Horizontal scale = mileage.
Vertical scale = price.
The size of a dot = year (newer = larger), plus I colored 2007 .. 2011 in different colors to find "fresh" cars quicker.
This is just some sample data from the last 24 hours, relatively cheap cars under $32,000 within 500 mile radius of NYC.

Four things:
1. I don't see a way to change my location. Without that, the tool is essentially useless to anyone but you.
2. It's not obvious what the colors or sizes of the dots represent.
3. Have you considered superimposing Kelly Blue Book info? That could add some interesting trend lines.
4. A blog post analyzing how well different brands retain their value could be a great way to drive traffic. I imagine their might actually be some money in adwords around used cars.

Would also be useful to change location.
Also to drill down by model / year. etc.
But for a week-end project, congrats.
Nice idea! The picture is already almost unusable while you have something like 3300 cars featured. Do you have any thought on how to deal with that problem?

A front door of a site like this could have a screen cap, filter and then some quick-to-click pre-filters (Toyota SUVs made after 2005, or station wagons under $8k, etc).
