We are planning on updating the classifieds on AcuraZine

The intent of this is to help make the classifieds easier for you to find parts/vehicles.
We will maintain the forums as they are currently, however you will find two search boxes that will appear next to the threads.
One for searching for Cars, the other for searching for parts.


How will this affect using the classifieds for you?
Not at all – all existing classified rules will not change (and we ask that you still adhere to them!), it is just that hopefully we can help you find (or sell) the part/car you are looking for in a much easier fashion.
The forum layout, or existing forums that exist for classifieds should not change either.

Will these searching options be available for existing classified threads?
No. All existing classifieds will exist and be searchable as they are today. All newly created classifieds will be searchable via this format.

Feedback?
You are welcome to provide feedback in this thread on the classifieds so we can make changes to its configuration.
We appreciate all feedback, and we will try to incorporate as much of it as we can into future development and respond to your requests.

Searching for vehicles
When searching for a vehicle, we will scour the following mediums to find the vehicle you are looking for.

1. Threads on the site
2. Local dealerships
3. eBay

You will have the option to search for

• Year
• Make
• Model
• Price
• Mileage
• Location (State/Province)
• Color
• Transmission
• Drivetrain
• Color
• Engine

This should enable you to find the exact vehicle you are looking for much quicker. You can also still use our standard search option after filtering too.
(We will attempt to narrow down options from local dealerships and eBay as best we can using these items too)


Searching for parts
In addition to searching this site, we will search eBay as well to try to find parts for you.
You will be able to filter for the following:

• Category (engine part etc.)
• Price:
• Location (State):
• Item Condition: (New/Used)
• Shipping Information: (Can it be shipped?)
• Engine: (What type of engine does it fit?)
• Part fits: (What type of vehicle does it fit?)

Want to share a set of results?
You can copy the URL of the results and this will only show vehicles with the limitations you have been searching for - manual transmission, in white that are newer than 2004 for example


When are you planning on doing this?
Stage one this week, then after a month, we switch them on fully.

Hopefully you will find this helpful using AcuraZine, we think it should help!

cheers,

awwwww, I thought you would be separating the black market into sections for different models of cars
ie: tl, tsx, rl, etc.

Its as easy as typing your car type into the search engine. Parts for your specific vehicle should come up.
I THINK ITS A GREAT IDEA!

Cool, this is a welcomed update.

elliott44k

well often times people don't post what car their parts are for or they mention several cars because the parts are "universal" so please, I'm an experienced forum user, not a retard, but this would clean up the listings

PLEASE make sure there it EXPLICITLY says the location of the item being sold.

For international buyers like myself from canada. We need to others to know where we are located so they are more inclined to buy locally.

for example:

I wanted to sell my strut bar and it's too much to ship to make it worth selling in the US.

IF i could have my item listed as Canadian sale only.

Maybe i'd get more locals to see the offer.


this would help everyone I think though.
