Abstract: An integrated platform and associated interface(s) facilitate a transaction, such as a purchase of a vehicle or other item. The platform integrates information of multiple types received from various sources. Such information may be associated with a transaction, or possible future transaction, to purchase an item such as a vehicle. For example, the platform may receive and integrate information regarding user vehicle preferences, financing for the vehicle, insurance to cover the vehicle, total cost of ownership for the vehicle, prior vehicle trade-in information, dealer availability and price comparison information, user budget analysis, and/or other information. The platform presents information through interface(s), which are accessible through interface elements that each corresponds to a stage in the process to select and purchase an item. The displayed characteristics of each element are changeable to reflect the current status of the stage corresponding to the element.

Abstract: Techniques are described for analyzing data regarding users and purchasable items, and providing user experiences to users regarding the buying, leasing, and/or selling of item(s), the history of item(s), and/or other services associated with the item(s). Data may be analyzed by a data engine that provides output to power multiple user experiences (e.g., user interfaces). Such user experiences may include providing a user with recommendation(s) of items that may be of interest to the user. Recommendations may be determined using one or more algorithms, such as a content-based, criteria-based, and/or collaborative algorithm. The recommendation(s) may be presented to the user through a search user interface.
