Figures out relative cost of vehicle based on year, model, kbb value, etc to produce cost per year and true total cost in 1/3/5 year period.

initial get from kbb value

• immediate costs (per month, per year)
• actual cost (depreciation,
• relative cost(compare to another vecicle) . -- i.e how much more money would I lose in the short term and overall if I picked car a vs b . (fuel costs, depreciation, interest, taxes)

• NHSTA API
• carqueryapi

• Seems like the only free option is to write a scraper service.

• marketcheck Listings for car, not sure the cost per month for basic (has 30 day 20k/mth free evaluation). Awesome api docs, just unsure of costs. demo site

• How do you solve for which craigslist to search for? Is there a general api based on location?

TODO:

• Pull list of current cars from api
• search feature to quickly add cars to compare (i.e typing '2002 accord' should resolve to the correct vehicle)
• be able to get valuation based on selected car from car value api
• logic for figuring out monthly, yearly, 3/5/7/10 year cost.
• add a second vehicle and compare the two
• add options for various potential things to factor in
  • add asset growth (invested remainder cash vs straight cash)
  • factor in risk-based maintenance (i.e a tacoma will have lot lower vs a dodge ram)
  • include gas/fueling costs
  • include projected depreciation
• finish and clean up front end
• add tests
• adjust as per usage and needs
• deploy

• rxjs --- observables for api data
• redux for state. Might be overkill for current scale, but if there is future expansion, the architecture will be able to handle it.

• ng new myApp --prefix r6 --style scss --routing ? how to follow particular folder structure, i.e src/app/components/[component-name], src/app/services/[service-name]
