Shopping for a new car? Wait. A fully-loaded, reliable, nearly-new lease return may be your better option. Copilot’s new Compare tool shows you where they’re hiding - and reveals just how much you can save while ensuring you get the exact equipment you want.

I’ve been using CoPilot for about a month now and their data is incredible. I have a BMW that’s just about a decade old and it’s on its last leg. It’s been all over the US from Chicago to Mississippi. It’s served me well, but not sure how long she has left! It’s been really crazy valuable to see how much I can sell it for, what I can get for the value, if the dealer is giving me a deal or not, how motivated they are to sell... and a ton more. Buying a car is so complicated and CoPilot has been great to help me simplify the process and get an A+ new to me car for a small fraction of the cost the dealer would extract out of me for a 2020 model. I don’t think I’ll ever buy any other way. Oh, and it’s FREE (don’t ask me how they do it!)

@inventitorfixit I appreciate the comment and am glad that you had such a great experience Jordan. Let me address the question of how do we monetize while remaining your independent expert advisor. We don't take money from dealers or manufacturers and, unlike traditional online car shopping sites, dealers and manufacturers can never pay to be ranked higher in (or even included in) our recommendations and results. So how will we make money? As the CoPilot community grows so does the buying power for other things related to owning a car. For example, we will be able to provide our members with great deals on auto insurance and the like, providing you with big savings while providing us a "win-win" way to make money.

As a first time car buyer, CoPilot helped give me the information I needed to find a car that fit exactly what I was looking for - selected my mileage, budget, and must have features and CoPilot did the rest. Over a year later and I am still thrilled with the car I chose and the experience. Beyond just finding me the right car it helped me learn more about what was a good deal and when the right time to buy would be. That helped a TON as I went into the dealership armed with knowledge and ready to negotiate. This led to real savings that I would never have known how to secure on my own. I recommend CoPilot to coworkers, family and friends - really anyone who will listen. Give it a shot and you won’t be disappointed!

@alex_pinder Thanks for your comment Alex. Your point on right time to buy is critical to getting the best car at the best price. We are introducing Compare now because the nearly new market will be offering its best deals in a long time later this fall and in early winter.

Arndt here, also from CoPilot. I wanted to share my personal 🚗 story and why I am so excited about introducing CoPilot Compare to you with @mbaker_4 @patryanchicago and the team. In 2017 (way before Compare existed) I found myself in a new role, having to commute 2 hours every day. I didn’t have a car. Some research later, I decided I really wanted a Volkswagen GTI. I am a car geek, but the experience of shopping for a new car drove even me insane. I gave up after looking at dozens of new cars, frustrated with dealers and Truecar, intransparent pricing (“this incentive actually doesn’t apply to you”), and finance deals hiding costs in the fine print. Out of that frustration, I stumbled across a “certified” 2016 model of the GTI, two trim levels up from what I was shopping for. Instead of the original price of ~$36k it was priced at ~$28k with (drumroll...) only 4700 miles. And I learned that 2016 and 2017 models are basically identical. I drove that (nearly new) car off the lot for ~$26k a day later, financed. It was an early lease return and someone else had literally taken a $10,000 hit before me, plus I got all the extra bells and whistles… Leather seats, sports package, sunroof, Apple CarPlay, etc.. It came with 2 years of manufacturer bumper-to-bumper warranty, something I learned later is common for certified cars. I got lucky back then, and I am excited that by introducing CoPilot Compare, we’ll get more people to consider the alternative I stumbled into by accident. Most people never even consider these slightly used (or “nearly new” as we call them) cars and we want to change that. Whatever your reason is for wanting a new car: Don’t get one just yet. Maybe think of my story first and let Compare help you decide if there are better alternatives. Why not take a look at least? And yes, I still have the GTI. Best car ever, love that thing. But ouch, tires are expensive. Questions? Car questions? Bring it on.
