No surprise, Carvana has it figured out. They continue to be way ahead of everyone else on vehicle merchandising.

Ryan,
100% agreed. Carvana and CarMax enjoy an incredibly tight loop of business operations and engineering, where the platform leaders have their instant feedback right from the sales floor, right from the call center. They have full visibility into internal KPIs and can iterate at light speed.

This should be pretty easy for USA, but we are currently trying to do this overseas where there are 65 Chinese brands in the market - oof.

Have you checked to see if the free databases from NHTSA will work? I would assume between that and freely available registration records you could AI down to a set of unique values pretty easily.

I am building a YMMT map for SRP Filters vs YMMTS SRP/VDP Title.
