Do you have reliable transportation?
In many states, it is illegal for an interviewer to directly ask if you have a car. This question is designed to navigate around that question and determine whether you would be reliable and have a strong attendance record. Additionally, it may offer them a clue whether you are a CarMax customer. The best brand ambassadors started as customers themselves. So this is another way of them finding out if you have a car and whether you bought or sold through CarMax before. Taking these above points into consideration, answer this question any way you feel comfortable doing so.
"I have a well-maintained vehicle, and I am comfortable with the amount of travel required to get to the store every day. In fact, I bought and sold my last few cars through CarMax."
"I take public transit and find it to be very reliable. I was late to work only once last year due to a snowstorm that stalled all of the employees' commutes -- including those with personal vehicles. Rest assured, I am reliable and will always come to work on time."
