Part of the problem with this is that nearly all of the best deals I've found on Craigslist (mostly camera lenses) were because the person actually misspelled the one key word in the title, which lead me to be the only person (or one of very few) who noticed the listing. So I do hope that "Mazda Miata" also looks for listings without the word "Mazda" and also looks for the misspelled "Maita", etc, as well
It is missing a model :(
pretty good, although for craigslist, there is really no sense in letting someone search within 14 days. anything that's a good deal is gone almost right away I lost out on like a dozen cars before I bought my last one. And that was only because I saw the ad get listed in the previous 5 minutes, and went right away to test drive it. As far as feedback, 1 bug - when you scroll through the makes, it keeps hiding.

Also with the 14 days thing - we're trying to build something that can crawl dealership websites as well, and are hoping to have this going nationally sometime soon. The entire idea is that Autotrader sucks and basically raises the prices for everyone while presenting a shitty interface - for things as large and expensive as cars I think the internet could literally track all instances available, allowing a rational decision process behind purchasing sans prioritization of pre-existing distribution channels or advertising budgets
Also will fix the make thing. Thanks!!!
After a quick review, two things that strike me:
1. One feature I like about AT is being about to see which cars are in which markets. Even though the search radius may include 5 surrounding cities, it would be nice to see some physical separation between the markets when combing through the results.
2. One feature I DIDN'T like about AT is that in trying to accomplish [1] from above, I often found myself annoyed when nothing was found in specific markets. This resulted in me having to click through the pagination to see if anything existed in other markets. The better way to handle this would have been to show only those cities with results, in order.
Good work so far!

Yeah, this is totally true. I think we'll be adding a notification system with saved searches soon, but we wanted to see if anyone liked the idea at all first.
