Our editor’s take

CarGurus is a good online platform for buying and selling vehicles.

Many customers praise the site for its user-friendly design, detailed vehicle information, pricing comparisons and dealer reviews, which can help streamline the car-buying process.

    Great experience with Freeway Chevrolet in Chandler AZ. We bought 3 vehicles online this month. From the first notification by Erin until the delivery of the vehicles by Andrew it was a very nice experience. Because we bought vehicles for a business there were a few extra challenges that Freeway stood up and accomplished. Thank you very much.

      Years ago we really liked CarGurus. We're dealers and they were a great place to advertise our cars for sale. We signed up with them 3-4 months ago and this time around, the experience has been terrible. Our rep is difficult to reach, does not seem to have a "sense of urgency" when we need assistance or email for information. Our contract has expired but we sent our cancellation notice to them well in advance. Our lazy rep did not submit our cancellation information in a timely manner and now CarGurus is demanding we pay them for an additional month of service. Ya know.. I wouldn't be canceling had I gotten SERVICE the previous 3 months during my contract! I'm certainly not paying for an additional month; that's on them! Our rep has been difficult to reach yes, but you'll definitely hear from them when they want a payment!

      Also? My company website functioned perfectly before I signed up with CarGurus, but since we signed up, we have had lots of functionality problems with our website. I have repeatedly tried to get CarGurus to fix the issues; they place blame on the CRM itself and our webhosting company. Interesting how there were NO WEBSITE ISSUES until I allowed CarGurus to connect with my website. Now I've got to figure out how to get my website fully functional again after this horrible experience. I don't recommend CarGurus at all, to anyone!

      CRITICAL WARNING: Late-Night Exhaustion Tactics, Document Discrepancies & Hostile Management. My household—consisting of a small business owner and a practicing physician—is posting this formal warning regarding the predatory closing protocols and severe administrative misconduct under Senior Partner Chaz ** at Grapevine Ford Lincoln.

      On December 13th, we executed a vehicle purchase under conditions of extreme late-night fatigue at 11:00 PM. The finance department explicitly leveraged our physical exhaustion to execute a bait-and-switch on an advertised corporate promotion, unilaterally compressing a promised 90-day initial payment holiday down to a 45-day billing cycle within the rapid digital signature stack without transparency.

      To compound this, the dealership generated defective closing paperwork by printing a completely non-existent, compiled hybrid address line that merged a legacy historical street address from an entirely different town with our current city parameters—completely ignoring our valid Texas Driver's Licenses handed to them at the desk. This clerical failure caused immediate processing errors with the Texas Department of Motor Vehicles (TxDMV), keeping our official validation stickers in legal limbo and forcing my wife to physically return to the showroom months later to hunt down the missing state tags they failed to deliver.

      When confronted directly with these documented contractual and administrative blunders, Senior Partner Chaz ** completely abandoned professional decorum, launching into an unhinged, emotional, verbal tirade on the phone. If these severe administrative discrepancies were a minor issue or a laughing matter, an executive with his stated decades of administration would have easily dismissed them. Instead, he completely blew up and acted outside of professional character because he knows his staff dropped the ball on legally binding documents, exposing a systematic failure in his administration. State regulatory oversight agencies most definitely need to look into the evening closing structures and contract data workflows utilized by this dealership group expeditiously. Look at every single line of your contract before signing at this location.

      I used CarGurus to look for a van and saw one on JP commercial vehicles site in Doncaster. I paid a deposit dependent on a test drive, I rejected the van as it came with no papers whatsoever. JPC have not returned £300 of my deposit for weeks and constantly lied to me. I’ve contacted CarGurus a week ago and they have done nothing at all. They’ve not replied to my email or my concerns. CarGurus is just a catchy title to entice you in on the esoteric implication that dealers have been vetted. They haven’t, and are toothless with customer issues with dealers.

      ***BEWARE!*** Spoke to sales in the early morning on 3-13-2026 about a car. they said it was available and they sent me the credit application. I filled it out with in 5 minutes. They called me about 30 min later telling me I was approved but told me I could not reserve the car or put a deposit on it. Then an hour or so the finance guy Scott who sounded like he was on speed or something (all over the place) told me someone else was looking at the car and going to buy it unless I wired the money for the down right away. I told him i wanted to see the contract and he said he would send it then did not.

      30 min later I got a call back asking if I wired and that I would lose the car. He then told me that he would text me the wire info and details on payment. I told him the payment that my sales rep discussed, and he said that was not the payment that it was higher. He then told me with all for the thousands of dollars of warranty, gap insurance, and more it would be higher. I explained to him as I had already to him and my sales rep I did not want any of that and then he said it looks like the other person is here and going to buy the car. Clearly trying to force me into all the junk fee items. Highly unethical and illegal. They still have not sent me my credit information or my loan contract from pulling my credit.

      TO ALL CarGurus Potential Out-Of-State Customers: Get A Pre-Checklist & Warranty before you purchase! I purchased my dream work car (2014 Toyota Prius-c) through CarGurus from the Fard Auto Group in Houston, Texas. It took over 2 weeks for delivery; Within 48 hours my vehicle had major 'Hybrid System' Failure (which meant the Hybrid Battery needed to be replaced).

      I immediately contacted Fard Auto Group, who responded back within minutes and pretty much knew what the problem was. They agreed to replace the hybrid battery (Thank you Fard Auto Group!), only if I paid for transportation costs back to Houston ($1000.00). It took another 2 weeks to replace the battery; then an additional 2 weeks to get the car back to Birmingham, Alabama. Over 6 1/2 weeks before I was able to drive my work car to and from my job.

