Work with a CarGenius specialist who understands your needs and guides you to a confident purchase.

Why We Charge

Most car sites make money from dealers—they get paid to show you listings and referrals. That creates a conflict: are they helping you or helping dealers sell to you? We chose a different model. Our revenue comes from you, so our only incentive is helping you make the best decision. No paid rankings, no sponsored placements, no conflicts of interest.
