CarGurus is an online automotive research and shopping website that assists users in comparing local listings for used and new cars and contacting sellers.[1]
CarGurus uses mathematical algorithms to analyze and compare prices and features on cars for sale.[2] Users can search for specific cars in their local area and determine how listings stack up against each other with regard to price, features and dealership reputation.[3] CarGurus also offers a discussion platform for car enthusiasts and automotive experts, who submit questions, offer insight, gather and share information and provide reviews.
