Recent studies show that the average person spends more than 16 hours online and visits 18 different websites while shopping for a used car, but iSeeCars.com is changing that.
The top three things car buyers do online are find cars for sale, research pricing and compare vehicles. Do you want to be stuck doing Internet research for 16+ hours (two full work days) – or do you have better things to do?
If you’re interested in saving time and money, iSeeCars.com has already helped car buyers save more than $115 million. The award-winning website aggregates daily data from millions of used car listings in one place. You can see almost all of the used cars for sale in the US, along with free unbiased analysis, scores and rankings.
ABC News calls iSeeCars.com the “Kayak.com” for used cars. Regularly featured in major media such as Consumer Reports, Fortune, CNBC, Forbes, the Wall Street Journal and USA TODAY, this Boston-based startup is making it easier and much less time consuming for consumers to find the best deal on cars.
While most sites display car listings based on how much they’re paid for advertising, iSeeCars.com’s free website always displays the best deals first. It uses big data analytics and proprietary algorithms to determine:
- Whether a car is underpriced or overpriced?
- How trustworthy a dealer is?
- How long a vehicle has been on the market?
- And other important automobile stats, such as car condition, number of owners, accident history and much more.
Do you realize how much effort it takes to find a great used car? Phong Ly does.
He got frustrated with having to search through so many different dealer and third-party sites to make sure he didn’t miss out on the car he was looking for. For every car he found, he then needed to evaluate if it was in good running condition, if the price was reasonable and if the dealer was trustworthy.
iSeeCars.com is the result of co-founder and CEO Phong Ly’s personal experience with car shopping. The company’s other founder and CTO Vineet Manohar previously led big data projects for TripAdvisor, using his data analysis and tech development expertise.
Together Ly and Manohar built a beta version of iSeeCars and continually improved the site for 16 months before it was officially released.
So, how does iSeeCars.com make car shopping smarter and easier?
- Saves you time and effort by having everything you need in one place.
- Saves you money by providing objective rankings for each car and dealer.
- Brings transparency to the car-buying process with free analyses, stats, insights and VIN Reports.
Every year consumers buy 40 million used cars compared to just 15 million new cars. Although you can learn a lot about new cars online, it’s pretty hard to find reliable information about used cars.
Most people don’t realize that 1 out of 4 used cars are overpriced by $1,000. And with iSeeCars.com’s objective car data, you can avoid overpaying and trust that you’re getting the best deal. Fortunately, a lot of smart buyers have figured out how to save time and money by using iSeeCar.com’s free search engine to find a great car at a great price.
