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-September 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.

2017 Cadillac CT6 Plug-In Hybrid: The Tech Review
2017 Cadillac CT6 Plug-In Hybrid: The Tech Review
The new Plug-In Hybrid is supposed to be futuristic-feeling luxury without the scary unfamiliarly of a pure-EV powertrain or a “startup” brand backing it. The execution—even in a brief jaunt—is impressive enough to convert some electric skeptics in the big executive car crowd. More than that, it speaks to how...

I Can Confirm That The New Smart Car Is Good
I Can Confirm That The New Smart Car Is Good
I instantly despised the first when it debuted. Smart my ass. No car should try to convince you that buying one was a good decision. However! The car grew on me and I finally drove the new one. Much to my great pleasure, it was a genuinely wonderful vehicle, though...

For $30,000, Could This 2006 Ford F-350 Car Carrier/Camper Be All The Prep You Need?
If you’re a prepper AND a car nut then today’s … er, chimera, is the… um, car/house/garage for you. The question is, will the upcoming apocalypse break the bank? I must say that I’m a bit flabbergasted that yesterday’s garnered an overwhelming 80-percent Crack Pipe loss. I figured five-grand would...

How My Arranged Marriage With Volvo Got Hot Again
How My Arranged Marriage With Volvo Got Hot Again
I met Volvo for the first time in the year 2000. My dad introduced us, both shy and unsure of our futures, on a balmy summer day not long after my 16th birthday. He’d already paid the $500 dowry, and I had little choice in the matter. That rusty 1985...

For $5,000, Could This 1983 Subaru 1800GL Convertible Have You Flexing Your Wallet?
For $5,000, Could This 1983 Subaru 1800GL Convertible Have You Flexing Your Wallet?
Today’s Subaru is just like Anne Boylen, an old girl who’s had her head chopped off. Lucky for us, this aftermarket beheading hasn’t meant the Subie’s demise. We’ll have to see if its price kills it for you, however. Overcoming fear of the unknown is a laudable achievement for the...

The 2018 Audi R8 Spyder Is A $175,000 Absolution Of All Guilt You Could Possibly Ever Feel
The man who dropped off the keys to a loaner 2018 at my trendy eighth-floor walk-up on the Lower East Side shuffled away after the transaction was complete, looking over his shoulder longingly at the shining supercar like he was walking away forever from his firstborn son. In fact, he...
