I agree with everything fugoki said, but here are some more observations:
* Can't middle-click results to open in new tab (Chrome / Windows XP...if I remember I'll check it out on my laptop (Linux) when I can).
* Dropdown for "Show 10/20.../All Entries" should look the same as the dropdown for make and model.
* The only clue that it was UK-only was the use of PS, not USD. I could imagine people not noticing that, and being confused about the results (it took my American postal code with no problem...)
* The dude in the logo has too much...jowls, or something. Maybe I'm crazy.
* I predict problems with owning carspy.co and not carspy.com.
* That's a slick slider you have to select the price/age/distance. Nice.
Thanks for the comments. I was aware of most of the issues posted; its what I hoped was a minimum viable product.
The results links open with a js popup - would a regular link be better? just my concern is you'd navigate away from the search results if you left-clicked.
As for the .co - I can't afford a nice short .com right now, just need some funding to buy the .com!

• I can't select "Any" for the manufacturer so doing a simple search based on price isn't possible.
• Having to specify the model is similarly restrictive.
• Clicking through on the popular search links doesn't return a results page but instead pre-filled inputs? WTF?
• Search is chronically slow…
• Logo & tyre/spyglass @ bottom are inconsistent in style.
Good luck with it!
