Cars.com: All private sellers are missing
The following cars are not listed not AutoTempest:
https://www.cars.com/vehicledetail/6969bdef-7ddc-4a5c-b064-d8ebc1f976ad/
https://www.cars.com/vehicledetail/e8093505-14ba-4fac-92f8-f6037660f324/
https://www.cars.com/vehicledetail/f0c6e31a-2126-4d3b-9428-56a0b00630e8/
All listings have one in common, they are not from dealers but private sellers. Not sure if that is the cause, but I guess it is the cause. This is very confusing because a user of your page thinks the listings from Cars.com is complete and one does not need an additional manual search on Cars.com. Therefore, at least in my case, a lot of cars went missing.
Actually this was reported before in the year 2015 already: https://autotempest.uservoice.com/forums/94575/suggestions/7088484
However, I do not see how it was completed. Or the issue was re-introduced somehow. Other searchers like LeParking.fr face the same issue. If this is an issue of Cars.com themselves and has to reported to them directly, please, tell me whether you report there or I should do.

Hello,
Thanks for sending this! We do not have permission to list private party listings from cars.com at this time. Hopefully that changes in the future!
Cheers,
Brendan

As you suggested, it probably wouldn't hurt it suggest to Cars.com that you would like to see their private seller listings appear on AutoTempest. Unfortunately it's out of our hands until they make that decision.
For those seeking a way to list directly on AutoTempest, we recommend PrivateAuto, using our code to list for free: https://www.autotempest.com/sell -

OK, but then there should be a note or ideally a button somewhere. I learned that the hard way (by missing several cars). Or was this a duplicate feature request and there is another suggestion I can upvote?
