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.

GBAvoid at all cost All they will do is take all of your financial information (including SS number) and then sell your info to car dealers. The car dealers will want massive down payments and offer 30-40 % interest loansharking. Avoid like the plague.

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.

GBUnauthorized credit checks Unauthorized credit checks. Do not use this company please. There are so many other TRUSTING, RELIABLE, UP FRONT, and HONEST lending and comparison sites out there. Cars Direct will use your information, ruin your credit score, and throw it back in your face. Do not trust this company or recommend them to anyone please. Spread the word or you might be the next victim in a long line of unwanted, unauthorized, and unnecessary hard hits to credit reports. If there was a way to submit review with zero or fewer star ratings this would be one of them. Avoid at all costs.

GBBogus Bogus claims. It's the same thing as walking straightforward into a car dealership. Nothing special. If you don't have what they're looking for you won't get what you're looking for just like a car dealership. All they do is shop your application around for a loan....LIKE A REGULAR DEALERSHIP.
