Nice UI. Glad to see it improving. A few suggestions: - You should be able to edit all the parameters you set when you created a search (e.g., radius) - A keyword filter would be nice, otherwise I have to look at each car to see if it has the package I want - There are freshness problems: many of the cars I clicked on were already sold or links to nonexistent listings

Keyword search is our number one priority right now. We wanted to have it ready for this re-launch but unfortunately things didn't work out that way.

Nice! You guys are definitely heading the right direction in terms of information architecture, UX and UI. I would like to see a overall price distribution reference with the results (i.e. of the total returned results, n fell within range a, n fell within range b, etc.) The ability to sort by price would be nice too. Good job and keep iterating.

I know exactly what Hipmunk is, but I have no idea what "Hipmunk for cars" is.

I don't know why you were downvoted for expressing this thought. I had the same one.

Car was totalled today, and lo and behold a current HN headline has the exact tool I never knew I needed.

Weird how often that happens.

Thanks, guys. Excited to be a customer.

I've done three searches now and have noticed that when I click "see listing" most of the links are invalid. Filtering to 100 miles in distance still returns results that are significantly more than 100 miles away (results from IL when using a CA zip code).

It's interesting for a new site but not that useful for searching for vehicles yet as it probably needs more filters. For example, searching for a Ford F-150 returns a lot of results but someone buying an F-150 is probably going to have a specific subset in mind. Getting a ton of two wheel drive, standard cab with bench seat models when you want four wheel drive, king cab with bucket seats is going to be very frustrating.
