Vinder – Helping You Connect with Cars You Wouldn’t Normally Meet

Apr 1, 2016 by Steve Halloran

 

Vinder: Tinder for cars

 

Today we officially launch Vinder, a revolutionary new car match-making app that helps lonely car searchers discover their next joyride. Tons of people are infatuated with their cars, and Vinder is the first app that gives this group the chance to swipe right and find the perfect car for a quickie test drive or perhaps commit to a cross-country trip.

Getting paired up will be super easy. To start a local search just choose from focus-tested categories like “Weekend Fling” or “Marriage Material.” Then the real magic begins, as you swipe through cars looking for your perfect match. A swipe left will reject a car, and a swipe right will add that car to your matches. A swipe up will contact the seller immediately for a must-have car, and Vinder will never show the same vehicle twice.

“CarGurus is built on the premise of helping car buyers find the best deal on their desired car, and Vinder is taking that a step further by actually matching a perfect pairing,” said CarGurus CEO and Resident Matchmaker Langley Steinert. “CarGurus has conducted detailed research and analysis on the budding swipe economy, and we strongly believe Vinder will be the beginning of many beautiful relationships.”

Please go to http://vinder.cargurus.com for more information and updates about finding your next car crush with Vinder. We look forward to integrating Vinder with wearables like the Apple Watch to monitor heart rates while folks looking for a partner view car slideshows, so an increased heart rate can save a listing and a skipped beat can even contact the seller.

And if you’ve read this far, you may realize that this is a joke – Happy April Fools!
