Ebay Question
I just looked up "Subaru 360" on ebay and see there are 38 pages of stuff that won't fit the car: disc brake calipers, 15" hubcaps, 16 pc seat cover sets. etc. Does anyone know if there's a way to actually access parts for the 360 without scrolling through 38 pages of bullshit?

Re: Ebay Question
3 things you need to do first. 1-click on 200 items per page 2-click on gallery view 3-place quotes on "subaru 360"rogerbhp wrote:I just looked up "Subaru 360" on ebay and see there are 38 pages of stuff that won't fit the car: disc brake calipers, 15" hubcaps, 16 pc seat cover sets. etc. Does anyone know if there's a way to actually access parts for the 360 without scrolling through 38 pages of bullshit?
Then I usually search as ["subaru 360" -cover -universal]
the [-cover] takes out all the car cover items [-universal] takes out universal parts
I went from 1,774 items to only 32

Re: Ebay Question
Wow. That's awesome. I didn't know you could filter like that. I've been looking on Ebay for a few days too. I wonder how many of the 15" plastic hubcaps for the Subaru 360 get sold. Or radiators, etc...

Re: Ebay Question
I'll have to try that method - my filter went something like this:
-Legacy -Forester -Liberty -LED -WRX -Impreza -cover -Tomica -Ebbro -Arri -Hasegawa (etc., etc..)
You'd leave the last four in if you are after models, but methinks G.D's filter is a much better option..... thanks!
Cheers,
Ian

Re: Ebay Question
Don't forget to narrow it down too
go to "ebay motors" and then "auto parts and accessories"

Re: Ebay Question
I think that most Subaru 360 owners can recognize parts that are not meant on the car, despite what an ad may say. I think those ads are sort of "ebay spam" - they use the same ad over and over and just substitute the make and model of the car, without considering appropriateness.imp_biz_kit wrote:I wonder how many of the 15" plastic hubcaps for the Subaru 360 get sold.

Re: Ebay Question
Ha, yeah, I assumed that a 360 owner wouldn't buy something that wasn't for their car (like a radiator). I just wonder how they can afford to put up ads for pruducts that don't actually exist.

Re: Ebay Question
Unfortunately the way it works is that the seller, when filling out the listing form, is presented with options as soon as they choose the category "Parts & Accessories". The seller then clicks off all of the models that their part "fits".
So - they of course click every car ever made, including Subaru 360.
It's an issue of lazy sellers.

I've considerd getting a thermostat (fits Subaru 360) to hang from my rearview mirror.
Re: Ebay Question
Not a good idea! Roger said Toons ran alot faster without the fuzzy dice hanging on the mirror,was the extra weight he guessedwv360 wrote:I've considerd getting a thermostat (fits Subaru 360) to hang from my rearview mirror.
