Start searchingHow it works
From first search to confident decision
Most car sites stop at search results. CheapCars takes you all the way from “I need a car” to “we're buying this one” — with your people involved the whole way.

Search smarter
Describe what you need in plain English — “reliable SUV under $15K near Chicago” or “good first car for a teenager.” No dropdowns, no filters. Our AI finds real listings from local dealers, scored so you know what’s actually a good price.

Deal scores, market data, your crew’s input, and AI you can keep asking questions — all in one place. No more spreadsheets, group chats, or bookmark folders.
Chrome Extension
Stop losing track of listings
Dealer inventory shows up automatically when you search. The Chrome extension handles everything else — clip listings from any supported site with one click and they land in your garage, ready to compare alongside dealer results.
No more bookmarks, screenshots, or spreadsheets.
Better together
Car shopping is a team sport
Whether it's your partner, your parents, or that friend who knows every engine ever made — bring them in. Everyone sees the same list, and everyone gets a say.
One list, everyone’s finds
Create a list, invite your crew. Everyone can add vehicles and see the full picture.
Thumbs up, thumbs down
Quick votes on every vehicle. See where your group agrees — and where they don’t.
Talk it through
Threaded comments on any vehicle. @mention someone to pull them into the conversation.
Let the math decide
Can’t agree? Run a ranked-choice poll. Everyone ranks their picks, and the fairest option wins.
Side by side
Compare any vehicles on price, mileage, deal score, and more. Best values highlighted.
Your eyes only
Keep private notes on any vehicle. Your co-shoppers won’t see them.
No surprises
Know what you're looking at
Every listing gets a deal score — a straightforward rating based on asking price vs. market average, factoring in mileage and time on lot. You see the same prices dealers post. No markups, no lead-gen forms, no bait and switch.
CheapCars is free to use. No account required to search — sign in to save vehicles, create lists, and collaborate.

Tips
- ➤Be specific. “4WD truck under $20K with under 80K miles” works better than “show me trucks.”
- ➤Keep asking.Once you have results, dig deeper — insurance estimates, reliability, how two cars stack up side by side.
- ➤Clip your P2P finds. Dealer results are automatic. The extension is most valuable for Craigslist and Facebook Marketplace listings you don't want to lose.
- ➤Watch the deal scores. Green means priced below market — the fastest way to spot a good deal without doing your own research.
- ➤Share early.Add your co-shopper to a list before you've narrowed down — more eyes means more finds.
- ➤Use polls for big decisions. If you're down to 3–4 finalists, a ranked-choice poll is faster than a group text debate.
