Drive to Bring Price Transparency to Online Auto Marketplace Pays Off for Cambridge, MA-based Company

CAMBRIDGE, Mass., February 23, 2011 -- CarGurus, a leading online automotive community, today reported that it had achieved four consecutive profitable quarters in 2010 with 230% revenue growth over 2009. With more than 3 million unique visitors a month, CarGurus has grown to become one of the leading online automotive research sites on the web.

Of particular note, CarGurus’ DealFinder (www.cargurus.com) shopping service has seen a 793% year over year increase in traffic. Using proprietary pricing models, CarGurus’ DealFinder uses live market data to analyze more than 2 million car listings a day and help consumers find the best car deals in their local markets.

"2010 was a pivotal year for CarGurus. As a profitable company we now have the flexibility to accelerate the product development of our DealFinder search platform," said Langley Steinert, founder and CEO of CarGurus.
