Misleading Ads on Car Guru

Asked by GuruN9SJR Oct 08, 2019 at 11:07 AM

Question type: Shopping & Pricing

Why does CarGuru place “Generic” photos
of vehicles on their site?  Buyers are lured to
contact dealers/sellers regarding vehicles
that don’t exist. This wastes our time and is
misleading advertising. It should not be done.

1 Answer

CG's does not make the ads since they don't sell cars. Most of the time the photos are labeled as a "stock photo". I can tell a generic photo from real 98% of the time just by looking.
