Default Duck Duck Jeep - Used Jeep Website

Hey Everyone,



I am a passionate jeep owner and recently got my masters in IT. As a side project, I created a tool for jeep owners to search only jeeps for sale.

Duck Duck Jeep

The service is up and running now and any feedback I can get on the how it works from some actual jeep enthusiasts would be great!

It would appear to be stateside only..........correct?

As didn't recognise UK postcode.

Seems a good idea though if it incorporates multi selling sites.

SearchTempest.com and AutoTempest.com will search internationally. AutoTempest also searches eBay and CarsDirect in addition to Craigslist, Cars.com and AutoTrader. It also has more search parameters and is not limited to 200 miles from your location.

OP, I appreciate what you're trying to do, but someone else already beat you to it. You need to find a different angle that isn't covered by AutoTempest or SearchTempest.

nope it also searches cars.com & autotrader...
this data is still populating so it is just showing less frequently in the results right now...

once it catches up in about a day the results will be completely mixed~!

It boggles my mind how many people list GCs as Cherokees. So they bought these trucks and had no idea what they were driving all these years?

Whenever I'm searching on CL or SearchTempest, I always search "cherokee -grand" to subtract out the ones that listed it correctly. And still I get loads of listings for Grand Cherokees from idjits.
