Hello team,
I need recommendations on what to use to accomplish the following with a
Ruby program.
Today, I do the following by hand:
1. http://www.bmwusa.com/
2. Click bottom "Certified Pre_Owned" which takes me to:
http://www.bmwusa.com/Standard/Content/CPO/Default.aspx
3. Next I click "Model Search" taking me to:
http://www.bmwusa.com/Standard/Content/CPO/ModelSearch.aspx
4. I then select "Body Styles", "Series" and fill in some number, as
shown below:
Price Limit No Limit $15,000-$25,000 $20,000-$30,000 $25,000-$35,000
$30,000-$40,000 $35,000-$45,000 $40,000-$50,000 $45,000-$100,000
$100,000+
Transmission Either Automatic Manual
Zip Code
Distance No Limit 10 Miles 25 Miles 50 Miles 100 Miles 150 Miles 2=
00
Miles 500 Miles
I then get back a list which looks like the following partial list below.
Please notice that the search returned 350 vehicles. Sometime it can return
double that amount.
I am only interested in a model 328i or 335i 2007. I would like to purchase
one of these vehicles, but I am watching for the "right" price. I just don'=
w
want to be browsing everyday and filtering through the list by hand.
Please also notice that I would like to enter the parameters listed above.
Also, I could actually do a "global" search without entering any filtering
data. In other words, I could click search without selecting body type or
anything like that, but the returned data could be large. Then again a Ruby
program would go though the returned data rather quickly. So I guess I can
do it that way if the programming part is easier than entering parameters. =
I
would like to learn both ways, though!
For instance, I did it before writing this to test it and I got;
13508 vehicles found. To view details about a specific vehicle, click the
model name.
What tool should I use to accomplish this task?
Thank you
