I would like opinions on this? Bought at auction a few months ago, i had great plans to focus a lot of time in developing this into something great.
I've reached something of a brick wall in trying to source all the data to run a full car history check style service.

I have the Police National Computer listening to applications, it is the insurance data side of things i am finding hard to source. I have been passed from pillar to post about who can provide me with this data (willingly), the best i have been offered is an affiliate scheme but ideally we wanted to provide the whole service ourselves.

So at the moment i am wondering how much you think it may be worth to sell as a domain only to an end user?

Although I reckon car thefts are on the decline generally with better security fitted as standard for a while now, these checks provides much more. For example I personally used such a service to check out a car I was interested in buying recently so I could be confident it hadn't been clocked or involved in any accidents as well if it had ever been stolen, for the £5 or so fee it was a great piece of mind. My point is I think there is still a great need for these services.

Opinions?
 
I think your better off dev'ing this one, to an end user maybe £500 to £1500 depending on how much they want it, it would have to be someone who already as a business model in mind for this sort of thing.

Good luck :cool:
 
Thanks doodlebug, dev'ing it would still be my first choice too. Making the site would be relatively easy, getting all the data from all the relevant sources is what's proving to be difficult as i mentioned.

Thanks for your appraisal.
 
I like the name - not sure about the data - the only car data I've used for leasing is the CAP data but that's more vehicle specifications. Perhaps askmid do some kind of lookup but I guess you'll probably need a commercial subscription.
