Any one have any dealings with Cargurus? I've been looking at the site and find there is a few vets that I find would be to my liking. Do they screen the dealers that list with them? thank you.

This was about six months ago but one of my coworkers was looking for a truck for his son and found a nice one (94 Toyota) on car guru that after back in forth trying to go see it eventually found out from the owner that it was located in Denmark. The owner were willing to arrange shipping.

They are just like Autotrader, but market price strength info is pretty helpful. I usually use Carurus to troll cars within 200 miles and then target cars/dealers when I am in the market, which is too often...

Recommend you check out Vroom too. When went to their showroom in Dallas all their cars seem very clean and the price includes shipping to you, so you can buy from any of their locations and get what you find.

When I was looking for a C5 I used cargurus quite a bit, along with other sites. I found cargurus to be very helpful in trying to locate a very specific C5. The search engine allowed me to get very specific and weed out any cars that weren't within my interest area. I was willing to travel for the right car and ended up finding what I wanted in VA (I live in Tx). Took a rental car road trip, took a look and did some checking, bought it and drove it home. Of course you still need to do your due diligence on any car. Turns out it was one of my better purchases. Bottom line, I though cargurus was a big help, especially so for narrowing a search down to a fine point and looking nation wide. Best wishes!
