Challenge
Determining an accurate used-car price required days of manually searching, comparing and copying vehicle data from multiple listing sites.
Approach
A Node.js scraper collects vehicle and pricing information from existing used-car platforms. The Angular web app links comparable listings to the Garage Devisch vehicle and calculates minimum, maximum and average market prices. MySQL stores the collected data.
Outcome
Garage Devisch can determine an evidence-based market value for a used car in seconds instead of spending several days on manual research.
