1) Classifieds System with paypal integration
2) Articles System
3) Reviews System

Each area has an entirely different template and also have a whole raft of sub sections each of which have their own custom fields and searches.

Out of the box GARS had 95% of what I wanted to do, the remainder was just template changes and configuration. I have not needed to touch any of the code base at all, every single time I have thought "it would be cool if I could do......" I have then discovered that GARS could do it and typically better than my original idea.
