Download Cars.com: Buy and sell cars

Cars.com is a marketplace for researching, shopping for, and selling vehicles. You can browse new and used cars, compare listings, view photos and vehicle details, and search using criteria such as price, make, model, mileage, and location. The app also offers research tools, including vehicle reviews and pricing information. Available features and listing details can vary by vehicle and region, so check the information on each listing before making a decision.

Cars.com primarily helps shoppers find vehicles and connect with sellers; a listing does not necessarily mean you can complete the entire purchase in the app. Depending on the vehicle and seller, you may be able to contact a dealership or private seller, arrange a visit, or explore online buying options. Confirm the seller’s process, vehicle availability, fees, and financing terms directly before committing. Never assume a listing guarantees a particular price or purchase experience.

Review the listing carefully, including its photos, description, price, mileage, vehicle history information, and seller details. Some listings may include vehicle history reports or pricing tools, but their availability and coverage can differ, and they should not replace an independent inspection. Contact the seller to confirm that the car is still available and that the information is accurate. Be cautious of unusual payment requests, pressure to act quickly, or offers that seem implausibly inexpensive.

Cars.com can help you explore options for selling a vehicle, which may include creating a listing for potential buyers or checking offers from participating dealers, depending on the features available in your area. You may need to provide details such as the car’s year, make, model, mileage, condition, and photos. Review any listing rules, eligibility requirements, fees, and offer terms before proceeding, and be prepared to communicate with prospective buyers or dealerships.

You can generally download Cars.com without paying, but specific services, promotions, or transaction-related costs may have separate terms, so check the app store listing and the relevant offer details. The app may request information such as your location to show nearby vehicles, and using search, account, or contact features may involve sharing additional data. Review the current privacy policy and permission prompts, and provide only the information needed for the features you choose to use.
