Awesome... you bought the perfect car.

Does anyone have a good suggestion for used car search sites. My GS was stolen last week and I am in the market for a car again. I live in Los Angeles, but am open to buying remotely if I have to to find the right car.

Autotempest.com is good too. It pulls in all the listings from other sites, including Craigslist.

It's what I was going to say, I would start there first, you get listings from most of the other sites and all in one sortable list...

it's where I found my car...

Do you prefer the color or options of one over the other?

Wow! I didn’t know Enform was being discontinued, including remote start - yikes. I actually use the remote start app and the remote start key fob. Bummer.

What?! Why would they stop supporting the telemetrics? They get revenue from it.

It has to do with changes to the cell system they use. The old Enform is a 3G application and they are going to 4G for their system, which will leave older cars unsupported.
