Overview
AutoDealAnalyzer is a Chrome extension built for car resellers targeting the Ukrainian market. It injects a real-time analysis panel directly into Copart auction lot pages — extracting the VIN, decoding vehicle data, fetching live market prices from AutoRia, and calculating the full import cost including customs duties and shipping from the USA.
The tool covers the complete analysis pipeline: Copart DOM parsing, VIN intelligence with a GPT-4o Vision fallback for photo-only VINs, AutoRia market price lookup with fuzzy model matching, automated shipping and customs calculation, profit estimation, and a composite 0–100 flip score with actionable Ukrainian-language advice — all running inside a Shadow DOM panel isolated from Copart's own styles.
