Pull live used-vehicle listings from carsforsale.com, one of the largest US used-car marketplaces. The actor accepts a make/model plus filters (year, price, mileage, body style), walks the result pages, and returns one structured record per vehicle ready for dealer intelligence, valuation work, fleet purchasing, or auto-marketplace research.

Every run fetches data live so you get the current state of carsforsale.com at run time. Records include the make, model, year, mileage, price, VIN, dealer name and contact, location, image gallery, body style, transmission, drivetrain, exterior/interior color, and a back-reference URL.

📋 What the Cars For Sale Scraper does

• 🔍 Make + model search. Filter by manufacturer and model.
• 🗓️ Year filter. Min and max manufacturing year.
• 💰 Price filter. Min and max price.
• 📏 Mileage filter. Max mileage.
• 🏷️ Body style filter. Sedan, SUV, truck, hatchback, etc.
• 🔗 Direct URL. Pass a carsforsale.com URL for ad-hoc scraping.

The scraper walks carsforsale.com results, fetches each vehicle's detail page, and pushes structured records to the dataset.

💡 Why it matters: carsforsale.com aggregates used-car inventory from US dealers but its UI is paginated and lacks bulk export. A live, structured pull beats manual scraping for dealer intelligence, valuation, and procurement.

📊 Data fields

Each record includes: bodyStyle, condition, cylinders, daysOnMarket, dealerAddress, dealerCity, dealerName, dealerPhone, dealerRating, dealerState, dealerZip, description, drivetrain, engineSize, exteriorColor, fuelType, imageUrl, imageUrls, interiorColor, latitude, listingId, longitude, make, mileage, model, mpgCity, mpgHighway, price, results, scrapedAt, stockNumber, title, transmission, trim, url, vin, year. These field names come straight from the actor's dataset schema, so what you see here is what lands in your dataset.
