Websites used for car shopping in the U.S. 2017-2021, by category

Published by Daniela Coppola, Nov 9, 2024
An annual survey of recent car buyers in the United States found that, between 2017 and 2021, third party websites such as CarGurus and Autotrader were consistently the most used category of websites for researching and purchasing cars. Car dealerships' websites were also popular, though their usage saw a decline in 2020 which was not observed for third party websites.
