Posting are only picked up once (when its listed). there really isnt a good way for our software to pick up sold listings.

I would say any posting older than a month has a good chance of being gone (maybe sooner for really good deals or in demand cars). There is an option to report a listing as sold (crowdsourced in a way) but right now our software cant automatically update for that.

that said, we thought it would be beneficial for people to have access to historical listings, to help with price comps, etc

We are not using any API's - we built a custom scraper for every forum.
Wow!!! Nice! You could probably use that algorithm for other types of products; great work!
