Are you making a website for the public to view your vehicle inventory? If so, I have some ideas, if not, disregard the rest of this post! As you know, I build custom software and not websites, but do have ideas that you may or may not have thought of.

Make the site easy to browse. Being that you want people to 'window' shop your vehicle inventory, make it really easy to do that. Try and show a price, kms, model and a decent picture at a high level, and show lots of these on one screen. The picture is important, because people who are looking for a few specific models look for them by picture, like flipping through an autotrader. Beyond that, have a good search option for people looking for a specific car (and make sure you populate those search fields for every vehicle on the back end).

Something that shows a lot of cars at once, and doesnt take long to load a detailed view of each car. When I am looking through auto sites, I'm gone if something takes around a second to view the up close picture of a car I am interested in.

I hope your project goes well....
