Some of us use third party sites like searchtempest to search nationwide for pcars and parts. Recently, craigslist added "search nearby areas" which let you select some towns. Now, it appears they are rolling out a "miles from zip code" function which should be a great addition.
Tempest has its own issues. Can't limit by mileage and some other options.
Didn't work properly for me either when searching for parts.
If they get it right, it should be the best tool.
