Scout Partner with Carmax for Delivery?

  • From all of us at Scout Motors, welcome to the Scout Community! We created this community to provide Scout vehicle owners, enthusiasts, and curiosity seekers with a place to engage in discussion, suggestions, stories, and connections. Supportive communities are sometimes hard to find, but we're determined to turn this into one.

    Additionally, Scout Motors wants to hear your feedback and speak directly to the rabid community of owners as unique as America. We'll use the Scout Community to deliver news and information on events and launch updates directly to the group. Although the start of production is anticipated in 2026, many new developments and milestones will occur in the interim. We plan to share them with you on this site and look for your feedback and suggestions.

    How will the Scout Community be run? Think of it this way: this place is your favorite local hangout. We want you to enjoy the atmosphere, talk to people who share similar interests, request and receive advice, and generally have an enjoyable time. The Scout Community should be a highlight of your day. We want you to tell stories, share photos, spread your knowledge, and tell us how Scout can deliver great products and experiences. Along the way, Scout Motors will share our journey to production with you.

    Scout is all about respect. We respect our heritage. We respect the land and outdoors. We respect each other. Every person should feel safe, included, and welcomed in the Scout Community. Being kind and courteous to the other forum members is non-negotiable. Friendly debates are welcomed and often produce great outcomes, but we don't want things to get too rowdy. Please take a moment to consider what you post, especially if you think it may insult others. We'll do our best to encourage friendly discourse and to keep the discussions flowing.

    So, welcome to the Scout Community! We encourage you to check back regularly as we plan to engage our members, share teasers, and participate in discussions. The world needs Scouts™. Let's get going.


    We are Scout Motors.

Maybe Scout could contract with Carmax at a flat rate for consumer delivery of the Scouts? A wholesale or fleet rate flat fee?

Scout & Carmax could profit from finance, used car trade-ins and subsequent sales, etc.

Scout would have immediate access to over 253 Carmax locations and the infrastucture, etc.

CarMax's gross profit per retail used vehicle generally hovers around $2,300, while their gross profit per wholesale unit is around $1,000. (A.I.)

Performance Summary
CarMax's latest twelve months gross profit margin is 12.2%

How does CarMax's Gross Profit Margin benchmark against competitors?

CarMax Gross Profit Margin Benchmarks
Name Ticker Gross Profit Margin
CarMax Inc NYSE:KMX 12.2%
Lithia Motors Inc NYSE:LAD 15.4%
Sonic Automotive Inc NYSE:SAH 15.4%
Group 1 Automotive Inc NYSE:GPI 16.3%
Penske Automotive NYSEAG 16.5%
Asbury Automotive NYSE:ABG 17.2%
AutoNation Inc NYSE:AN 17.9%

Easier said than done, but we need to devise a plan to circumvent the NADA & dealers. LoL!!!

Okay, if not Carmax, then how about a Scout EV multi-state buying cooperative or non-profit to facilitate the sale to consumers.?
