If you download/use the data set I'd appreciate an up vote, cheers.

Updated

Scraped data of used cars listings. 100,000 listings, which have been separated into files corresponding to each car manufacturer. I collected the data to make a tool to predict how much my friend should sell his old car for compared to other stuff on the market, and then just extended the data set. Then made a more general car value regression model.

previous version

Picked two fairly common cars on the British market for analysis (Ford Focus and Mercedes C Class). The hope is to find info such as: when is the ideal time to sell certain cars (i.e. at what age and mileage are there significant drops in resale value). Also can make comparisons between the two, and make a classifier for a ford or Mercedes car. Can easily add more makes and models, so comment for any request e.g. if you want a big data set of all Mercedes makes and models.

Content

The cleaned data set contains information of price, transmission, mileage, fuel type, road tax, miles per gallon (mpg), and engine size. I've removed duplicate listings and cleaned the columns, but have included a notebook showing the process and the original data for anyone who wants to check/improve my work.

Inspiration

It'd be cool to have some insights and visualisations of the data. Also, am open to ideas on how to expand the data set.

This dataset contains details of the number of registered vehicles based upon registering address in Leicester and is sourced from the Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency (DVLA).Data is updated quarterly.This dataset is also part of a dashboard that has been created showing a range of transport related data.

Household composition

Household composition classifies households according to the relationships between the household members. Households consisting of one family and no other usual residents are classified according to the type of family (married, same-sex civil partnership or cohabiting couple family, or lone parent family) and the number of dependent children. Other households are classified by the number of people, the number of dependent children, or whether the household consists only of students or only of people aged 65 and over.

In Northern Ireland only:

• A dependent child is a person in a household aged 0 to 15 (whether or not in a family) or a person aged 16 to 18 who is a full-time student in a family with parent(s).
• A family consists of a couple (married, same-sex civil partnership or cohabiting) with or without children, or a lone parent and their children. It also includes a married, same-sex civil partnership or cohabiting couple with their grandchildren or a lone grandparent with his or her grandchildren, if there is no parent in the intervening generation in the household. A family will also include step-children when their parent is part of the couple.
