Do you feel confident this is pulling every C4 listed off of facebook? I love autotempest, but there are a ton of C4's on facebook, and facebook limits search area, which is awful. If your site is truly, confidently, getting every C4 nationwide off of facebook...that's gdamn huge.

some feedback
If you want even more Corvettes to peruse I made a site that aggregates lots of sites including Facebook which seems to be where a lot of people are posting their cars for sale now. You might find it useful. I have been thinking of getting a C4 Corvette (among other vehicles - I have a problem) and so that's why I made the site.
https://cultcars.us/listing/1984-1996%20corvette
...of course it works for lots of other years and models too! Please give feedback so I can make it better.

Hey all - thanks for still using https://cultcars.us ! We are seeing about 7000 new Corvette listings a week right now across the major sites - including Facebook Marketplace.
I made a video about finding Corvettes for sale and where the most listings are based upon the year. If you're bored, check it out:

Finalist 2020 C4 of the Year - Unmodified
C4 of Year Finalist (stock) 2019
I've got this site bookmarked. It does a nice job of pulling up cars from quite a few venues. One thing I noticed though, is on some occasions, the asking or listed price of the car on the results page of your website does not actually match the asking price of the car. Here are three examples from two different searches. The search arguments I used was "1989 Lesabre" and the search area is "everywhere", and "1966 Chevelle", search area "everywhere". Note the 1st car from OR shows a price of $500, yet when you open the link to the car you see the price is actually $1250. Same for the 2nd car in AZ: Shows a price $7900, yet when you open the link you see the price was actually $900. Found the same result from a 1966 Chevelle in TX. The results page showed $2100, but the car is actually listed for $12,000. Again, listed on FB.
Not that this is a deal breaker by any means, it's not. I really like the scope of the search of your tool.
It's just that I have noticed this quite a few times, and I believe the anomaly is limited to cars pulled in from FB. Maybe something to look into?
Thanks for providing this cool tool!!

I found the last c4 I bought using this site. A torch red 95 6sp with 95k miles for $7k. This site is legit. It does have some idiosyncrasies but it does a damn good job of aggregating some good results. The price thing is broken, but it wasn't always that way. It just recently started doing that.

Prices are currently iffy for Marketplace and I am working on a fix... but I am wondering if it's better to have some of them right and some wrong, or don't show them at all?

You’ve done a magnificent job with this site. I have it bookmarked and check it every day. I regularly check FB marketplace, AutoTrader, Cars.com, and eBay...but I found my most recent corvette through cultcars! Great work!
In regard to prices being posted, I think it’s nice to have. It helps me gauge my interest in each car by comparing photos with prices. If it looks like a good deal, I click through - alternatively, if it looks like a stupid money being asked for a car, I might click through to see why.
