NADAguides.com Outlines Benefits of Online Comparisons - Offers Time and Money Saving Tips

COSTA MESA, Calif., Nov. 29 -- Let's face it. Shopping for a new or used car can be confusing these days. From incentives and rebates to employee pricing programs to the sheer volume of new and used makes and models available on the market, buying a car is anything but easy.

The experts at NADAguides.com, a leading vehicle information website, have taken the guesswork out of shopping for a new or used car with the recent launch of the company's online side-by-side comparison tool. Below, the company has outlined exactly how side-by-side car comparisons work and why this type of research saves car buyers time and money in the process.

How Online Comparisons Work

Through a series of easy-to-use steps at www.NADAguides.com, shoppers can select the vehicles they'd like to compare and are instantly provided with a detailed, side-by-side chart that includes pricing information as well as powertrain data, vehicle dimensions, chassis data, wheel and tire information and much more. With this service, shoppers can compare new against new, new against used, or used against used for makes and models dating back to 1998. Two great features of the service include the ability to compare city fuel economy versus highway economy for each car as well as the ability to compare performance details such as horsepower and torque.

Compare New Makes and Models

Let's say you were interested in buying a 2006 Honda Accord but heard there were plenty of incentives on comparable makes and models including the '06 Nissan Altima, the '06 Mitsubishi Galant or the '06 Toyota Camry. The service at NADAguides.com allows you to compare all four makes and models at the same time to see how they stack up against each other.

Compare New Versus Used

Or let's say you were interested in buying a 2006 Honda Accord but heard there were plenty of affordable '05, '04 and '03 models with cash-back incentives and manufacturer warranties. Again, the service at NADAguides.com allows you to compare different model years to determine exactly which car is right for you.

"Online comparisons are a convenient, essential way to do your car shopping homework," said Mark Perleberg, lead auto expert, NADAguides.com. "Whether you're buying new or used, this tool allows you to compare important pricing and specification information to help you make the most educated purchasing decision possible."

Why Online Comparisons Work

First, online comparison tools save time. Instead of driving from dealership to dealership to do your own personal comparisons, technology does the evaluating for you -- from the convenience of your home or office.

Second, the comparisons are extensive. Everything you could possibly want to know about the vehicle you're researching is provided. From vehicle weight to leg and headroom to price to towing capacity, the charts are detailed (complete with full color pictures) to help you make the best purchasing decision possible.

Finally, online comparison tools save you money -- bottom line. You can save a considerable amount of money by researching exactly how much a vehicle costs and how it compares -- from a pricing and specification standpoint -- to competitive vehicles or older models.

"The more you know, the savvier the shopper you are," said Perleberg. "Side-by-side online comparisons give you a real birds eye view when it comes to picking the right car -- from a price perspective and from a specification perspective."

Consumers can find the NADAguides.com Side-by-Side Comparison Tool by logging onto www.NADAguides.com and by clicking on the "Compare Vehicles" link in the "Browse Vehicles" section of the website's home page.
