Tuesday, February 10th, 2009

iSeeCars.com, the leading Web 2.0 car search engine providing the best unbiased experience for consumers to search pre-owned cars for sale quickly, easily and smartly, reports the top used car searches for 2008. iSeeCars.com currently enables users to search over 2 million cars for sale across more than 10,000 different
car websites.

The top 10 searched used cars by make on iSeeCars.com for 2008 were:

1. Honda
2. Toyota
3. Ford
4. Chevrolet
5. Nissan
6. BMW
7. Volkswagan
8. Lexus
9. Mercedes
10. Dodge

The most searched for pre-owned car by manufacturer was Honda; Ford was the most searched for American car manufacturer. In the luxury car segment, BMW had the most searches.

The top 10 searched used vehicles by make and model for 2008 were:

1. Honda Civic

The most searched for pre-owned auto was Honda Civic. Japanese cars from Honda and Toyota occupied all top 5 car searches. The truck with the greatest number of user searches was Toyota Tacoma followed by
Ford F-150.

Consumers on iSeeCars.com also took advantage of other unique features on the website to more easily find quality used cars at great deals.  Car buyers searched cars for sale by owner 6 times more than they did
those for sale by dealer.  There was also a high frequency of searches by users for “moving sale” listings to find bargains — with the idea that cars for sale by private sellers who are moving could potentially
be had for lower prices since the sellers are under a time constraint.

The variety and the amount of search activities performed by users on iSeeCars.com in 2008 definitively shows that iSeeCars.com is addressing a huge need for consumers for an unbiased integrated search
experience focused on helping the car buyers. Evidence that iSeeCars.com is providing a key service for car buyers is the vast number of positive feedback sent in by users about the usefulness and ease of use of the website.

In 2009, we look forward to improving iSeeCars.com and providing additional features to make the website an even better experience for car consumers. Visit iSeeCars.com to search for a car.
