Tips on Buying Cars: Car, gas mileage, bargaining power

Question
Hi Ray,

Due to short notice I was have about a week to purchase a car.  This is the first car I am purchasing and which I know will be a used one.  I just graduated from college and started working so my budget is fairly limited, about 11,000.  I am almost positive I am purchasing a Honda Civic because of the gas mileage.  I was thinking about purchasing from CarMax.  Also important to note is that I am able to pay off the car completely, will that give me additional bargaining power?  Any advice will be greatly appreciated!

Regards,

Mike
