CarGurus: Used & New Cars is a shopping app made by CarGurus, Inc. It helps people find used and new cars from dealers and private sellers. I first saw it on Google Play and the App Store, and it has been around for years. The app has millions of installs, so it is clearly popular. You can download it for free, and you do not need to register just to browse cars. If you want to save searches or contact sellers, then making an account helps. There are ads inside the app, and some features may lead to in-app purchases, but the basic search is free.

Using the app is simple. You enter your zip code, set a radius, and pick the make, model, price, and mileage you want. The app shows listings near you, and each listing includes photos, dealer info, and a deal rating. A good tip is to check the price history and the days on market. If a car has been listed for a long time, you may have more room to negotiate. Also, save your favorite cars so you can compare them later. Before you contact a seller, read the dealer reviews and check the vehicle history report if it is available. That saves time and helps you avoid surprises.

I have tried Autotrader, Cars.com, and Carvana, and I still come back to CarGurus. The main reason is the deal rating. It quickly tells me if a price is high, fair, or good compared with similar cars nearby. Autotrader has a huge inventory too, but I find CarGurus easier to scan. Cars.com is fine, yet the layout feels busier to me. Carvana is better if you want to buy fully online, but I like seeing local listings and dealer options. CarGurus feels like a practical tool for normal car shopping, not just browsing. That is why I keep it on my phone.

Features

  • 🚗 Deal rating: CarGurus labels each listing as great, good, fair, or high price, which makes it faster to judge a car than just comparing prices on Autotrader.
  • 📉 Price history: You can see if the seller has dropped the price, and that is more useful than a static listing on Cars.com.
  • 📍 Local search: It shows nearby dealer and private listings with distance, which feels more direct than browsing Carvana for nationwide inventory.
  • 💬 Dealer reviews: You can read customer feedback before contacting a seller, which adds trust that some basic listing apps do not offer.

Pros

  • 👍 The deal rating is the standout strength. It beats Autotrader for quick price checks.
  • 👍 The app is easy to filter and sort, and it feels cleaner than Cars.com in daily use.
  • 👍 Free browsing without sign-up makes it less annoying than Carvana if you are just looking.
  • 👍 Local listings and dealer reviews help you decide faster.

Cons

  • 👎 Some listings are stale, and I have seen more outdated cars here than on Autotrader.
  • 👎 Ads can get in the way, especially compared with Carvana's cleaner buying flow.
  • 👎 The app pushes dealer leads, so private sellers are less common than on Facebook Marketplace.
  • 👎 It is weaker for online purchase and delivery than Carvana.
