when 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.

Bogus 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.

Useless 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

Excellent Company to go to When Car Shopping If you are looking for a car and aren't sure about where to start, CarsDirect.com is where you should go. They provide information on local prices, financing, insurance, deals and detailed reviews of the cars themselves so that you can get an idea of what is really best. They will get you a free quote from multiple dealers so that you can walk into a dealership informed and that alone can help save you hundreds if not thousands of dollars from a negotiating standpoint. Excellent company. Highly recommended.

Unauthorized 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.
