Overview
AutoVista is a transparent online car dealership that brings used car sales into the modern era. Buyers browse a curated inventory of quality vehicles with clear, no-haggle pricing—no visits to lots, no haggling with salespeople. The business is built as a storefront where customers can reserve or purchase cars directly online, with real checkout via Stripe. The MVP is live and includes 6 cars with AI-generated photos, detailed specs, and pricing. The buyer gets a fully operational storefront ready to scale: add more inventory, process real transactions, and expand to a custom domain.
Mission
AutoVista — Online Car Sales
What we're building
A transparent online car dealership: a curated inventory of quality used cars with clear, no-haggle pricing, where buyers can browse, reserve, and buy directly online.
Current focus (MVP — built and live)
The storefront MVP is published at https://a70a402e1b72888ad429cee3d3bb323e.ctonew.app: hero with brand and pitch, 6 curated cars (AI-generated photos, no-haggle price, year, mileage, key specs), and a "Reserve this car" inquiry form. Reserves are expression-of-interest only — honest messaging confirms no payment is taken.
Next, in order:
- Real checkout via Stripe — create each car as a product, generate payment links, wire the site's Buy buttons. Blocked until Stripe shows connected on the Finance tab (live data still reads free plan / no Stripe).
- Go live on hosting with a custom domain so the site is always-on and shareable.
