, the Trustee made the payments according to the plan he had structured. He determined the value of the car to be $20000.00 in - -. Carmax agreed to take that amount in the Chapter - plan as a payoff amount. At the time I filed for Chapter -, I had paid directly to Carmax approximately $2900.00. From - - thru - - I paid approximately $9100.00 dollars. In - -, I received some assistance and paid $5000.00 dollars to bring the account current.

When I paid the $5000.00 towards my account in -, I was told my payoff ( balance owing to own the car out right ) was approximately $14000.00 dollars. According to CarMax, I have paid a total of $18000.00 towards the purchase of this vehicle I bought for $27000.00 in - - at 15.9 % interest.