      Had a Full Diagnostic Assessment and Pre-Checklist been provided by the Seller to the Buyer, this entire ordeal could have been avoided. In hindsight, I could have went to a local Car dealer (Carvana, Car Max, or other local dealer) and put down $4500 on a vehicle that I could have inspected and found to be in good condition compared to what happened with an Out-Of-State purchase. Take note of this lesson and think through before you purchase from outside of your state. CarGurus DOES NOT guarantee ANYTHING, but their 'Competitors' do and so will your local dealer, especially if you have a big down payment and not spend your hard-earned money on transport costs that should have been COMPLETELY AVOIDED!

      We recently searched on CarGurus for a used quality vehicle and found a 2010 Honda Civic EX that looked like it suited our interest. The car was located in Orange, California so we went there, test drove it, loved it, and purchased it. On the way home, however, we realized that it didn't have a few items that are standard on an EX model: the moon roof, alloy wheels, cruise control, and an upgraded stereo system. Once home, we called the dealership, Auto Connections, and were informed that because it went through a third party, CarGurus, that they had no control over the content of the ad. This car is actually a VP model not an EX model which was falsely advertised on the CarGurus site. Buyers need to be aware that any car ad on the CarGurus site may not be 100% accurate and to double check with the dealer before making a purchase.

      CarGurus gave me the highest amount when I sold my vehicle through them. The online experience was easy and they were good. However, the dealership that they matched me with was not. They made me an offer and we agreed on the price. That was before Thanksgiving and I still haven't been paid. They said they were waiting to receive the title from the bank. It has been sent and the account's been paid off. They're basically just holding my money now.

      CarGurus offered our dealership a Sell My Car free trial and explicitly told us we could cancel before the paid plan started. We did not use the product, as customer price expectations were higher than auction values and not viable. Before the trial ended, we submitted a cancellation request. CarGurus ignored the request.

      The representative who made the cancellation assurances — someone we had worked with for over two years — suddenly disappeared. After nearly two months of arguing with support and managers, we were told the agent had personal family issues and could not communicate. Despite canceling before billing and not using the service, CarGurus charged us anyway. This was not a misunderstanding — it was a failure of cancellation handling and billing accountability. Dealers should be very cautious with “free trials” that are difficult to cancel.

      As a car enthusiast, I often help friends and family find vehicles, and CarGurus has been my go-to resource for years. I appreciate its ability to filter cars down to specific details like interior color and packages, which is essential for those of us who are picky about features like M-sport bumpers or manual transmissions.

      CarGurus stands out by providing access to reliable dealerships and offering free Carfax reports, which help in verifying the car's history. This transparency is crucial in avoiding the pitfalls of smaller dealerships that often have hidden fees or sell rebuilt titles. The platform allows me to compare prices nationwide, enabling informed decisions and better negotiation power at dealerships.

      Recently, I used CarGurus' selling feature when I needed to sell a vehicle. The process was straightforward; I entered the car's specifications, and a dealer promptly contacted me. This convenience, coupled with the app's user-friendly interface, makes it my preferred choice for both buying and selling vehicles.

      Overall, CarGurus offers a seamless experience with its filtering options and nationwide search capability, making it an invaluable tool for anyone looking to purchase or sell a car.

      I love doing business with CarGurus. It's easier and faster, and goes very smoothly. I got three buyers and I picked the best. I received less than the price I asked because the buyers always find something on the car, but I think the offer I got was fair. I’d very highly recommend CarGurus because when I put my car for sale, I find a good buyer.

      CarGurus is definitely my favorite and the best platform to find cars. The website and app are very easy to navigate. I found a car and asked if it was still available. They began to contact me, and it worked out well. It was in North Atlanta. I did the deal before I got there and finalized everything.

      Exceptional experience at Corvette Warehouse from start to finish. From my very first call, I felt genuine trust, integrity, and care from the entire team. A special thank you to Michael **, Finance Manager, a God sent man who truly went above and beyond despite his demanding schedule. His professionalism, transparency, and patience made the entire process seamless and completely stress-free.

      Thank you as well to Charles and to Mr. ** for leading such an outstanding organization. This was far more than just a transaction—it was a meaningful and positive experience. Corvette Warehouse has earned a loyal customer. My advice to anyone reading this: don’t waste your time elsewhere—this is the place to go. Highly recommended!

      I use Cargurus to find vehicles that may not be available in my area. I have bought them in the past with no issues. Now there is so many shady dealers you go to look or buy and all the sudden that car you wanted doesn't exist. Bait and switch is what it's called and they are using cargurus to do it. Even big time Ford dealers.

      I’m extremely disappointed with CarGurus. Their service, pricing, and overall communication have been nothing but a headache. They present themselves as a trusted platform, but in reality, they operate like dishonest scammers. Most of the “leads” they send are complete garbage — low-quality, unresponsive, or obviously fake. It’s clear they generate these leads just to boost their own statistics and justify their inflated prices. We pay premium rates for absolutely nothing in return.

      Communication is slow, unhelpful, and borderline disrespectful. Every attempt to resolve issues turns into a runaround with no accountability. It honestly feels like they care only about charging dealers, not providing real value. CarGurus has become a dishonest, overpriced platform that exploits dealerships and delivers fake activity instead of real customers. I would not recommend them to anyone. Total waste of money.

      CarGurus bought my car, which is easier than trading my car in. Their people were excellent and I recommend them. However, I wish the price was a little higher because of the low mileage. The offer was higher a month prior.
