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-April 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.

For $3,350, This 1987 Mazda 626GT Is Five By Five
For $3,350, This 1987 Mazda 626GT Is Five By Five
With its five doors, five speeds and a turbo four pot, today’s Mazda might have all the right numbers. You’ll still have to decide if its price adds up. I am shocked, SHOCKED I tell you, that so few thought that a wicked-weird rusty-framed French three-seat sports car built for...

For $7,500, This Rotary-Powered 1981 Toyota Starlet Is Your Red Dwarf
For $7,500, This Rotary-Powered 1981 Toyota Starlet Is Your Red Dwarf
Top Gear famously put a star in a reasonably priced car. I want to put someone in today’s rotary-powered Starlet, but only if it’s in fact determined to be, reasonably priced. Of the Seventies’ U.S.-built import fighters only AMC’s Gremlin managed to survive without some catastrophic brand hobbling malady afflicting...

For $8,450, Is This 1977 Ford F150 A Real Steel Steal?
For $8,450, Is This 1977 Ford F150 A Real Steel Steal?
While today’s F150 may have an aluminum body and an EcoBoost heart, our ’77 is all about American steel and a big V8. However, will its price have you chanting U.S.A, U.S.A., U.S.A? Despite its 85% Nice Price win and rousing support in the comments, yesterday’s too cool for school...

For $4,650, This 2002 Isuzu Rodeo Will Flip Its Lid, And That’s No Lie
Prevaricating Joe Isuzu is one of advertising’s most beloved characters. In fact, if the vehicles he hawked had been half as well liked, Isuzu would still be selling them here. For today’s we have one for sale - used of course - but will you truthfully love its price? Last...

For $6,200, This 1972 Volvo P-1800ES Is Your Herrgårdsvagn För Jakt
At first Volvos weren’t boxy, and then they were. Now, once again, they aren’t. Today’s P-1800 is from the first non-boxy time, but will its price have you thinking outside the box? If the closest you’ve ever gotten to a rodeo is a mechanical bull - and you’ve got the...

For $10,000, This 1977 Matra-Simca Bagheera S Is A Triple Threat
Bagh is Hindi for cat and Bagheera is the name of the cunning panther in Kipling’s Mowgli stories. It’s also the name of today’s Matra, and it will be up to you to decide just how cunningly priced this rare cat is. I’m thinking that there must have been some...
