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.

GBThis service is a joke! I spent a lot of time on carsdirect.com selecting cars and options I wanted. I got really great target prices. However, I received so many calls and emails from dealers asking what I wanted and giving me prices way above what carsdirect.com listed. I called carsdirect.com to complain and ask if they sent these companies the information I gave them. I was told that it was just a referral service and a price to try to negotiate for the cars. They did not give the dealers all the information I had given them. It was just a waste of my time! I could have just called the dealer and requested the internet sales and gotten more information and not wasted all that time.

GBExpect Unending Email Spam from Third Parties CarsDirect.com either sold or gave my name and email address to many spamming companies that have nothing to do with cars. In less than a week, I have received twenty-one emails from: Terminix, Dish Network, Andersen Replacement Windows, home warranty coverage provider, face mask seller, credit score company, roofing company, Sam's Club, Harry's Razors, Fidelity Life Insurance, ADT provider, Quicken Loans, and Mortgage News. I know that CarsDirect is responsible because I gave exclusively to them a shortened version of my name. All the spamming companies listed above used that abbreviated name in their emails to me.

GBCOMPLETE Full Service at its BEST! CarsDirect thank you so for the complete full service when we purchased the 2013 Fiat 500 POP for our Broker's Open House in June. We gave away this new vehicle for the Grand Prize drawing. Your and my Internet Sales person coordinated all of the paperwork with the Dealership accurately and efficiently. Orange Coast Fiat even delivered the vehicle to our building for the Open House. What an easy and seamless transaction! One that I have told all of our business associates and friends about. Many thanks again!

GBEveryday I get a message from them and… Everyday I get a message from them and there's no way for me to opt out. Thankfully I didn't give them a lot of information. If this is how they do business I would look for another company
