CarGurus: Used & New Cars

For comparing used and new cars

CarGurus: Used & New Cars is a shopping app for people who want to browse vehicle listings, compare prices, and narrow down options before contacting a dealer. It suits buyers who prefer to research several cars side by side rather than start with a single dealership. The app also supports people preparing to sell or trade in a vehicle.

What it brings to the search

Listings are organized around the information that matters when comparing cars: asking price, vehicle history, dealer details, and how a listing compares with similar vehicles. Deal ratings can help identify listings marked as Great, Good, Fair, or Overpriced, giving buyers a quick starting point for judging value instead of relying on the price alone.

• Browse used and new vehicle listings in one place.
• Review history details such as reported accidents, ownership information, and time on the lot when available.
• Save searches and receive alerts about new listings or price changes.
• Explore estimated financing rates and monthly payments without making a hard credit inquiry.
• Check valuation information and offers when selling a vehicle.

What to watch for

CarGurus is strongest as a comparison and research tool, not as a replacement for checking a car in person. Listing information can vary by dealer, and a favorable deal label does not remove the need to confirm the vehicle’s condition, history, fees, and availability. Financing estimates and selling offers should also be treated as starting points rather than final terms.

Reach and overall reception

With a rating of 4.8 from more than 213,000 reviews and 10,000,000+ installs, the app has broad use among car shoppers. It is published by CarGurus, Inc in the Auto & Vehicles category. Its best fit is a buyer who wants market context and a wider view of available cars before deciding which listings deserve closer attention.
