Armie Hammer sells truck he loved ‘intensely’ at CarMax: ‘Can’t afford the gas’ in L.A.

Armie Hammer sold his beloved pickup truck on CarMax because of financial struggles in the wake of his 2021 scandal. So the great-grandson of oil tycoon Armand Hammer traded it in for a “tiny” new car that’s a hybrid, and said he was “probably going to put about 10 bucks of gas in it a month.” “I just keep telling myself that parking is going to be easier and gas is going to be cheaper,” he reasoned. “I’ve been back in L.A. for a couple of weeks now,” he said Tuesday in the Instagram video, which featured what appeared to be a GMC Sierra Denali parked in a CarMax parking lot. This is because I’m selling my truck.” CarMax confirmed Wednesday that the retailer “did not pay or partner with Mr. Hammer on this content.” “Out of respect for his privacy, we won’t be sharing any specifics related to the transaction,” CarMax spokesperson Jennifer Bartusiak said in a statement to The Times. Since being back in the City of Angels the last few weeks, he said that he put about $400 to $500 worth of gas in the truck and “can’t afford the gas anymore.” The sale, he said, was tied to his 38th birthday Wednesday and signaled “new beginnings” for the embattled star.
