How much would be the cost to build a used car app?

Well, this is the question I always look forward to answering, as there is nothing as such FIXED cost for the app concept unless you are replicating the existing solution, and I hope you know, there is no benefit to making the replica out of the existing ones.

You must know that the cost to create a used car app depends on a number of factors, such as features, functionalities, number of platforms, type of technology, app development company among many others.

Hence, to give you an accurate numerical figure, these factors need to be assessed. On the other hand, the price of building an MDP (minimum delight product) for a used car app starts from $45,000 to $75,000, but this is just a rough idea, and the actual cost can go beyond this, based on your requirements.
