KEY RATING DRIVERS
Consistent Credit Quality: 2015-3 is in line with the prior five transactions from a collateral credit quality perspective. The weighted average (WA) FICO is 700. However, there is a slight increase in greater than 60 month loans at 58.8%.

Adequate Credit Enhancement (CE) Structure: Initial CE for the class A notes has dropped slightly since 2015-2, while CE on the class B, C, and D notes has increased. Initial excess spread is 4.48%, lower than 2015-2 as well. Loss coverage for all notes is adequate to support Fitch's 2.40% base case proxy for the respective ratings.

Stable Portfolio/Securitization Performance: Losses on CAF's portfolio and 2010-2014 securitizations have remained below the peak levels seen in 2008.

Evolving Wholesale Market: The U.S. wholesale vehicle market (WVM) is normalizing following strong performance in recent years. Fitch expects increasing used vehicle supply from off-lease vehicles and trade-ins to pressure ABS recovery rates, leading to moderately higher loss rates. Fitch's analysis accounts for this risk by including periods of weak WVM performance in the derivation of its base case loss expectation.

Stable Origination, Underwriting and Servicing: Fitch believes CAF to be a capable originator, underwriter and servicer for CAOT 2015-3.

Integrity of the Legal Structure: The legal structure of the transaction should provide that a bankruptcy of CAF would not impair the timeliness of the payments on the securities.

RATING SENSITIVITIES
Unanticipated increases in the frequency of defaults and loss severity on defaulted receivables could produce loss levels higher than the base case. In turn, it could result in potentially adverse rating actions on the notes. Fitch evaluated the sensitivity of the ratings assigned to all classes of CarMax Auto Owner Trust 2015-3 to increased losses over the life of the transaction. Fitch's analysis found that the notes display some sensitivity to increased defaults and losses. In fact, they could lead to potential downgrades of up to one category under Fitch's moderate (1.5x base case loss) scenario. The notes could experience downgrades of two to three rating categories under Fitch's severe (2.5x base case loss) scenario.

DUE DILIGENCE USAGE
Additionally, Fitch was provided with third-party due diligence information from KPMG LLP. The third-party due diligence focused on comparing or recomputing certain information with respect to 125 loans from the statistical data file. Fitch considered this information in its analysis, and the findings did not have an impact on our analysis. A copy of the ABS Due Diligence Form-15E received by Fitch in connection with this transaction may be obtained through the link contained on the bottom of the related rating action commentary (RAC).
