Shopping around for a new vehicle can be a tedious, anxiety-ridden process to say the least. You have to make sure you're getting the best bang for your buck, but how do you do that without knowing what a car is worth (and it's not like you can take the dealer's word for it). That's where Star Reviews' auto quote website reviews come in. We set out to compare car quote websites, bringing you the top names the Internet has to offer. NadaGuides.com is one of the popular sites we visited. Here's how they stacked up to the competition...
What's New with Nada Guides Car Pricing Website?- Specs, photos, reviews and safety ratings available.
- Tips and advice for buying and selling your car.
- Latest information on available incentives and rebates.
Our Favorite NADA Guides Feature:
Our reviews teams really liked the side-by-side car comparisons available on the site. Get apples to apples comparisons on up to four different cars at one time. You select the make, year, model, style, and trim of each vehicle and can get a complete comparison of the specs and details of each one.
The Nada Guides Experience:
To be completely honest, the Star Reviews team felt that the Nada Guides website was one of the best sites we visited. It was definitely the easiest to use and navigate. The font is clear and there are no distracting ads, or marketing information for company affiliates. The homepage is simply set up with information on new cars and used cars, along with a menu of tabs at the top of the page for other topic selections.
Finding a price on used and new vehicles is easy using the site. Simply provide the site with information regarding the vehicle you are interested in and you will instantly receive pricing information for that specific model. If you think the prices look good and you want a firm quote from your local dealer, you can click on a tab from the homepage and get that quote sent right to you.
In addition to prices Nada Guides provides visitors with information on each car's standard features, warranty details and any incentives or rebates the manufacturers might currently be offering. If you want a one-stop research resource for your next vehicle purchase, this is definitely the place to be.

Nada Guide’s Customer Service:
We are happy to report that Nada Guides did not let us down on the customer service front. Although we would have liked to see a direct phone line, they do have several pages of frequently asked questions on their help page and a user-friendly online contact form. When we submitted our question using this form the company got back to us within two business days. Considering the site offers so many valuable tools and resources at no cost to the consumer, we feel that a lack of live phone support really doesn't take away from the overall positive impression the site had on us.
Upside:
Fast and easy quotes, reviews and ratings, rebate and incentive information available.
Downside:
No phone support.
