Expect 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.

Want 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.

The 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.

Stay away from this company Not an actual loan company. They are just a broker. Got several local car dealers constantly calling which I absolutely did not want. No communication !!! Skip this place. Not transparent in any way.

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.
