Trends in an online automobile market.

Abstract

Over the course of the 20th century, the automobile rapidly developed from an expensive toy for the rich into the de facto standard for passenger transport in most developed. In developing countries, the effects of the automobile have lagged, but are emulating the impacts of developed nations. The development of the automobile built upon the transport revolution started by railways, and like the railways, introduced sweeping changes in employment patterns, social interactions, and infrastructure and goods distribution. A car dealership or vehicle local distribution is a business that sells new or used cars at the retail level, based on a dealership contract with an automaker or its sales subsidiary. This work is aimed at the development of an Online Automobile Market to allow interested car purchasers order for vehicle through the use of the internet so as to replace the hitherto manual system of vehicle purchasing currently being practiced in the country today. It also provides adequate, robust pricing information for each vehicle item displayed for sale. PHP with HTML technologies was employed in developing the front end with the client side of the system, which made the system fast, flexible and scalable, the database was created using MYSQL. Therefore it saves customers' time and effort by enabling easy navigation round the website.
