make it easy to see all alerts registered to an email
After the recent server crash, I can't tell if many of my searches have gone quiet or were lost. You sent a list of active alerts after the incident, but many of my searches have inexplicably fallen silent. I have no idea which searches are still active. And because I customize the sources, that makes it very difficult to guess the exact parameters saved in a given search. If you embed a .csv of the search parameters in each email, I can figure it out from there. Or let me enter my email on the website and download a .csv…
1 voteYep, we're already working on adding the subscription list to every email! Should be done soon.

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!

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.

add abilty to restrict certain locations
current where i live i get flooded with ads from Brooklyn, NY and have to scroll through a dozen ads to get to a different location. makes autotempest near impossible to find a car in my state thats not in Brooklyn

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?

Instant Shipping Quotes
You need to add instant shipping quotes like CarZing.com has. So that when I do a nationwide search I know if I can afford to have the vehicle delivered to me

Small Truck Option
I'd like to see the single Truck category be split into small and full size (or large). (Canyon, Tacoma, Ranger, etc)
right now i'm having to type in the model of every small truck and an option for that would be much nicer to have.
1 voteI see what you mean. Unfortunately since we don’t get that data from our sources, I think the only way we could do it would be something similar to what you’re doing—we’d need to keep a list of all the small vs large truck models. Might look into it at some point if this idea is popular.

The ability to search craigslist regions instead of a "circle" around my area.
The ability to search craigslist regions instead of a "circle" around my area.
So if I want to exclude let's say cars from Salt Lake City vs. Phoenix.
If I live in vegas and search within a certain circle I get both, but I don't ever want cars from Utah or Idaho for that matter. So if I could just have a clickable map to always search that would be nice.
1 voteWe’re actually planning to add a filter very soon that will let you restrict results to only within your state, so hopefully that will help. A fully customized selector, potentially with a map, would be much more involved, and may not be worth the time or interface complexity compared to other things we could do—but we will consider it. Will leave this under review for now.

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…

Ability to hold the CTRL button to select multiple options from the dropdown menus.
Currently when you select a color or other option from the dropdown menu the menu closes and you have to reopen it for each option you want to select. It would be much nicer & faster if we could hold the CTRL button down and the menus stay open so we can select multiple options quickly.
