How do you get the car data? I see you have data from cars.com do you have custom code that scrapes the data or do you use some known tools?

Thanks

They used to get it from Craigslist. The listings were directly linked to Craigslist listings. I see that they don't do click-outs any more so I'm curious as to where they are getting them from too. By the way, I had done the same thing about 2 years ago but had to stop after realizing that scraping Craiglist was against their terms of use.
