Built a used-car pricing analysis for VW and Audi listings by combining the datasets, exploring price and mileage distributions, checking correlations, and comparing brand-level pricing patterns. The work shows practical feature awareness and business judgment, with a clear recommendation to use model-assisted pricing, review large prediction gaps, include model name, and retrain regularly.

What stood out6
- Combined VW and Audi listings into a single analysis frame with a brand indicator and used it consistently in comparisons.
- Identified skew, outliers, and likely data quality issues such as engineSize = 0 and extreme mpg values.
- Connected the visual findings to business meaning by noting Audi's higher median price may be driven by model mix rather than brand alone.
- Translated model output into a CPO-style recommendation about pricing review thresholds, adding model name, and monthly retraining.
