Inflated Vehicle Appraisal Reports online

This website is only about generating leads to car dealerships. The estimated Vehicle Appraisal Report shows retail values instead of real trade allowance values. They only care to show high numbers to generate traffic and sell the client information to car dealers. I submit this review with a proof of a screenshot a client sent me of his Lincoln Navigator Vehicle Appraisal Report.

Phishing site for Carmax

Edmunds is little more than a used car sales link. It doesn't offer value ranges, but directs you to what is, I'm sure, it's paid car dealerships and their low ball offers, a complete waste of time.

Just bought a second car there

Just bought a second car there, great selection, well maintained cars. Sellers were ok, but at least told everything about the car and possible future problems. So overall good service.

Very dishonest

Very dishonest. I was trying to get a used car value, and right at the end they want to know the license plate number and other information, so they can sell you stuff.

Typical misleading adverts …

They are listing used cars at below book by adding federal EV rebates to the price. In reality and if honesty was a factor most of the EV’s are listed above market price !

Sold cars listed for sale

After pursuing inquiries for several vehicles on the Edmunds website, I have come to the conclusion that Edmunds is largely a bait & switch for car dealerships. All the cars were sold, but still listed. Now I have auto dealerships calling & e-mailing about how they can “help” me with another vehicle. A huge waste of time & majorly frustrating.

Edmunds sells your contact info w/o consent

Edmunds sells your contact info to dealerships without your consent. They offered to get me quotes, requested email and phone number promising not to give my information to the dealerships. Next I got a blank screen and an unexpected error. Immediately I started getting phone calls and text messages from dealerships. I might have consented at some point, but I HAD NOT YET CONSENTED.Edmunds used to provide MSRP vs dealer invoice pricing, and savvy buyers could get up to $500-1000 below dealer invoice. Not any more. Now they just have a "what you should pay" which is lower than MSRP but significantly higher than invoice. I guess they make more money from dealer referrals than from selling ads.

intentionally damaging brands

They are intentionally damaging brands on social media by posting fake videos about how bad the cars are just to gain attention/views/followers. They can't be trusted.

Great for buying cars online and for car reviews!

Edmunds is a great place to not only buy cars but also for car reviews. In their reviews, they show the pros and cons of the vehicle, what’s new for 2020, (I forgot to mention that for car and driver) pricing and which one to buy. They have some specs of the car on the side. I just wish they had more specs like 0-60. There’s also a wildcard grading system. Edmunds also shows the trims they recommend. You can also read reviews about the car you’re researching. If you’d like, it’s also possible to write a review on your car to share with others your experience.

A Good Place To Start

As I have so stated, this is a good place to start, for it will arm you with much need information to guide you through a buy. Having a fair price in mind before you arrive at a dealership gives you a lead on getting a fair deal, not to be one of those who paid too much. However, I caution you on the integrity of many of the referred dealerships, for many will do all they can to get every penny you have and can afford to spend, using surprise (unheard of, unadvertised, hidden) fees, to even rolling back into to the price standard delivery fees and inspection fees. Anyway, Edmunds.com is extremely helpful and educating for the consumer.
