John's Copart Scraper

This project was built for my dad’s friend, John. He runs a small business where he purchases cars from auctions, fixes them up, and then sells them. John wanted me to build him a program where he could download the auction site’s list of cars and then scrape the web for the cars rough resale value on the private market. The website I have decided to scrape through is Kijiji, the Canadian Version of KSL, and the auction site is Copart. The program is limited to the two Canadian cities where John sells his cars because of Kijiji's url format, which is difficult to decode.
