I used to use search tempest but poomwah showed me Craiglook. I like it better. Easier to compare price, condition, miles etc.

Heard Craiglook was taken down by request of the almighty.  It is now found at http://claz.org/ (http://claz.org/)

Craiglook was shut down because of Craig's List.  It was a legal thing because of the similarity of the names.
