The slick car salesman trope is a thing of the past these days — thanks in part to Hall of Fame winner CarMax, a Richmond-born company. CarLotz bills itself as a consignment shop for cars. One of the first things you’ll hear when you walk in the door is a salesperson telling you that he or she doesn’t work on commission. That doesn’t mean CarLotz won’t help you find a car you like, but it does mean it won’t push more expensive cars than your budget allows. And the easy-going atmosphere makes one of the biggest purchases you’ll make feel like a breezy open road.
