About the project.
We are looking to build a Car Dealer Platform (CMS) to be able to offer it as a “Software as a Service” to range of our clients. What we would like to achieve is something similar to what is currently available on the market. I did a little research and the are a lot of scripts, plugins, software and such already available online - however, we require some functionality that are not included in the above mentioned and we want this to be a bespoke platform tailored for us.
The platform must have:
Here are some examples of platforms currently available on the market and few websites created based on these platforms:

http://www.tilsungroup.com/[/list]
Please feel free to PM me anything related to the topic and ask questions if something is unclear as well as if you require more info.
What I am hoping to achieve by posting this here is to get some advice from experienced / senior php developers to point us in the right direction and hopefully to start a partnership.
We are based in North London.
Thank you.
