Make a tool to suggest models for people who don't know what vehicles to search for
Not everyone knows what car they're looking for, but they do know what types of cars they're looking for. We thought it'd be cool to have a tool that asks you a couple questions about what you need and want from a car, and then suggests certain models that fit your requirements. Vote for this idea if you think a tool like that would be useful!
4 votesNot a lot of interest in this one. Going to focus on more ways to search, rather than a separate tool.

Please add “mototempest”
Hi my buddies and I really love your site when we search for cars but recently we have been looking for a specific motorcycle and I came up with the wish of having something like “autotempest” but for motorcycles and calling it “mototempest”. Hopefully sometime in the future you guys can add searches for motorcycles thanks!

Add 'titles only' option to AutoTempest main page
Right now the 'titles only' option isn't selectable until on SearchTempest. Unfortunately, selecting this omits the year range previously selected in AutoTempest. This means new AutoTempest/SearchTempest can either search titles only OR a year range, but not both. An example is I cannot search for keyword 'cyclone|montego' 1968-1969 titles only. NOTE: this issue does not exist on old.AutoTempest and switching to the Craigslist tab.

Filter by number of owners
Filter by number of owners. Necessary to find out if your electric vehicle (EV) or fuel cell vehicle (FCV) qualifies for a tax credit based on 1 owner limitation.
3 votesUnfortunately we don't have access to information on previous owners, so there's no way for us to add this filter.

Revert ZIP Codes Field Back to Being Not Required
I used to search though all of the US without even inputting a single ZIP code and would get results from all over the country. Now that it's a required field and in addition to me not living in the US and not knowing any codes it has become a problem to me since I have a hobby of looking up the prices of certain vehicles.
Please think of reverting back or add an "any" option to the field.3 votesThe reason for this change has to do with our partnerships with some suppliers of vehicle listings. You can still choose ‘any’ for the search distance though, in which case we’ll show you whatever vehicles we can find, regardless of the zip code you enter. US zip codes are 5-digit numbers.

filter search by colour
filter by colour
3 votesThanks for the suggestion! However, because we aggregate our results from multiple sources, and not all those sources filter for colours or use the same names for colours, it’s unlikely that we will implement this feature. To add to that, many listings use the factory name for the colour, which would make for hundreds of colour options like “forest emerald” and “sandalwood”. You can still filter by colour if you like by entering the colour in the keywords field of your search.
Hope it helps!

Fuel Type
Add a fuel type filter.
2 votesAs it stands, few of our sources support filtering by fuel type, so it’s difficult for us to do it ourselves. However, you can add your desired fuel type as a keyword, which should give you somewhat accurate results.

Sort by horsepower
Sorting by horsepower.
1 voteThis is a cool idea, but unfortunately not something we’re able to easily do. A single model will have different horsepower depending on engine and trim options, and model year, not all of which we have for every listing, nor do we currently have a database of the horsepower for every possible model/year/trim.

1 voteHi Greg,
This form is to suggest features for autotempest.com, a used car search engine. You could certainly use AutoTempest to search for an S2000 though!

Gonna repeat it until it's functional
Sort by multiple make\model and drivetrains please.
1 voteThese are already planned. “repeating until it’s functional” is counterproductive, because I have to spend time cleaning up the duplicates instead of working on the site.

Add thumbnail display picture
Have display pictures when listing the Craigslist result. There is no picture currently. A nice little thumbnail would be great.
1 voteSince we are not partnered with craigslist, we unfortunately do not have access to the pictures on their ads.
Thanks for the suggestion though!

Add Pickup Bed length 2 Advanced Search options
Need search option for pickup bed length
1 voteThanks for the suggestion! Unfortunately, very few of our sources support filtering by bed length. As a result, we would have difficulties filtering for that ourselves. If we ever find some way to implement this though, we’ll definitely consider it!

Filter out bids
Remove bids and see only sale price when looking for a specific price range.
1 voteUnfortunately the ebay API doesn’t support better filtering by price. that said, you can filter out all auction results by deselecting “eBay Auctions” in the change sources menu, that can be found at the top of the source nav bar near the top of the results page.

Year groupings
I should be able to check off particular years I am interested in, rather than a chronological group. For example, I should be able to do a search on Porsche 911, 1987-1989 and 1995-1998, all in one search. Or Honda Civic, 2009, 2012, 2015, and 2017. Sometimes particular model years have likes or dislikes, and you would want to reduce your results accordingly. Maybe an option where you can check boxes for the exact years you are interested in???
1 voteProbably not something we’re going to do, as it’s a relatively uncommon desire, which can be done by saving separate searches. I can understand how it would be nice if that’s what you’re specifically looking to do, but at this time we don’t feel the added complexity of the interface would be a reasonable tradeoff.

Changes?
add southeast to your area search options.
Is there a need to add a western NC to the search cities/area list for north carolina?
add Hillman to the car list
1 voteWe’re working on adding “comboboxes” instead of the existing dropdowns, which will let you type any make or model you like, as well as selecting from our lists. Until that’s done though, you can work around it by choosing “Any Make” and typing Hillman in the keywords box instead.
Regarding locations, if you’re referring to the craigslist locations that come up on SearchTempest.com, Western NC is listed as Asheville, but it’s the same site. Hope that helps!

Doug pentamaero@gmail.com1 voteThis is definitely on our radar. Already have a request for it here: https://autotempest.uservoice.com/admin/forums/94575-autotempest/suggestions/6626695-send-notifications-when-a-new-listing-is-found-for

Add a "search by state" filter.
It's annoying to register an out of state car here in Ohio. Searching by distance includes out of state results that I don't want to see.

Using the site without a zip code
Use the sites without a zip code on every search will be useful
1 voteSome of our listings partners require a zip code to show you all possible listings, so we do need to keep that requirement. You can always enter something random like 12345 or 90210 though, and set the search radius to ‘any’.

Hey! I’ve been looking for a VW Golf TDI and I don’t seem to find a filter for that in your website!
1 voteHi! You should be able to search for Golf TDIs by choosing Golf from the model dropdown box, and then typing “TDI” in the Trim field. Definitely let us know if you still have difficulties though!
