The Auto Search game

[Prius]

ok, I came up with this an hour ago.

it is a game, where a person makes a request of what car he's looking for like this.

it is recommended that you use some of these critiras when stating your request.

recommended, but not nessessary to use some of these.
make
model
year range
color
options (leather, alarm etc.)
price range
style
trim (recommended if asking for a certain model of car)

and then other members go here (http://pages.ebay.com/catindex/passengervehicles.html) and look for a car to fit the persons requests, and post the url to it's auction. when the requester sees a car he likes, he quotes the post it is posted and post that he likes it best. when he does that the person who posted the car he likes best will then post a request and it goes on like that.

here's an example of how a request should be posted

I want a....
Sedan, leather, made between 1991 and 1995.

you can post a special make and or model if oyu want, and state the condition you want it in if you want to.

If you can't find a car that matches a person's request, you can try Autotrader, and if you can't find it there, then another person will post a request.

i'll start off.

i want a Lincoln Town Car Ultimate L in the newest model year possible, In drivable condition.

EDIT: oh yeah, it's just a game, this not to find a car if you are buying one. and the cars we request we are not going to accually buy IT'S A GAME, like when I said i'm loooking for a Lincoln town car, i'm not going to buy a TC, this just a fun game.

EDIT: change of rules, you can use eBay, Autotrader, or anything on the internet to find a car that fits the request, the only restriction is that IT HAS TO BE FOR SALE.

a town car would sure beat all your cars you own :p

A Hyundai Accent will beat the Caravan :p

Town Car Ultimate L (http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/2004-LINCOLN-TOWN-CAR-ULTIMATE-L_W0QQitemZ4568438988QQcategoryZ31851QQssPageNameZ WDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem)

Good enough? :p

[Prius]

good enough, Pangerc, you're up!

[VtecMini]

Hang on. Doesn't a game by it's very definition require that more than one entry is required before a winner is selected?

Otherwise, isn't this just going to be a daisy chain (a short one I suspect) of ebay searches?

[Prius]

yeah, it does need more, but there is one Lincoln TC ultimate L on eBay, because my request was a way to sample epople about a game, when the next people
come in with requests, there will be a competetion of who can find the best car.

[VtecMini]

It's too limited. Whatever you or anybody else suggests is going to end up as an invariable ebay search string, which in turn will just end up looking like a list of samey results. I suggest a wider base for search; the whole internet. Meaning folks can use their own sources and websites, so you'll end up with a better variety.

[Prius]

good idea.

[P3RG4R3C]

OK, wait a sec.......

Porsche 996 911 GT2, 2003, for less than $65000.

Good luck. And there are none GT2's on eBay that fit in (I think), so you have look some place other.

[Prius]

ok, here is a 2002, but with this one, you'll get a nice bonus! :D

For Karrmanns 10,000 and under, I converted into NZ dollars, and found this nice 1971 911 Targa..

Also saw a concourse condition Reliant Scimitar for 10,000 US aswell.

[Sauc3]

Seeing as noone else is asking for something...

I would like a 1941 Willys Convertible, between $240,000 and $260,000US. Good luck!

[Prius]

ok, I can do that!
it's a 1941 coupe, but if you see it, I think that it will make up for it.

[Sauc3]

It's a nice one, but not the specific one I'm looking for.

I'll give you a bit more info,

This is a one-off ultra class custom show & go car. Professional quality throughout. Built and owned by Bruce Harvey.
Also, this car is not for sale on eBay, but rather on a different prestigeous item site. This car IS for sale, and one, albeit outside my price range, isn't one that I'd mind having :D.

[Prius]

hmmm, I want a car that would be a MAJOR step up from the shtiiy Caravan LEMON but it still has enough room for 4 people, for under $3,000.

You haven't found the car I asked for? Instead of having something that's very easy to come by on eBay, thus making the game far too simple, I requested something which was no available on eBay. All the examples so far have been of something which was able to be found within 10 minutes of just looking for a car which stood out, or started at $.01. I can do the same with your request, just find an old BMW 5/7 series which hasn't reached it's reserve and just post that.
I'm looking for a challenge, and since noone else has put on up I thought I'd put my own up. Anyone able to find it.
