So,
I'm developing what's essentially a companion tool for autotrader (and possibly other sites) and just wondered if I could gauge some opinion from my fellow petrol-heads.
I'm assuming I'm not the only one here who has, at some point, spent hours looking on the sales websites looking for various cars. In particular, finding the perfect car for a scenario - "what's the cheapest car that has a 0-60 time of under 8 seconds, fetches over 40mpg, and has 5-doors" etc...
Doing this either with a view to buying a car, or just playing around with insurance quotes before buying a car, or just completely dreaming!
If there was a way to customise these searches even more would you be interested? And interested enough to pay either a one-off fee (say, £5 for 4 weeks), or a rolling subscription (say, £1.99 a month).
This would include more refinements of the existing search attributes; for example instead of the 0-60 time being in bands of 0-5, 0-8, 8-12, 12+, you'd be able to type in your own integer. Or for models, instead of choosing just one or all you'd be able to choose multiple (such as audi, vw, seat & skoda).
Plus perhaps other attributes that don't exist, but could be added - eg power to weight ratio.
Looking forward to your replies
