You Might Soon Be Able To Buy A Car At Your Local Walmart, If You Want
You Might Soon Be Able To Buy A Car At Your Local Walmart, If You Want-December 2024
2024-02-19 EST 22:09:50

Walmart is expanding their partnership with CarSaver to start selling cars at more locations on April 1st. Which sounds kind of like it should be an April Fool’s Day joke, but is actually true.

According to , after picking up your groceries, you’ll be able to head over to one of the CarSaver kiosks tucked in next to a hair salon or a nail center and browse through your options with a little help from a CarSaver representative who will guide you through your new, used, or certified pre-owned options, alongside financing and insurance. And a few minutes later, you’ll have an appointment set up at a dealership within a 20 minute drive of your Walmart.

The partnership in Stuart, Florida, where a single store partnered with 20 dealerships to offer an at-your-fingertips sales service to Walmart customers. This year, they’re expanding to over 250 stores, but the first four will be located in Dallas, Houston, Phoenix, and Oklahoma City. The goal is to sell 1,000 vehicles at each store every year.

This deal might be good for consumers as well. that people who buy their cars through Walmart’s service have been saving more than $3,000 off the sticker price without having to go through all that painful in-person haggling. () Still, buying a car at Walmart will never be the sexiest proposition.

It also may not be great for dealerships. Plenty of people complain about higher prices at dealerships, but local sellers have been struggling as more and more people turn to websites or third-party dealers to strike a deal. And dealers probably won’t be loving the fact that Walmart, which infamously destroyed many an American small business, now has their eye on the consumer car market as well.

That’s because, if all things go according to plan, Walmart intends to have a CarSaver kiosk offered at just about every one of its locations in the country, making them the only store where you can furnish your home, stock up on groceries, clothe a family, and buy a car within the span of a half hour. That’s efficiency.

At $2,499, Could This Dimpled 2005 Mazda 6 Wagon Put a Dent in Your Wallet?
At $2,499, Could This Dimpled 2005 Mazda 6 Wagon Put a Dent in Your Wallet?
All hail today’s Mazda. Not because it looks like it’s been through a hail storm, but because it sports a long roof and a stick shift. Could those factors outweigh its golfball aesthetic? Think about all the things Korea has accomplished over the years. There’s delicious Kimchee, energetic K-Pop, and...

The Hyundai Veloster N Is So User-Friendly You Can Learn Stick and Autocross It in a Day
The is a practical commuter car with the specs to moonlight as a lowkey track day contender. I could barely drive stick when I climbed in, but by the end of the day I was autocrossing it. Not particularly quickly, but still, the N is friendly enough to turn anybody...

At $8,900, Would You Consider Horsing Around in This 2014 Hyundai Equus Ultimate?
At $8,900, Would You Consider Horsing Around in This 2014 Hyundai Equus Ultimate?
Being unmemorable is bad. Being unmemorable when you’re a car brand’s top model is unforgivable. Today’s Equus once carried Hyundai’s halo, but youlikely never gave these a second thought. Maybe this one’s price will finally make you sit up and take notice. Someone else’s project. That seems to be a...

Jaguar Will Sell You a Mashup of a Hellcat and an Evo But It’ll Cost $187,500
Jaguar Will Sell You a Mashup of a Hellcat and an Evo But It’ll Cost $187,500
The $187,500 feels like the vengeful offspring of a Dodge Hellcat and a Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution. Brutal acceleration, frightening exhaust note, razor-sharp around corners and it stops like it only weighs 1,000 pounds. It looks vaguely practical with four doors and a trunk, but make no mistake, this car is...
