• What we do

  At CarGurus, we’re building the world’s most trusted and transparent automotive marketplace. We make it easy to find great deals from top-rated dealers and provide the guidance consumers need to make a more informed purchase. We also help dealers quickly and easily market their vehicles and connect with ready-to-buy shoppers.

• How we do it

  Using proprietary technology, search algorithms and innovative data analytics, CarGurus provides unbiased insights into car pricing, dealer reputation and vehicle history.

  For used vehicles, we calculate a fair retail price based on a detailed analysis of comparable current and previous car listings in a given market. We call this estimate the CarGurus Instant Market Value (IMV). Updated daily, CarGurus IMV takes into account millions of data points including make, model, variant, year, mileage, options, location and vehicle history.

  To determine our deal ratings, we compare the asking price of a vehicle to the CarGurus IMV, and factor in dealer reputation. From this calculation, we rate the quality of the deal: Great, good, fair, high or overpriced. We always sort organic search results with the best deals on top (based on our algorithm, not how much a dealer pays us).
