Background of the Invention
Buying a car can often be a difficult proposition. It is typically one of the more expensive purchases that people make. There are many different vehicles available, each having slightly different features, and prospective purchasers have numerous factors to take into account. This is the reason why people opt for used vehicles where they can get the vehicles in good condition at comparatively lower price, which they can afford.
There are few standards available to determine the quality of used vehicles and to determine whether the price is reasonable. It is therefore often difficult to accurately compare different used vehicles, both between two or more vehicles having similar or identical make, model, and year as well as among all used vehicles. There are several online applications which are developed that enable the users to compare the value of various used vehicles which they can access before decide to buy a vehicle which can be a bike, car, auto, truck and so forth, which can save a lot of money. But in this fast growing world, the technology keeps changing in rapid pace, where the old technologies are no longer used.
Such condition leads to variation in pricing of the vehicles which has to be updated time to time. But in some cases, because the condition of the vehicle is often estimated and specific occurrences in the life of a given vehicle are not taken into account, it can lead to incorrect pricing, which can be a loss to either the buyer or the seller.
Therefore there is a need for a used vehicle data management system which can be accessible through any electronic device that can provide accurate vehicle history of all the used vehicles which are recorded in the system, which provides a report for each vehicle which can be used to get accurate pricing of the vehicle.
There is a need for a system which collects all the data about a specific vehicle, providing an overall picture of what the state of vehicle is. Manual comparison of multiple vehicle history reports can be a time-consuming process, thus there is a need for a method where automatic vehicle comparison can be achieved reducing the time and effort required for the same, which can help the buyers to make their selection easily.
