Partial The interface and LLM-generated verdicts are easy to build. A credible Deal Score and 5-year cost needs current, accurate vehicle pricing, depreciation, and insurance data that a solo builder can't easily get.
What it would actually take: Build a frontend and LLM summarization layer on top of vehicle data. The hard part is licensing or building a reliable dataset of market prices, MSRP, depreciation curves by model/trim/region, insurance rates, and maintenance costs, plus a transparent scoring model. This needs data licensing deals and some automotive-economics expertise.
