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-February 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.

Furious 7 Is Perfectly Ridiculous
Furious 7 Is Perfectly Ridiculous
I’d never seen a Fast And Furious film before the surprise premiere of at Austin’s SXSW, but I’d seen enough clips that I thought I knew what to expect. Nope. There were way more cars flying out of planes than I’d imagined and The Rock and Jason Statham fight in...

For $9,500, This 1985 Chrysler LeBaron Is Your Special K
For $9,500, This 1985 Chrysler LeBaron Is Your Special K
LeBaron is a venerated coachbuilder name. Today’s LeBaron attempts to one-up the factory swag in bringing that name’s former grander to the K-car. The effort is applaudable, but is the price as well? Whether it’s the last slice of pie, the series finale of your favorite show, or praise from...

For $15,995, This 1969 Olds Cutlass Has a 455 And A Column Shift
Three on the tree used to be standard fare, but is now unique and idiosyncratic. Today’s Cutlass has that and much, much more, but will its price make it a low-hanging fruit? Yesterday may have been April 1st, but there was no foolin’ you with that ‘. Like every baby...

For $8,000, This Custom Jeepski Will Let You Make Waves
One if by land, two if by sea, and eight-grand if by today’s Jeep-bodied jet ski. Could that be a number that would have you getting onboard with this crazy water-going American icon? Is there any greater single symbol of America's involvement in WWII than the Jeep? That do-all transport...

For $5,200, You Could Pickup This 1986 Subaru Brat
Heads up, today’s Brat is being sold by a fellow Jalop-in-Arms, so let’s be nice. Not too nice however, as we still need to know if his price is batty rather than Bratty. Hey guess what, yesterday’s didn’t generally float your boats. Its price also proved to be less than...

For $8,500, This 1971 BMW 2002 Brings Some Neue Klasse
For $8,500, This 1971 BMW 2002 Brings Some Neue Klasse
Today’s BMW is an old-school Neue Klasse. It’s also apparently very low mileage, but will its price ultimately match its miles? Buttery soft leather, designer clothes, a rip-snorting DOHC V8 engine, yesterday’s seemingly had it all. Sometimes however, too much is never enough, and at almost eleven grand, that Italian...
