Autoweb.com
An all-encompassing corporation site, autoweb.com allows for you to research autoweb.com
stock while you look for a new or used car. A spotlight vehicle and a search for a car by
make and location are some of the characteristics of this site. A publicly owned company,
investors will find all their necessary information here such as FAQs and financial press
releases. Jobs with autoweb.com and other corporate information are also available
options.
Site Highlight: Atlanta residents are the lucky hosts of autoweb.com's pilot program for
scheduling car service appointments online (other areas are coming soon). Confirmed
appointments and reminders 24 hours prior to the appointment are given via e-mail and
there is an opportunity for users to comment on the service received.
Carpoint.com
If you want general information and articles about buying or leasing a car, this is the
site for you. This is the best place to go first when deliberating which car to buy or if
you are a first time buyer. There is a make/model search available, but the news, tips and
information stand out as some of the most informative and all inclusive in the auto web
site industry.
Site Highlight: The Personal Auto Page. This is a free and private way to post an online
notice about your car for sale. The characteristics of your car are listed on the page and
interested buyers can contact you via e-mail.
Cars.com
For anyone who is sure of what car they want but are not sure of how they are going to pay
for it, this is the place to go. There are new and used vehicles, reviews, and a consumer
search that allows for you to name your price. You can even refine the search by
keyword-choose a color or audio system that you are looking for.
Site Highlight: The interactive car. You can take a tour of a car's insides such as the
braking, engine, exhaust, heating and steering systems. Diagrams of the systems simulate
movement (i.e. the brakes "brake") and show each part of the systems.
