How are the horsepower and torque figures determined?
Horsepower (HP) and Torque (TQ) figures may be accurate or an estimate. They can be engine HP/TQ, brake HQ/TQ, wheel HP/TQ, or other. The most accurate way a seller can find these figures is to put their cars on a dynamometer or similar machine. Estimates of HP and TQ can be determined by accounting all performance modifications or by doing research online for factory figures. Sellers are encouraged to be truthful and be accurate; if possible, when selecting horsepower and torque figures for the car(s) they are listing for sale.
How are weight figures determined?
This figure could be accurate or an estimate. This figure is an overall weight of the car with or without the driver. There are various methods sellers can use to accurately determine the weight of their car such as going to a facility with a vehicle scale. The seller can also make estimates by deducting/adding the weight of parts removed/added, or by doing research online for factory weight figures. Sellers are encouraged to be truthful and be accurate; if possible, when selecting the weight figure for the car(s) they are listing for sale.
What is Skin search filter?
Use the Skin car filter to find a car by the medium used to apply the car’s color whether it be Spray Paint, Dip, Wrap, or other.
Why are there no search results?
If your search ends up with little or no results, this may be due to there being no cars for sale in the specific zip-code radius or no cars falling under the selected search filters. Try increasing the search radius or adjusting search filters.
