Take the wheel: Apps to buy or lease a car

Dependable transportation is a must in today’s fast-paced world – and when you’re looking to buy or lease a car, you need tools that are just as reliable. That’s why we selected these roadworthy apps to speed the process along.

Search an inventory of 28,000+ auto dealers to find well-maintained minivans, SUVs, trucks, or sedans for sale near you. Search with specific criteria (like single-owner vehicles) to find the best car at the ideal price. To find out more about the car’s maintenance and accident history, get Vehicle History Reports that help you avoid winding up in a ride with hidden issues.

Buy and sell cars, chat about all things automotive on an active forum, and locate hard-to-find vehicle parts and accessories. Store your vehicle’s specs to streamline the selling process. When you’re looking to buy, browse categories from trucks to motorcycles. And don't worry about getting taken for a ride – eBay's Vehicle Purchase Protection Program will keep you from buying a lemon.

Browse cars by price, or search for specific styles, models, or features. When you find the vehicle you’re looking for, contact the dealer directly to ask questions and check availability. Once the sale is a go, pre-qualify for an auto loan in minutes, see your exact interest rate and monthly payment, and find a financing plan that fits your budget.

Browse the vehicle stock of 13,000+ certified car dealers across the U.S. or scan a window sticker at a car lot for instant pricing information. Search new or used makes and models for the colors, options, and manufacturer incentives you want. Then compare prices, see what others paid in your area, and find a great deal.

Search for local vehicle listings, check seller profiles and ratings, and communicate via secure messaging to ask questions. You can also post photos of your car or other items to the marketplace. Buyers and sellers meet one on one (you can suggest a spot outside a police station or other public space for extra safety), so you can inspect the car in person before you close the deal.

Whether you're looking for a car with a sunroof or hoping to sell yours, Carvana simplifies the process of buying and selling used cars. Check out videos, photos, and history of the car to make an informed decision. Choose between sedans, trucks, SUVs, and more to find the car that suits your budget. Have it delivered to your home or pick up from one of the curbside locations.
