  • Essay / Student Reaction to Used Car Websites - 1521

    Student Reaction to Used Car Websites Getting a used car instead of a new car is becoming today a trend in America. People don't want to spend money on new cars because the value of cars drops significantly. That's exactly what my friend thought when he bought his used Acura CL 2.3 Coupe 2D for $13,500 last year from a local dealership. Now the question is whether the price he paid really makes sense given the car's current options and conditions. Unfortunately, my friend didn't even do any research before purchasing this car. So, he bought this car at a relatively higher price than the price he actually could have had. Based on some used car sales websites like kbb.com or edmunds.com which we will talk about later, he can actually buy this car for 12,585 (kbb.com) or 12,233 (edmunds.com ). Inspired by my friend's experience, I did some research on websites that can help you negotiate a used car like a pro. I suggest these two websites that I mentioned earlier: kbb.com and edmunds.com. Both of these websites have their pros and cons. Later in the discussion, I will introduce all the features of each website and compare the two websites. The question of which websites are best again depends on the needs of the user. The first website that will be evaluated is kbb.com. This website, created by Mike Kelley in 1981, is an online version of the standard Kelly Blue Book guidelines for all used cars. The reason why many people trust this website dates back to 1918 when Les Kelly, the pioneer of this service, created the Kelly Blue Book. The background to the existence of the Kelly Blue Book will not be discussed too much as it is beyond the scope of this article. However, this online version makes it much easier for people to browse the Internet and find out the appropriate price that they can negotiate from local dealers or private owners. How is that? This question can be simply answered by the usability of the website itself. The chart is simple and the features are well organized so that it is easy for users to move from one feature to another..
