ATLANTA, Ga., Dec. 22, 2014 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- via PRWEB - Consumers find car buying painful. CarLingo recently surveyed 266 car shoppers, using market research firm Qualtrics' Research Suite. The results of this consumer car shopping survey identifies interesting insights about consumers' thoughts and perceptions around car buying. Specifically:
1. Only half (51%) of consumers are satisfied with the current state of receiving a trade-in offer.
2. Just over half (60%) of consumers are confused by the multiple facets of their monthly car payment.
3. Only 47% of consumers are satisfied with the current state of applying for financing.
4. Only 45% of consumers are satisfied with the current state of filling out paperwork at the dealership.
5. Over one-quarter (28%) of consumers don't know how to select a dealer that best meets their needs.
"From these findings, it is clear that consumers continue to have a hard time with the car buying process," said CarLingo CEO and Founder Steve Greenfield. "There's plenty of work to do to improve the automotive shopping process, and CarLingo expects that car shopping and buying solutions will evolve to tackle some of these big pain points for consumers."
"Over the next few years, we expect that a number of new technology solutions will emerge to help consumers with both their car shopping and car buying process," said Greenfield. "It's going to be exciting to see how the entire end-to-end car buying process evolves."
