May 10, 2010

While CarsDirect is well known as a destination for comparing new cars, it can also be used just as easily to compare used cars. Try it out.

If you are in need of a new vehicle, you can compare used cars at CarsDirect. You can gauge the features available and the prices that you may expect to pay on your next vehicle.

Define Your Ideal Vehicle
Before you can compare used cars side by side, you need to know what you are looking for. It may be a good idea to figure out a make of car you like based on the company's history. From there, you can pick out different models and years until you see something you like. You may also think about different kinds of cars, like sedans, coupes or convertibles. You will at least need two cars to consider for direct comparison.

Start the Comparison
As long as you have the year, make, model and style for each vehicle, CarsDirect can pull up the information for you. The site search is quite easy to navigate around. You simply use the drop down arrows to select those features for each of the vehicles you want to compare. Once you're done, click the "Compare Vehicles" button and wait for the results to show.

Compare the Cars
you can compare specs from each of the vehicles. Look over the powertrain, safety, suspension, comfort, interior, exterior, performance and much more. You can even compare used car reviews side by side, to see what others have to say about a certain vehicle. By looking over all of these features, you can easily weigh the pros and cons of each vehicle and make an informed decision on which one will work for you.

Make Adjustments
If you want to change some information on one of the cars you were comparing or if you want to add more cars to the list, simply click on the "+ Add another vehicle" option on the left hand side. This will bring you back to the original search page and allow you to redo anything you may not like. Then you just hit the button again and look over the features on the new list.

Search for Your New Car
If you really like one of the models you compare, you can click on the "Search Used" button and it will take you to a place to look for that car in particular. If you find the right one form there, the purchase is all yours.
