5 reasons you should consider buying your next vehicle online

People are busier than ever these days. With soccer practices, jobs, games and that all-too-demanding book club, it can be challenging to find the time to take care of some necessities — like finding and buying a car.

If that's you, buying a car completely online could be a great option!

Online car buying has taken off in popularity in recent years, and there are no signs of slowing, reports Allied Market Research. And it makes sense. Online car buying is convenient, easy and not much different than deciding which shoes to order from Amazon.

Okay, maybe it's a little different than that, but still, online car buying is almost too easy.

The Drive Young program from the Young Automotive Group is just one example of why so many people are choosing to buy cars completely online. If you're curious whether buying online makes sense for you, here are six reasons why you should consider it.

Saves time

Buying a car online means just that: from start to finish, you can do the whole process from the comfort of your couch. It's fast, too. Some purchases are possible in under an hour, which is less time than it takes a four-year-old to eat microwaved chicken nuggets.

Traditionally, going to a dealership, scouting out the car, negotiating the price and sitting in the finance office would take hours, or even longer, writes Doug DeMuro of Autotrader.

So while shopping in person is still an option for those wanting an old-school approach, it's also possible to seal the deal during the commercial breaks of your favorite show.

Little haggling

One of the absolute best aspects of buying a car online is the no-haggle approach most dealerships take to their online sales. Car values are no secret these days, and with online tools like Kelley Blue Book and J.D. Power, it's easy to see exactly what a dealer pays for most new vehicles.

With so much online data available to consumers, dealers are listing much of their inventory at a fair price upfront. This eliminates a lot of worry. Gone are the days of going back and forth with the salesman and their manager. Now, the price you see advertised is the price you get, making it a win-win for everyone involved.

Browse from home

When it comes to viewing the car you want to buy your options are: A) go to the dealership, locate the car you're interested in and walk around it for five minutes kicking the proverbial (or literal) tires, or B) browse online listings from the comfort of home while wearing your favorite Disneyland sweatpants.

In today's world, there's an abundance of car photos, reviews and videos online. As a result, you likely can find high-quality images and video of the exact car you're looking for with just a few clicks.

Checking out cars online makes the process simple. You don't have to drive all over trying to find the best deal. Comparing trims, colors, options and features has never been easier. This is made especially easy with programs like Drive Young which have hundreds of vehicles available for browsing.

Home delivery

And just like an Amazon package, most online car-buying programs will hand deliver your vehicle right to your house. It's easy, fast and leaves more time to binge-watch your new favorite series. Don't worry — a dealer representative will be happy to show you all the cool features of your new car, all without having to leave your driveway.

For most online programs, like Drive Young, delivery costs within 100 miles of the vehicle location are covered. For deliveries outside of that radius, additional transportation fees may apply.
