GBwhen I first bought a car from… when I first bought a car from Carsdirect in 2010 it was a wonderful experience. No hugging , no negotiating no up-selling etc. I was given the address of a dealer to go (after paying $500 deposit) and simply picked up my car. Fast forward 10 years: the site was probably bought by some "car dealer group" which connects you with local dealers followed by endless emails, text and phone calls-another words: back to the old, dreaded ways of car buying process. Don't give them your contacts-just use the site to check the options, colors, specs, invoice pricing, etc of your dream car.

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.

GBThis company are one of the biggest… This company are one of the biggest spammers in the UK.They send you texts which you cannot opt out of. They use foreign dialling numbers so you cannot complain about their spamming.I did not ask to receive texts from these spammers so I am very annoyed at their behaviour and their bad business model.

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!

GBWant to lower your credit score? When you apply on cars direct they send your information out to dealers and allow them to run as many hard credit inquiries as they wish. Lowering your credit score. It happened to me. Peak kia in littleton, with the permission of cars direct did 3 hard credit inquiries on my credit report and lowered my credit score by around 30 points. And when I call them to complain they say they aren't responsible even though they are the ones giving your info away.
