Online marketplace for selling vehicles to car dealers
This online marketplace connects private vehicle sellers with professional used car dealers in a simple and efficient way. Sellers enter their vehicle details and upload photos, while registered dealers can view suitable listings and submit purchase offers. The seller then chooses which offer to accept.
Use of the platform is free for private sellers. The monetization model is based on paid contact unlocks for dealers.

Current status
The platform is live and has already been tested with real users. More than 40 dealers have registered, and the first vehicle inquiries from private sellers have been received. The current regional focus is North Rhine-Westphalia.
No revenue has been generated so far. Advertising is currently paused. As a result, economically sustainable operation has not yet been demonstrated.
Scope of sale and price
The sale includes the developed platform, including source code, domain, and design.
The asking price of €6,900, negotiable, is primarily based on the technical feature set, the interfaces already integrated, and the publicly available product status. A buyer acquires an existing foundation and can focus on marketing, user acquisition, and further development of the business model.
The price is not based on existing profits or guaranteed future income. The platform is particularly suitable for buyers with access to car dealers or experience in acquiring vehicle sellers.
