technology find right car

Looking for a new or used car a few years ago would have meant searching through the local newspapers and visiting lots of car dealers forecourts. Things have moved on a lot since then because technology has made it much easier to find and check out a potential car. Now it doesn’t matter where you are in the country; you can find the perfect car for you.

Online Dealers

Almost all of the car dealers, both main dealers, and used cars, will have some website. On it they can display all the cars, they have available and also give all the details about price and specifications. The good thing about a website compared to a newspaper is that you can often zoom in on the picture of the cars and see them in more detail instead of looking at a black and white picture. The dealers will also often have a map of their location so that you can find them easily. However, the biggest advantage is that you can view cars from all over the country. For example, if you wanted to see a specific car in a specific location, such as a dealership for SMART Edinburgh, then you can simply look it up online. As long as you are prepared to travel, there is no boundary to your search.

Car Phone Apps

Another way how technology is helping people find their perfect car is with mobile apps. You can now find numerous apps on both Apple iTunes and on Android Play that will show you the latest deals on cars in your area. Some of the main manufacturers have their own apps that you can search with; other dealers rely on one centralized app to show customers their cars. As with the websites, many apps have links to the location of the car you are interested in, as well as details about the dealer. As with all apps, it is a good idea to read the reviews to see if it does what you want it to do before you download it.

Sat Navs and Maps

If you are the type of person that just loves to go out and look for yourself, then technology can still give you a hand. If you aren’t using an app or the dealer’s websites, then you can search for garages and car dealers on your sat nav in the car. It will usually give you a few within the immediate vicinity; then you can expand your search later. The same applies to apps such as Google Maps. You can ask it to locate all the car showrooms in your area, and it will even give you a picture of the showroom itself. It takes all the wandering around and guesswork out of buying a car.

Next time you need to find another car, consider trying these options. They will help you to find your perfect car much sooner than trawling through the newspapers, and you won’t need to leave your house.
