Import Vehicle Viability Bot Design

Job ID: 38726625

Budget: €750 – €1,500 EUR

I need a Windows-compatible bot to help assess the feasibility of importing vehicles from the UK to Ireland. The bot's key tasks include:

- Scraping data from Autotrader UK: The bot should gather comprehensive information about vehicles listed on this site.
- Comparing with Carzone Ireland: The bot should then cross-reference these vehicles with their counterparts on Carzone Ireland, a key Irish used car marketplace.

The bot will need to:

- Calculate price differences: After adjusting for the exchange rate, the bot should compute the price differential between similar vehicles in both countries.
- Determine taxes and duties: The vehicle registration tax (VRT) and customs duty on importation should also be calculated. To find the VRT figure, the bot will need to access the vehicle's Stat Code.

The end goal is to run this bot daily in order to identify potential buying opportunities.

Ideal skills for this project include experience in web scraping, knowledge of Python or similar programming languages, and an understanding of vehicle importation processes and associated taxes.

Include a user interface to display the results. The bot should also filter vehicles based on criteria such as make, model, year, mileage, and price range. The bot should provide in-app notifications for potential buys. The bot should have a graphical user interface for ease of use. Notifications will be in-app and also sent via email or SMS. The user interface should display detailed vehicle information, including vehicle history, condition reports, and seller's contact details. The bot will update data daily to provide regular updates on vehicle listings and price comparisons. The bot should provide basic vehicle history including mileage, accident reports, and service records.
