Please Add "Made In" filter to search
I would like to see models there were made in Japan for example (VIN starting with J) and this can be easily achieved with a "Made In" filter.
Compare the starting letters of a VIN with the table in World manufacturer identifier and we can then search for cars that were manufactured in any country.
Thank you!

Print the unique number of cars accross all partners for a given search criterias
As a user, I would like to know how many unique cars there are across all partners for my research,
So that I can better estimate how many cars in my search are in the overall market at a given time.I believe that using the tuple [Make, Model, Price, Year, Mileage] to guess if it's the same car across multiple partners would be sufficient. Would be better with VIN but no all ads display it.
Love auto-tempest! I'm a developer myself and in the market for a new car and that idea is very convenient! I guess you cannot…
1 voteCurrently we do already deduplicate vehicles from different partners, so for thr most part anyngiven car should only be seen (and counted ) once. (Though occasionally exceptions will slip through.) We also already show a combined count of vehicles returned from all sources at the top of the page.
What's missing is, it currently only shows the number that have been displayed; if there are multiple pages of results, the later pages won't be added to the count until they've been loaded. (This is because our back-end queries haven't actually pulled up those vehicles yet, so the front end doesn't know how many there are.) This was necessary in the past to keep the searches as fast as possible. However as search tools have progressed it's less important now. So we actually do have plans to add a complete count, not only of results, but also of remaining results for…

Add filter for towing capacity
It would be great to have a filter for towing capacity to compare between vehicles and see what's the best option for towing.
3 votesTricky as we don't get this info from most of our sources, and it can vary based on trim, packages, etc. Will leave this here to gauge interest though.

Add filters for max seating capacity
Please add a filter for number of people the cars seat. With different SUVs with a 3rd row is not always straight fwd if it seats 7 or 8 people.
3 votesWe don't get this from most of our sources either, but it may eventually be possible using a combination of analyzing descriptions, parsing VINs, etc.

Currently only 10 saved searches per email, limit needs to be MUCH higher
Currently, I can only have 10 saved searches per email. This is frustrating and convoluted as most car enthusiasts enjoy more than 10 cars. Please allow us to save unlimited or at least 30-50 saved searches.
For example, eBay and Realtor.com allows unlimited saved searches and its so convenient when I get email notifications of a product I've been waiting for comes on sale. OfferUp allows 50 I believe. There shouldn't be a limit for car enthusiasts!

Search by number of seatbelts!
Please please please add a feature to search for vehicle by number of seatbelts. There are a lot of SUVs that make models with an optional third row and it is incredibly tedious to look at each listing.

new search is too limited/restricted
Advanced search filters allowed for zeroing in on a desired model & features, now you can only do that for used vehicles. Please add advanced filters to New search.

add the ability to filter out specific sellers.
My results are full of flood and totaled vehicles, even when I sort by clean title. The ability to blacklist sellers would be fantastic, since it's just the one seller. They're 43 miles from me, but all the big cities are around 100miles away, so I can't change distance.
1 voteWhile we don't have an explicit option to filter sellers, we do support negative keywords. Is the dealer's name in the body of the ad? If so, you could filter out any ads containing that word by putting it in the keywords prefaced by a minus sign, like
-dealername
Does that help?

The ability to change currency denominations
I would like to be able to look at cars in CAD instead of USD. For those of us outside of the USA who are looking to buy a car there for personal or professional reasons, having the option to choose your own currency would be great!

Please add a Right Hand Drive (RHD) search option. RHD cars in the USA are cheap, great for export, but finding them takes an age!
Please add a Right Hand Drive (RHD) search option. RHD cars in the USA are cheap, great for export, but finding them takes an age!
1 voteHave you tried using the keywords field to search? I would think searching for either “right hand drive” or RHD would find them all. You can do that like this:
“right hand drive” | RHD

Add buttons to save vehicle to 'watch list', or to ignore vehicle in searches
It would be nice when searching lots of cars in multiple searches to ignore certain cars, and to be able to review a car, and then save it for future consideration (maybe with a 7 day limit to keep the list fresh). This would be better than grabbing URLs and stuffing in Keep.
1 voteThis is definitely something that’s on our radar; we have some other priorities that are higher, since bookmarks or something like Keep does work for this, but we agree that a feature like you describe here would be helpful!

Sort cars by country or continent origin, Like: give me results for German cars.
I would like to search for Italian cars, German cars, USA cars, etc. This will pile up all in one result.
1 voteThat could be really handy having them grouped together like that.
