Publication number: 20230015479Abstract: Disclosed is a method of electronic commerce of vehicles. The method involves a server sending, responsive to search parameters, search results including identifying information of one or more matching vehicles. Available vehicles are conditionally included in the search results based on whether the available vehicles match the search parameters and each additional condition is met. In accordance with an embodiment of the disclosure, the additional condition includes a condition that, for each available vehicle in which its source market is different from a destination market of a prospective purchaser, a list price plus additional charges for exporting the available vehicle from the source market to the destination market is less than the wholesale value in the destination market. Thus, available vehicles that are too expensive and thus not practical for sale in a destination market can be omitted, thereby improving the electronic commerce of vehicles.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 13, 2022Publication date: January 19, 2023Inventor: Ryan P.
