New way to search for used cars (my weekend project)
Each dot on the chart is a car. Horizontal scale = mileage. Vertical scale = price. The size of a dot = year (newer = larger), plus I colored 2007 .. 2011 in different colors to find "fresh" cars quicker. This is just some sample data from the last 24 hours, relatively cheap cars under $32,000 within 500 mile radius of NYC.
New way to search for used cars (my weekend project) launched on August 15, 2011 with 160 votes, #7 of 248 launches that month and more than 95% of that year's launches. The site was still online in September 2026, 15 years on.
In plain words
This tool visualizes used car listings as an interactive scatter plot where each dot represents a vehicle. The horizontal axis shows mileage, the vertical axis displays price, and dot size indicates the car's age, with vehicles from 2007-2011 highlighted in distinct colors for easy identification. Designed for budget-conscious buyers in the NYC area, it displays cars under $32,000 from the past 24 hours, allowing users to quickly spot newer vehicles with lower mileage at various price points.

Carvia2025 · carvia.ai · ▲9Buying a used car in the US usually means paying $40+ for a Carfax or AutoCheck report — or worse, falling into “free VIN check” sites that upsell hidden subscriptions. We thought that was broken. So we built Carvia: $9.99 per report – no subscriptions, no hidden fees. Comprehensive data – accidents, ownership, mileage, recalls, title issues, theft, etc. AI-powered insights – we generate a simple Carvia Score (1–5), depreciation curves, risk flags, and cost-of-ownership guidance.

I've been a longtime member @ HN, but I haven't been a developer. In fact, my only HN submission has been one asking how to learn to code (http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=820741). My cofounder and I decided to solve the problem by making a simple, interactive way to get started with Codecademy. We'd love your feedback. If you're interested in helping us to get more courses up (on any topic!), please send us an email at [email protected].
