Finding the Right Car in a Busy World

Sponsored Post.

I barely have time to grocery shop each week, so what makes me think I have time to shop for a car? Honestly, we have been putting off looking for a car for my daughter to take to college, and part of that is because we are just so overwhelmed with things these days. Taking time to look for a car is not something I have time for, but I've discovered at tool that can help me save time -- and hopefully, money, too!




Cars.com is a website I've become very familiar with in the search for a car for my daughter. While she is headed to college in a few weeks and will be taking my car, I am being diligent in my search for the right car for her in the near future. The information I'm discovering at Cars.com is vital to making the best decision for a car that we can afford, but that is also a safe and reliable vehicle for my daughter. We want the best for our kids, right?

The site features a very easy-to-use interface that I've enjoyed using to browse used cars that I think my daughter would like. I can sort by model, make, year, price, and distance from my location. I love that I can see cars from a variety of sources, including dealers near me!

There is also quite the video selection -- perfect for learning about tips and trends in the market today.



One of the best parts of the site, however, has been the ability to read car reviews from real owners. I actually came to choose the car I wanted for our daughter based on how good the safety ratings and handling reviews were from previous owners. I could see right away that the car we wanted for our daughter was a good all-around pick for her to drive throughout her college years, and beyond!



If we ever run into an issue with any of our cars, Cars.com also has a rather comprehensive service and repair section. I can see basic maintenance guides, quotes for common repairs for my particular vehicle, as well as service centers near me that can work on my car.

But my favorite feature is the recall and notice center. I can simply plug in my car's details, and I can see all of the service bulletins for my car. Since we often buy used, this is very important. I don't always know if previous owners were diligent in getting these repairs handled, but I have a running list of everything my dealer will handle right in one place! It's definitely a peace of mind that I can't afford to not have with my busy schedule!



If you haven't checked Cars.com lately, it's time you did! Any car owner, driver, or enthusiast will find something of use there. It's a very well-thought-out site that can benefit you in a number of ways!
