  1. 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!

  2. 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!

  3. 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.

  5. 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.

    The 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.

    Thanks 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!

    As 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.

    This 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.

    Since we are not partnered with craigslist, we unfortunately do not have access to the pictures on their ads.

    Thanks for the suggestion though!

    Thanks 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!

  13. Filter out bids

    Unfortunately 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.

  14. 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???

    Probably 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.

  15. 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

    We’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!

  16. automatic emailing of new qualified listings

    1 - enter a search

  17. 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.

    Some 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’.
