Vehicle size selection
Select vehicle size: micro, sub-compact, compact, etc
1 voteThat could be a helpful search feature!
You can search for vehicles with those words in the descriptions by using the keyword field: https://www.autotempest.com/results?zip=90210&localization=any&domesticonly=0&keywords=compact but this will also pull up other models that might have those words in the description so you get mixed results. Having a dedicated filter for it would eliminate results that don't match the size.

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.

Posted for longer than a year: Year missing
If a car is posted for several days, your webpage shows ‘Apr 3rd’ beside a small clock icon. Love that. However, if the car was posted last year in April, there is no mentioning of the year like ‘Apr 3rd '23’. Consequently, one does not know whether it was posted ‘Apr 3rd '24’ or ‘Apr 3rd '23’ or ‘Apr 3rd '22’ or …
Normally, cars are not posted that long, I know. Normally, you have several cars spread over several months making this obvious. However, I am just reporting, for example in this search https://www.autotempest.com/results?make=chevrolet&model=volt&localization=any&domesticonly=0&minyear=2013&maxyear=2013&exterior_color=gray&interior_color=beige only two cars get listed,…
1 voteGood point. We've added this to plans.

add ability to exclude brands and models from a search
I think a search feature that would be helpful when someone isn't searching for a make or model specifically but by option or make only, for example if you're looking for any 4x4 SUV but you know you don't want a Jeep product you can exclude that make.
or searching for any toyota suv except for the CH-R you could exclude it from the search.1 voteThat would be very helpful to have in the search filters. We're planning on adding multiple makes/model selection, this might be something that could be included alongside those. Keep an eye out for that feature in the future!
Cheers,
Brendan

Interior Color for AutoTempest listings
Sellers are able to offer cars directly on AutoTempest like this one https://www.autotempest.com/details/vast--1629213745690845866. The seller specified the interior color ‘Light Cashmere/Medium Cashmere’.
In the normal search, on the left hand side, I have a list of interiors colors. None of those predefined colors matches, even not ‘Beige + Not Specified’.
‘Any’ works. Not going for a predefined color but manually entering the term ‘Cashmere’ works as well. However, that does not list all cars with beige interior. ‘Cashmere + Beige’ does not list any car, the same for ‘Cashmere + Tan’ or ‘Cashmere + Not specified’. Surprisingly, just entering…
1 voteThanks for reporting. Looking into this now. While those listings are branded AutoTempest, they do come from a number of sources - basically anything that doesn't have a public website like cars.com, truecar, etc., goes under the AutoTempest brand. So it's still a matter of standardizing the info we get from them. We probably missed "Cashmere". Also though, it sounds like you uncovered a bug, since you should be able to search both a standard color and a custom one together and get results. Will get that sorted!

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…

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.

retain the sources list on refresh
When I pull up email search results and refresh the page to see the latest results of that search, the sources list randomly resets to different values, thus affecting the new search results. The selected sources do not appear to be saved with the rest of the settings in the saved search.
1 voteSo, what's happening here is, the list of sites to choose is a preference rather than part of the search. When you open the sites list and save your changes, those settings will be used for all future searches until you change it again. Except... if you saved an alert with a different set of sites than the one you're now using, and you pull up the results from that search, we will show all the sites that were saved to the alert, because otherwise you might not see the cars you were alerted on.
However, we didn't want to just override your setting, since that might not be expected. As you've pointed out though, that causes a different kind of unexpected behavior, in that next search (including if you refresh), it then reverts back to your saved site list. We will need to address that.
We'll dig into the…

Reorder saved searches

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?

Combine multiple models to make searching easier
Ford: E350 Super Duty, E-350, and possibly Econoline 350 should be combined to one search selection as different sites call them different names but they are the same vehicle.
1 voteThanks for pointing that one out. We generally do try to put cases like that all under a single ‘parent’, so they can all be searched at once. We’re in the process of doing a review of our whole model lists, which will fix this model as well as others.
In the meantime, you can work around it by choosing Ford, Any Model. Then in the Trim field, enter this:
E350 | E-350
