GBNot given what I was promised and then ignored. I put a request into Carsdirect for a purchase of a new BMW 535. After some back and forth I was quoted a price and went for a test drive. When it came time for delivery of the car, I learned that my "new" BMW had almost 5000 miles on it. I also allowed Carsdirect to handle the financing which now has a loan amount of $500 over what it should be (the initial deposit wasn't figured in) I was told it would be corrected prior to me receiving my bill and I would get new documents to sign. I probably wouldn't be writing this review if someone had contacted me back after I told them what happened, but I am left to fend for myself between the credit card company that the deposit was on and the financing company. If it doesnt work out I will sue on principal. Thankfully, NJ has some great consumer fraud laws. The only reason I knew about this website was because I was going to give them a sterling review before I knew about the 5000 miles, but everything since then has been awful.

GBThe comparisons made it easy My wife and I were having trouble deciding which car was the right one for us. CarsDirect was so helpful--their comparison tool made it really easy to decipher the differences between trims and option packages. We were torn between the Acura TLX and a Honda Accord--similar cars. After putting everything into the tool, it was easy to see that the TLX offered little extra value for the additional $5K. This plus the Accord had special financing-that sealed our choice.

GBUnauthorized Credit Inquiries I have not looked for an automobile loan in over 5 years. As of the 17th of September I have NUMEROUS inquires on my credit report. I am disgusted beyond belief and will be looking into legal representation. Horrendous and fraudulent practices indeed!

GBNot worth your time, go to the car brands website instead. CarsDirect.com is nothing more than a dealer referral service. You can build and get MSRP price on a car, no different than going to the car brands website, then it will refer you to one of their "trusted" (read who pays them for the local referral) dealers. I was looking for info on a 2020 Ford Super Duty truck, CarsDirect was advertised as being able to give you the dealer invoice cost, which it could not per their live chat person. The CarsDirect vehicle build tool also was flawed, it would not correctly apply packages and add on items like you could on the Ford website.

GBUseless Useless. Worthless. Did nothing but send me emails asking if X U Y or Z dealer contacted me. Never got a call or any help but they generated a lead for their affiliate partner who called 2-3 times a day about credit repair
