advance search bug
When doing a broad "all makes/ models" search the system does not distinguish the difference when a specific Body Type is selected. (ex. Trucks) the search results will yield all types of vehicles instead of limiting the search to just Pickup Trucks
1 voteFor all sources except Bring a Trailer, that doesn’t appear to be the case; I just double checked, and it does filter by body style as expected. Bring a Trailer doesn’t record body styles, so we’re not able to filter on our end. There’s a message at the top of the Bring a Trailer section to that effect. I think we may change to not showing those results by default when there’s a filter we can’t match on though.

add a ford mondeo
Add a Ford Mondeo/ Mondeo st200
1 voteOur model lists are based on the US market, but you can still search other markets. If you choose Ford and then select ‘Other’ in the model dropdown, it will give you the option to type in a model name. I would put Mondeo there, and then st200 in the trim field, if you want to search that trim.

Please add BAC (Briggs Automotive Company) to your list of manufacturers.
I know they don't come up much (very rare) but I'd like to be able to search for a BAC Mono if one ever came up for sale.
1 voteYou can search for niche makes like BAC (awesome track car btw!) by choosing the ‘Other Make’ option.

Hyundai Veloster N
You're missing the Hyundai Veloster N.
1 voteThe Veloster N is a trim level of the Veloster, so you should be able to search it by choosing Veloster, then entering N in the trim field.

List more cars
I entered the same search in my area on your site and then craigslist. Your site ( that supposedly looks at all sites) found 1(one) car. Craigslist alone showed me over 100 cars. Major flaw apparently.
My suggestion is to fix the site to do what you say it will do.1 voteWe do not have access to listings from craigslist, so we do what we can: we produce links to craigslist search results pages matching your search, and work out the most efficient set of such links to cover your entire search area, if it is larger than the 200-mile radius craigslist supports. If you scroll to the craigslist section of our results page and click the ‘Open All’ button, you will see these results, and will find everything that you would find searching craigslist manually (except much more quickly).

Improve the craigslist search and FB marketplace
Having to open a new window for each region is rediculous.
Also no FB marketplace support? It has mostly taken over since craigslist charges for vehicle listings.1 voteUnfortunately craigslist does not have an API, nor do they allow their listings to be scraped. So opening multiple pages is the best way we’re able to cover larger search areas than the couple hundred miles they support. I agree it’s not perfect, but it’s better than trying to search a bunch of different regions manually.
We do actually have a facebook marketplace link, along with autotrader and cargurus, in the comparison links section of our results page (at the bottom, or in the sidebar on desktop). Facebook also has a distance limit, like craigslist, so we’re planning to eventually do the same thing there—multiple links to cover a larger area.

It’s not missing—the model name of the 981 is just Cayman. It wasn’t until the 718 that the numeric identifier was made part of the actual model name.
To search for 981 Caymans specifically, we would recommend choosing Cayman, and setting min and max year filters. (2012-2016)

1 voteYou’d have to ask Tavarish! He owns the car, not us. :)

Laforza
I am interested in purchasing a Laforza but I do not see this make listed. Please add it. Thanks.
1 voteOur makes list is made up of those sold in the North American market, but you can still search other makes by choosing the ‘Other’ option from the dropdown. That will let you type in any make you’re interested in.

List the # of results in all areas of a nationwide search & show all in one list that can be sorted
It takes too long to open each area when looking for an item.. like a particular car. The optimal search would be to simply see all vehicles that match the criteria listed with a sort option. If someone is searching nationwide they are not worried about the geographic location. If they are than they could use a sort option.
1 voteIt is already possible to sort all results on the page in one list, using the sort controls at the top of the page. What we can’t include in that list are external comparison results, like those from craigslist. We’d love to, but craigslist doesn’t offer their results to be shown on external sites, which is why we link to their pages instead. And the largest search radius is 300 miles, which is why for larger searches we need to use multiple links.
We realize a single list would be more convenient, but since that’s not possible, we figure it’s still easier to have these links covering your whole search area created automatically, with a single button to open them all, vs having to search multiple regions manually.

Bmw XB7 alpina is not listed
Bmw XB7 alpina is not listed
1 voteTechnically Alpinas aren’t BMWs; they’re a separate make. Our lists only include makes and models sold in North America, but you can still search for other brands using the ‘Other make’ option. Choose Other Make, and then type in Alpina for make, and XB7 for model. Be sure to set a large search radius, and to check all the comparison links too—they’re obviously rare, so will be tough to find!

Millage
Why in the world would you allow listing of cars without the actual millage, millage is such an important critria, I would not waste my time to contact the seller, if millage not posted, and I would peter to use other websites where they mandate the millage such as Facebook Marketplace, Craig's list or Auto Trader than a site allows this.

Differentiate between paddle shift and gated manual
When searching for manual transmission, the results come up for paddle shift / electronic gear cars. I would like more specific transmission choices so we can find three pedal cars more easily.
1 voteCertainly the intent of the manual transmission filter is to only show actual manual transmissions, IE with a clutch pedal. The problem is, some sellers will list anything that can be manually shifted as a manual (for some reason that I can’t comprehend). Because we aggregate listings from multiple third parties, rather than getting them directly from the sellers, it’s difficult for us to do anything about this, beyond encouraging our partners to label their listings correctly.

Please add Pickup to Toyota model
Toyota Pickup, the official name and titled name of Toyota’s truck from 1968 - 1994
1 voteIncluding this model in the list was causing a fair amount of confusion for some users, but you can still search for it by typing it into the field yourself.

oodle thumbnails are very weak and grainy
For some reason I've noticed a pattern that ALL thumbnails shown via the Oodle search are very grainy and pixelated. When cars are shown from other searches as in cars.com, ebay etc the thumbnails are crystal clear. See the attached screen cap
1 voteIt's true that many of the thumbnails provided by Oodle are poor. Those are how they come from the source though, so unfortunately we don't have any control over them. We've found listing quality from Oodle to be fairly poor in general (things like this, lots of expired listings, etc.) which is why we don't have their results enabled by default.

add Aston Martin Cygnet
Please add Aston Martin Cygnet!
1 voteWe generally avoid adding models not sold in North America to our lists, to keep them from getting too long, but that doesn't mean you can't search for them. You can type any model name into the Model field, and AutoTempest will search for it. So in this case, I'd recommend choosing Aston Martin as the make, and then typing Cygnet into the model field. You can also set other filters if you wish. (Though they're going to be relatively rare, so it might not be worth filtering further.)

Add the Fiesta ST as a separate model
Needs its own model. Impossible to find apart from regular fiestas.
1 voteI just checked entering Fiesta as the model and ST in the trim field, and it seems to give good results? https://www.autotempest.com/results?make=ford&model=fiesta&trim_kw=ST

Add ability to search by trims using commas to separate the trims in the trim search field.
I tried to use CSV to search for the 3 trims I'm interested in, but the search removed the commas and I ended up with no results as the search tried to match every word.
1 voteThe trims field work the same as the keyword field - it does support searching for multiple different options, but you need to separate them with pipes rather than commas, and put quotes around them if they're multiple words, like this:
trim | "other trim" | "third trim"

Porche 911 Turbo
