How to get a free CarGurus review sample
Same short wizard as a paid order — profile, website, email — except this path claims one draft, not a package.
Step 1
Paste the live CarGurus listing
The public CarGurus URL is the page a shopper opens. The sample is written against that listing, not a stock paragraph.
Step 2
Add the website so copy matches what you sell
Platform-controlled invitations — CarGurus, not the dealer, sends up to two review-invite emails, starting about a week after that first contact.
Step 3
We email one review draft
One sample within one business day. No card. If you want volume after, CarGurus packages start at $110.
What a free CarGurus sample actually is
This URL is not a CarGurus review package. It is one draft so you can judge tone before you spend. Volume — and any move in your CarGurus rating — lives on the buy page from $110.
- One shopper-style sample
- A note on VDP rating vs nearby rooftops

Why CarGurus scoring matters before you buy volume
Why a CarGurus dealer rating isn’t static
A CarGurus review isn’t something a shopper can leave whenever they like. Eligibility is lead-gated: only a shopper who contacted the dealership through CarGurus — using the listing’s contact form or clicking the on-page dealer phone number — becomes eligible for a review invite. CarGurus itself then sends up to two invite emails, starting about a week after that first contact, and the shopper has to verify their contact information before the review posts.
CarGurus does not publish the exact formula behind a dealer’s overall rating, but it does state that reviews older than two years are excluded from that calculation, even though they remain visible on the dealer’s profile. That means the number can move over time with no new customer activity at all, simply because older reviews age out of the window — a rating built on a review base from a few years ago will keep drifting even without a single new negative experience.
- Lead-gated eligibility — only shoppers who contacted the dealership through CarGurus (listing contact form or on-page phone number) are eligible to review it.
- Platform-controlled invitations — CarGurus, not the dealer, sends up to two review-invite emails, starting about a week after that first contact.
- A rolling two-year window — reviews older than two years drop out of the rating calculation entirely, even though they stay visible on the profile.
- Content and fraud screening — submissions are checked against CarGurus’s content guidelines before publishing, and reviews CarGurus determines to be fraudulent are excluded from the count.
