In this case, the user then gets to choose a specific body type. This could be a concrete mixer, a tipper, a platform, a demountable body frame or a municipal vehicle body, to name but a few examples. The same procedure applies to selection of the driver's cab type. In this instance, the pulldown menu has options for topsleeper, crew cab, triple cab, extra-large cab, short cab, long cab, megaspace cab or medium cab. Similarly, a few mouse clicks is all it takes to enter the desired GVW, payload and engine rating.
Users can also specify the vehicle mileage and the initial registration date and build year.
Moving on, the prospective buyer can indicate a price preference in either euros or DM and, furthermore, either restrict the search to Germany or extend it to include other countries in Western Europe. By clicking on one of the listed vehicles, the prospective buyer can call up a detailed survey of all the data pertaining to that vehicle, ranging from initial registration details to the wheelbase length and the asking price. Also included are the seller's or salesperson's co-ordinates, namely postal address, phone number and fax number. By way of example, the seller might be a used commercial vehicle centre. A dialogue box will then appear, allowing the user to enter further criteria such as the desired deposit amount or number of monthly payments.
