Why is iSeeCars Different?
In the first blog post, we described that iSeeCars is a search engine for cars for sale or used car classified listings and talked a little bit about why it offers a unique value proposition. In this post, we’d like to elaborate upon some of the unique differentiation.
- iSeeCars searches thousands of car websites across the Internet all at once so you don’t have to (and we’re continually crawling new ones)
- The car listings results are automatically sorted by “deal potential” according to the extent a certain car might be a potential deal based on a variety of factors such as market price comparison and what we can gather from the listing description regarding things like whether it has a warranty, # of owners the car has had, is it a non-smoker’s car, car history, and other factors (While being able to search and see a lot of listings is great, sometimes too many search results may be overwhelming so we thought it would also be helpful to rank the search results similar to the idea of Google ranking)
- Users can get a quick snapshot summary of a car listing using “Listing Insight” which summarizes in a structured format the key information found in the listing description such as warranty, car history, ownership, etc (the idea was save users time by not having to drill down into the listing description for every listing)
- Users can compare the car listings and sort/filter by key features like moving sale, etc (going under the assumption users like to shop for deals, we created a special filter to look for car listings where sellers are moving)
- Users can also compare prices across similar cars for each listing so you can see if there is a better deal (so if you’re looking at a 2006 Honda Accord EX listing with 20K miles and asking price of $18K, you probably would also be curious to know if there are other cars with same make, model, year and similar mileage and how much they’re going for so you can see if there’s a better deal from another seller)
- As you can see, iSeeCars does a lot of the work for you so you don’t have to. what’s even better is that it’s free to use.
These are some of the examples. We have other ideas that we look to implement to help users even more in their search for a car.

A Smarter Car Search Engine
When searching for a pre-owned or used car for sale on the Web:
- ever find yourself spending a lot of time going from website to website such as Craigslist, Cars.com, or dealership sites in search of the perfect car for a reasonable price?
- ever find yourself feeling a bit overwhelmed with the flood of car listings?
- ever find yourself wondering what exactly to look for in a car listing and spending too much time reading each classified that catches your eye?
Well, we had been through all that before, multiple times (we don’t like buying new cars because of the depreciating factor). We thought wouldn’t it be great if there were a Google for cars for sale that lets you search for all used cars across the Web, across all websites containing car listings like local newspaper, dealership, auction, and classified websites. If we were feeling the pain, we thought perhaps a good percentage of the 40+ million car buyers a year was as well.
So, being the PhD’s and programmers that we were, we decided to build a smarter search engine for used cars — a website that focuses first and foremost on making the search process easier and quicker for the car buyer. The “smarter” part reflects one of our goals to help users get smarter about the search by providing relevant analysis, information, and guidance. iSeeCars.com is in its first version; it only covers the Boston and New York areas at this point but we will be launching in other cities and regions soon.
This revolutionary new way to search for a used car online was conceived and developed by experienced PhD’s, coders and former entrepreneurs hailing from such renowned universities as Harvard, IIT, Peking University (the top university in China), and Princeton.
We continually make improvements and changes to the site to make it better for users. So, if you have any suggestions or thoughts, we would love to hear from you. We strive to make iSeeCars the best search engine for you, the car buyers.
