I want a certain make and model within a range of years, and I get

I also want the car to be of a certain color but even though I know
there are two cars listed now of that color adding the color just gave
little trim accessories. Is there any way to search on cars of a
particular color if the seller didn't mention color in the title, which
they seem never to do?


(even though another search word is convertible, which I thought would
limit the search to complete cars, there are 1000's of parts that fit
convertibles, so it didn't help.)

At the top left eBay usually has categories that you can select after doing the search to refine the search to only that category.

I looked at those and the only one that helped was Used. I guess I
could have tried price, but one of the cars I was insterested in started
at $200. It went for almost 2000. and Iwoudl have gone to 5000 or more
so that leaves a pretty big price range.

You can also use a filter which is on the search results page too select only cars and trucks, not parts.

I looked at filtering and didn't see that, but as my reply to Clare
shows, I didn't see a lot of what I looked at. Maybe it was there.


That works for some things. But what they should have is a check box on every item where the seller can check off that it's a complete item. I've had your problem with many things too, where you want a complete item, say Bose headphones and you get search results that includes everything from empty boxes, to manuals, to pieces. That I don't know of a way to fix. But you can separate cars from car parts, because they have separate categories.

I think on some occasioms you might have found Retired's page and I
don't know why I didnt.
