Carmax "no haggle" pricing
I don't have experience buying from Carmax but what does the "No Haggle" pricing exactly mean? Is it that they will not negotiate at all? unlike other car dealerships?
Also, is Carmax a recommended place to buy used cars or are there better options out there?

No they don't haggle. Of course you can just ask them to call you when they lower the price on a car. That's a kind of haggle.
Carmax, from all I've heard, is a good place to explore and try out cars, because their inventory is large.
Here's Edmunds opinion on CARMAX.

Some rental cars get much better service than some private party cars. It all depends. The used car has to stand up for itself. Either it will pass a thorough inspection or it won't.5

You mentioned explore and try out - does that mean that it may not be a good place to actually buy one? I am in the market for a used car and wanted to see if I should consider them for actually purchasing the vehicle.
As for 'what's the best place', I think the car and the price have to speak for themselves. If it's the car you want at the price you want, and you have written warranties (when applicable), then that's the best place for you.
Important factors for me which I always check for :
Mileage, number of owners, no fleet or rental, clean inside and blemish free outside, clean under the hood : no oil leaks, no battery leakage,, no rust, hoses in new condition, oil level full with clean oil, coolant looking fresh, ....
Peek under the car for rust and oil leaks.
wheels and tires good condition.
Thats my idea of a car I would buy as used if it meets those criteria.
