We used the PP Classifieds software for a while but changed to different software because of some features we really needed. The main feature we needed was:

Custom searchable fields (drop-down and numeric)
For a car site like ours, it is important to select some standard items. There are the regular text fields but we need standard choices like

Color (blue, black, white, silver and so on)
Body style (sedan, wagon, hatchback, convertible)
Seller type (private party / dealer)

Other fields are numeric like model year and mileage. It is important to be able to search for a car with say less than 60,000 miles. Or a model year between 2000 and 2005. A good example is a site like Search Cars Online - Find Cars with Advanced Search - Cars.com

This will be helpful for all automotive and motorcycle sites but I imagine it can be beneficial for any other type of site.
