Cargurus is a parasite site that feeds off other paid sites so stream (RSS) then try to extort money from the dealers by bombarding them with fake leads. Dealers don't even know their ads are being stolen and abused. No "buyer" from cargurus EVER responds which is how you know for sure that they're fake because anyone interested enough to reach out, always replies with at least a "thank you". They have bots that generate auto names and usually the reply is "please send carfax" because of course they sell carfax reports. The fake names are ridiculous like Joseph Abdallah (see attached) and Mary Mohammed (Christian and Muslim together) or Tom Barahanakulanakruga.? In any case, they send a few leads then start calling for your $1000 a month because they claim to be worth it due to the great leads you're getting LOL. For buyers, find out where the car is being sold and contact them directly because Cargurus will never allow you contact with the dealer without them getting a cut. Parasites. Shop on Kijiji or in person. Even Facebook is creating fake profiles now to send fake leads to dealers. Dealers are getting ripped off by most advertisers. We don't mind paying for honest business. Whoever runs this site are complete dirtbags.

Tip for consumers:
Don't let the parasitic nature of the site owners tarnish your view of the hard working car dealers that they steal the ads and money from. Most don't know their ads are even being stolen.
