Built an end-to-end used-car pricing analysis for VW and Audi listings: combined the datasets, explored price and mileage patterns, engineered predictive features, trained and compared Linear Regression and Random Forest models, and selected the stronger model based on R², MAE, and RMSE. Also translated the results into a practical pricing recommendation for a Certified Pre-Owned team.
