I’ve driven a Jeep off road (tons of fun) and on the highway (lotta noise) and not really for me. But for a brand that has survived being owned by American Motors, Chrysler, Daimlier, Fiat, and maybe Renault next, and a World War, it must have something going for it. Was surprised to find this 11 year old, lovely yellow, 2008 Jeep Wrangler X unicorn sporting less than 6,000 miles on the CarMax website today. That’s 10 miles per week of driving!! But here’s the downside; per this Car and Driver review from 2008, it looks like this car is actually listing at CarMax for the same price as when it was new!
It’s a manual transmission, six cylinder legit Jeep. With a bad ass subwoofer. Surprised this little box weighs in at 4,200 pounds. But it’s a real Jeep. And with these miles, you could buy the MaxCare warranty for up to 150,000 miles. Think about it – you could drive five more years, almost 30,000 miles a year, worry free with a bumper-to-bumper warranty. That would be a rough 30,000 miles of highway driving annually!  Find it here in Los Angeles. 
This 2015 Jaguar XF Supercharged is posted as a six cylinder but is clearly a 5.0l V-8. All the other CarMax XF’s are sixes, and this one might be a bit underpriced for a 470hp mid-sized sedan. 
Eagle-eyed blog reader Hans Mertens, owner of a first generation 2006 GP1, sent me this 
Posted the 2008 Ford Mustang Bullitt selling for $15,998 – way underpriced – with only 23,000 miles last month 
Understand GM only imported 1,829 of these Holden Commodore based Pontiac 
Wrote about this 2009 Jaguar XJ8 L 
I mistakenly wrote in August 2018 that it had sold, since it vanished from the net for so long but it had not. Oddly, in one year there’s been no price reduction, despite possibly 
Used to seeing the occasional BMW Alpina B7 unicorn in the CarMax inventory, and maybe a B6 from time to time, but today there are three B7’s for sale in the $40k range. Only a couple of hundred of these $130,000+ sedans make it to the US yearly. 
Add a couple grand for a five year, 150,000 mile MaxCare warranty and you’ve got a worry free long distance cruiser! This 
This 2012 model is the “bargain” at $40,998 with AWD, auto cruise control, black on black, and heated steering wheel – but not much else. Find it 
In the middle of the pack is this 2014 for $44,998. It’s an L model, just the Cold Weather and Executive packages – no auto cruise control…but if you’re into baseball the interior must have come from Wilson.
It’s 
Last is this beautiful 2014 L model at $48,998. Got the NASCAR look black wheels, Driver Assist Package, auto cruise control and nifty video screens in the back. 
Find it 
If it were me I’d be happy to get into the Alpina club with the $40k model, although this year we’ve seen two in the high $30’s at CarMax. Enjoy.
Never occurred to me but this 
Not really a unicorn at this price, but amused that a used 2019 Audi Q8 is already on a CarMax lot. Only 5,000 miles and at $64,998 it’s about $12,000 less than a new one (priced one out with same packages on Audi’s web site). BTW – experimenting with blog post on phone – appreciate patience! 
Unremarkable 
Suspect it rides well although underpowered. No need for MaxCare – still under dealer warranty for some time. Find it 
….and I want you for all time. This adorable 2010 Chevrolet Camaro SS
