Overpriced. Not selling.
POSSIBILITY STUDY · 07
Sixty cars on the lot. Sixty pricing decisions made by feel.
A possibility study. We built this concept end to end as a working prototype, inspired by the real operational bottleneck of a used-car dealership. The same system can be commissioned, customized, and shipped to your business in 8 days.
Sound like your business? Used-car lots. Dealerships. Any inventory business pricing by feel. The pattern is the same.
We have already imagined this. Let's explore yours →
THE OWNER
60 cars.
Priced by feel.
Tariq runs AutoBazaar out of a Deira side street that Dubai-locals know but no one else does. Sixty cars on the lot at any time. Every car priced last night by Tariq walking the lot with a clipboard, calling the Dubizzle page on his phone for each competitor listing.
Two hours every evening. Cars that sat too long lost margin. Cars that moved fast were under-priced. We built Tariq an engine that prices the entire lot every morning before he gets there.

The longer a car sits, the more money Tariq loses. Yard rent, insurance, depreciation. But he has no idea which cars are aging out.
He prices based on gut feel and what the guy next door is charging.
