I built a private car sales search engine

[Mpoitrast87]

Basically a kayak.com for cars. I dig it.

Nice job. I found a 1963 Split Window Corvette with 8K advertised miles which caught my interest. Clicked on it but got an error. Maybe the sale page was deleted, or maybe I have to have a forum account to view it? Here's the link.

Thanks for flagging. It must have been removed/deleted on the forums. :/

I figure that's likely what happened. I saw the 8K odometer thing and I'm like, whoa! I've got to check this one out.

How do you decide which private sites to add? I tried to do a super broad search on a manufacturer and it returned nothing.

Trying to have comprehensive coverage of all road car forums classifieds (no trucks or racecars yet - cept the ones that are posted on roadcar forums).

what were you searching for? happy to add any additional sources/forums/makes/models you have in mind.

I have shared this on a couple other forums and to techs at work who are always looking for cars. Everyone says what OP did was awesome and thanks them very much for all the work.

I was doing a search for 2011-2013 BMWs in all of the US and it returned nothing.

Sounds like a built-in safety net. You should thank the OP.

remove the "US" - thats actually manufacturer region. BMW would be EU.

Most of the cars are in the US

Wow that is super cool!
Tried searching Vipers and got ads from VOA and similar.
Great job sir!

hey so you might be getting too specific with keywords - i.e. trying to get "mustang", "pa" and "ford" in the results.

if you just search "ford" and "pa" - should get you some results

thanks! vipers forums/classifieds are very hard to find or have low volume.

I am always looking for a blue white strip gen 3 GTS but difficult to find :/

Trying to find a 2010-2014 Raptor and only 2 results.

Well... There is one for sale in Sweden.
And generally speaking the Vipers in Sweden are cheaper than the ones the US

I imagine older cars (like classics) are included in here as well, I noticed Mercury doesn't exist which and when I tried to look up Marauder, no hits. Didn't try Cougar but old cougars are something worth searching.
