Case study: AutoBay24, the nationwide used car marketplace

AutoBay24 - Used car marketplace across Italy

Project Summary

Project Information

Client: AutoBay24

Industry: National automotive marketplace

Type: National marketplace with a dedicated website for every dealership

Technologies: PHP, MySQL, JavaScript, Bootstrap

Status: Online and active

AutoBay24 lists used cars from verified dealerships only: no private ads, no duplicates, nothing taken when a car sells. Whoever is looking talks straight to whoever is selling.

For the dealership the logic is the opposite of a classifieds portal: instead of buying exposure piece by piece, it gets a website of its own, domain and hosting included. A car is entered once and appears in two shop windows — its own and the national one.

Dealerships only

VAT number checked before activation

How the system works

Your own website, plus the national shop window

Enter the car once. It shows up in two places.

The dealership works only on its own website. Every car published there lands on AutoBay24 straight away, with photos, technical sheet and contacts. No second entry, no separate portal to keep up, no cut taken when the car sells.

What the car buyer sees

Search that gets to the point

Make, model, year, price, fuel and body type. The list narrows as the filters are chosen, with no page reload.

Filter by body type

SUVs and pick-ups, saloons, hatchbacks, estates, MPVs, coupés, convertibles and vans: one click on the icon and only that kind of car is left.

Technical sheets that hold up

Engine, fuel, gearbox, power, consumption, dimensions and emissions come from the official database — nobody types them in by hand.

The dealership's own page

Every seller has a profile with logo, description, address, map and all their cars. The buyer can see straight away who they are dealing with.

Compare and save

Interesting cars can be put side by side or set aside to pick the search up later, at leisure.

Contact with no middleman

Phone, WhatsApp and a form on every listing. The enquiry reaches the dealership, not a switchboard.

What the dealership manages

A website on its own domain

Not a tab inside the portal: a real website with the dealership's address, logo and colours. Domain and hosting are part of the fee.

Published automatically

The car is added from the dealership's own panel and appears on AutoBay24 as well. Only one place to keep up to date.

A car in the window in two minutes

Type the plate or pick the model and the system fills in the technical data. Price, mileage, condition and photos are what is left.

What buyers actually look at

For every car the dealership sees views, calls and messages received: it shows which cars pull and which need repricing.

Three plans, one fee

It starts with an Italian site covering cars and vans and goes up to motorcycles, trucks, more languages, rental and a blog. The fee is annual and covers domain, hosting and maintenance.

Listings included

Every plan comes with a number of vehicle listings per year. Plate and model lookups are topped up from the panel and do not expire.

Project results

A marketplace that works for the dealership

This is where it differs from other portals: the dealership does not pay to appear among a thousand private ads — it gets a website of its own and national exposure in the same fee.

Dealerships only

VAT number checked before activation: no private ads among the results

One entry, two shop windows

A car published on the dealership's site reaches the portal by itself

No commission

You pay the annual fee and that is it: nobody takes a cut of the sale

Nationwide coverage

Verified dealerships from all over Italy, not a regional noticeboard

Why AutoBay24 was built

AutoBay24 was born from direct experience with dealers: every seller wants more online visibility without extra work. Automatic publishing from their own website solves exactly this problem — the dealer manages cars in one place and the marketplace does the rest.
