There's a 2005 Bentley Continental GT for $29,800. Seems like a good buy. I think someone forgot a zero? http://www.cars.com/go/search/detail.jsp?tracktype=usedcc... Your app made it easy enough to find an exception like this.
There's also several cars for $299, but in the description are $2990 down...

I don't have access to OSX, it works on my Safari under Win7.
This is what I got when I tried in Safari 5.05 under Snow Leopard. Not sure if it helps since you can't test but here ya go. Also shows the errors I got in the error log console. http://img4.imageshack.us/img4/3154/screenshot20110815at134....

Downloaded 20 search results pages from cars.com. I wish I had direct access to their DB. Craigslist has a ton of car postings, but it's not structured in any way, will be very hard to parse.
Have you looked at the Vast API. http://www.vast.com/info/customapi

#37It's cool, I would use it. I'd love to be able to set a range of mileage and price, filter by model names, location, etc. etc.
