Car Gurus' Price Assessment Process

Asked by jhemmer01 Aug 26, 2012 at 11:23 AM

Question type: Shopping & Pricing

Hi Gurus, When assessing the fairness of a vehicle's price, does Car Gurus look at a vehicle to assess condition, evidence of previous accident-related repairs, title history and/or the maintenance history? I.E. If a car was in  serious accident and was being advertised on your site, is that considered in your assessment? Aren't the numbers just one piece of the puzzle when determining if you're getting a good deal? Thanks.

What is not taken into account. The condition, if the car is certified,if it has a rebuilt title etc. In other words this site does not really help you.

Condition, certified, and salvage title are all taken into account.

If a Toyota at a Toyota dealer is Certified (Which gives it a 1 yr bumper to bumper waranty and a 7 year 100,000 mile drive train warranty) cost $500 more then the same car with similar miles on it at a non Toyota dealership with a 3 month 3000 mile drive train warranty. What deal is better? The dealers are not your enemy. You also get 1.9% financing up to 5 years. That can save you even more money. Your system of hijacking dealerships inventory then labeling them as over priced is awful.
