We created Carsabi back in Oct 2011 with the goal of easing the process of purchasing a used car, and providing a service that aims to index every automotive vehicle and connect more users to their car of choice each day.

But now it’s time for us to take a different turn. We want to take this impact to the next level – and help Facebook users connect and share. Because Facebook is not acquiring Carsabi.com, we're looking for someone to buy the Carsabi service, so the two of us can focus on our new jobs. We can ...

The year was 1963, and the need was a convertible. With my savings a new car was out of the question. I'd looked for a used car all summer and I was advised as autumn approached the market for used convertibles went down.

I found my dream car - a 1955 Chevy Bel Air convertible. In the Fifties there were very few foreign cars, and the American carmakers made drastic changes in model styles almost every year. Chevy had changed the profile of their ‘55 models to a lower profile, adding a new front suspension, rear springs and improved brakes ...

Buying a car can be scary. It can feel like you’re the only one sweating it; after all, it’s your hard-earned money that’s at stake here. The seller might seem like the one holding all the cards, and when you get there you’ll feel like all the risk is yours.

But that doesn’t have to be the case.

When I sold my car - an awesome, classic Toyota Land Cruiser to Let’s-Call-Him-Greg, I was subjected to twenty of the most terrifying minutes of my life, where Greg analyzed and scrutinized every possible detractor from the ...

As gas prices creep higher again, a great car option to consider is the Chevrolet Volt, a plug-in hybrid. Why then will production soon be suspended for five weeks? So far sales have been disappointing. Volts also got a bad rap for a series of fires after impact testing by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration due to coolant leaks. GM has since modified the car and received a clean bill of health from the NHTSA.

In contrast, another hybrid, the Toyota Prius has topped 3 million sales worldwide. Although the Prius can be driven for up to 14 miles ...

What does your ride say about you?

Ryan Phillipe is 5’9” – ever wonder how he got so many ladies in the film, Cruel Intentions? Yes, that’s right… it was the car; a 1956 Jaguar XK140 Roadster, to be specific. Oh, you don’t own one? Well hey, we can’t all drive sexy classics, but that doesn’t mean you can’t flirt a bit with your ride.

So what kind of vibe is your car sending out? We broke it down into five distinct categories:

Cute and Spunky: This is where you’ll find your Volkswagen Beetle ...

I’ve owned Dodges and Fords and Toyotas and Hondas and Infinity and BMWs, and there was always one constant - the car was cool. That’s right, even my ’84 Toyota Tercel SR5 wagon was cool for it’s unconventional styling. Quality workmanship and reliability were tops on my list as well. Never would I stoop so low as to consider riding around in a Yugo or Suzuki or Hyundai or - gasp! - Kia. But today’s Kia is an entirely different animal. They’re hamsters and bears and sock monkeys and robots.

Kia Motors is Korea’s oldest automobile manufacturer ...

Men, you have all heard the rule on proper door etiquette “You should always open the door for a lady.” Whether your mother told you, a friend, Oprah, or some girl who dumped you - you know it’s true. You may choose to abide by this advice or not, but take it from me: to make a good first impression and to plant the seed of desirability in a woman’s mind you must absolutely remember to open her car door! 

I must confess: I’m a truck guy. I love my truck. I love the fact that economy cars look at my truck with the same soul-shattering fear squirrels have when they look at hungry pit bulls. I love the fact that every Saturday, some little-known friend of a cousin asks me to help him move possessions to large for his sedan. I love the fact that a well-placed rev from my V-8 can drown out and end any unwanted input. I cannot imagine driving anything else but a fire-spitting, gravel-kicking, battleship-towing pick-up; which makes the whole idea that I ...
