❓ FAQ

How does the scraper find vehicles? It connects to CarsForSale.com's search system and collects listing data based on your filters. You can also provide a direct URL to any search results page.

What does "price difference" mean? The priceDifference field shows how a vehicle's price compares to the market average for similar vehicles. A negative value means the listing is priced below average.

Can I search without specifying a make? Yes. Leave the make field empty to search across all manufacturers. You can still filter by price, year, mileage, and location.
