Question type: Shopping & Pricing

Why is 90% of the cars listed located hundreds of miles away when there are
plenty of local deals not listed? Are you just trying to get people to buy from
selected "good buddies"? The search really sucks and waste my time.

I think Cargurus is just a front for a group of dealers trying to shut out the local sellers.

Cargurus is an advertising site similar to Craigslist and carsforsale.com. If a Dealer chooses to not advertise on Cargurus their inventory will not show up on your search on this site. You can change your search area to a smaller radius or visit a local Dealer's website directly to look at their inventory. Hope that helps! Jim

CG's is just a place for ads. If there are no local cars for sale do you want them to fabricate some for you?
