Carsala, an online deal-maker for used car buyers, allows prospective drivers to shop around without being followed by eager, shifty salesmen. Users supply the car year, make and model, as well as any vital preferences, such as mileage, color, trim options and even engine type. Then, using your zip code as a guide, Carsala lists the potential price it can negotiate – usually between 20 and 25% below Kelley Blue Book values. Once a user gives Carsala the go-ahead, site representatives find autos and negotiate prices, allowing shoppers to save time and money while mitigating traditional risk factors; users even the odds of buying a lemon online by test-driving before purchase. Sign-up is free.
