By You’ve heard the adage that it’s the little things that count. While this is true in life, it’s also true on our site. Here are some little things you can do to improve your car shopping experience on Car Gurus:
Did you know that when you search for cars, you can narrow down your results by clicking the “Find Cars” button instead of hitting “Enter”? This allows you to see a full list of filters and refine your search.
If you’re a fan of one particular make or model of car and want quick access to new listings for these cars, add them to your Saved Searches. Or, if you’d like to receive email alerts when new cars matching your criteria are listed, set up an alert.
If you see a car you like, but aren’t quite ready to pull the trigger on buying it, save it to your garage with one click! You’ll be able to compare its specs side by side with other cars in your garage and easily find the listing again later.

What Makes Car Gurus Different From Other Auto Sites?
Car Gurus conducted a survey of 2,600 consumers and found that the No. 1 reason people buy from a dealer is because they like the vehicle — and the second-most important factor is because they like the dealer.
Car Gurus is different from other online car sites because it narrows down the selection of vehicles based on actual market value rather than MSRP (Manufacturer’s Suggested Retail Price). This provides a more accurate sense of what people are paying for cars in your area. The site also has expert reviews and ratings to help buyers make informed decisions.
