    Hi,
    i'm searching for a good joomla Car classifieds plugin free or paid with several options needed:
    - users can submit their cars for selling from the front-end
    - ready included cars and models and option to add more
    - multilingual (or easy way to be translated for non-english site)

    any ideas ?

    There's also RD-Autos Pro, which has some good reviews:
    http://extensions.joomla.org/extensions/vertical-markets/vehicles/6357

    You can see all current options here:
    http://extensions.joomla.org/extensions/vertical-markets/vehicles

    Your requirement is very specific, so it's difficult to find any ready made solutions for you beyond the commercial ones.

    If none of these works for you, you're going to have to do some customizations. For example, you could get SOBI2, which supports drop-down lists, but you'll have to tweak the code base a little to do what you need. But, at least SOBI2 and its various modules and such are free.

    UPDATE: Here is someone selling a copy of a vehicle db for a very reasonable price (€5):
    http://www.llorban.com/cardb/

    Or, you can get it for free from the US National Highway Traffic Safety Administration website (you'll have to format the data yourself, though):
    http://www-nrd.nhtsa.dot.gov/database/aspx/vehdb/veh_catalog_by_mmy.aspx

    The trick will be to map year to vehicle model (as some models weren't available at certain years), but that will just take a bit of coding.

    Hope this helps.

    Are you asking whether Joomla has a general classifieds extension?

    You could use the Ads Manager extension, or take SOBI2 which has at its core classifieds capabilities (though it is listed as a directory extension).
