Just playing on mobile, 1991 seems to be the first year that produces results using your criteria - even if you put the start date back to 1900!

Perhaps there aren't any used cars in Auckland older than 1990?

Under "New & Used", either untick "used" or click "classic".

Are you meant to choose Classic?

Something is always weird with trademe searches. Search for ESP32 and I get a single listing even though every other field is not set ie. from anywhere

Their search has been just about totally broken for 2 or 3 years. You can do the same search on the website and mobile app and get different results, so give that a go. There's multiple different search boxes on some pages, and a multiple pages that do nearly the same thing.

From here I put in 1970-80, Auckland, petrol and got the following results URL: https://www.trademe.co.nz/a/motors/cars/search?year_max=1980&year_min=1970&user_region=2&fuel_type=petrol

Try that.

Not quite the same - you've got "new and used" set to "all". Thus it is picking up what @Swamphen pointed out - everything older than 1991 is a "classic" according to trademe.
