Finding a Reliable Car in a Changing Industry

This is a sponsored post by our friends at Cars.com.

We again find ourselves starting to wade into the care market, as we’re likely a year away from replacing our 2008 Jeep Patriot. Buying and finding a reliable car can be a little overwhelming, but as we began to look for our next car I’ve been amazed by what’s happened with this industry!

Cars.com is an awesome resource to not only compare what’s on the market but gives you access to pricing and even rates the value. From there you can seemingly deal with the dealer as much, or in my case as little as you’d like!

For instance, have you heard of a new company Carvana? You can find Carvana Cars on Cars.com!  This website allows you to search their inventory of used cars, apply for a loan and even establish a trade in value. And from your home you can purchase your new car, trade in your vehicle and get financing. Then your new car will be delivered and your old car picked up. I hear you, sounds risky. Nope you have 7 days to “test drive.”

This is a very cool innovation but beyond Carvana the internet expands the inventory, especially if you’re looking used. Instead of going dealer to dealer trying to find the car you want, often times settling for something like what you were looking for.  Finding a Carvana car on Cars.com can help you with finding the reliable car that will last your family years.

The Car industry over the year has changed a lot.  With access to the internet, buyers go into vehicle shopping are very informed on what they want and what they should be able to get with their money.  Almost everyone has already done an online loan calculator to find out what their car payment will be for their new car.

Even if you’re not looking for a new (or new to you) car, it’s worth checking out all the new innovations in car sales the internet has provided!
