Database Design for Car Dealership

Question

I'm looking into building an application for a car dealership. The biggest challenge I see is building the database to capture the necessary information about vehicles (year, make, model -- fairly easy, but I know the details go way beyond that). The information will probably be used to showcase the dealership's inventory on their website (so, users are probably going to want to be able to search based on various parameters, etc.).

Any suggestions on what I can do for version 1 of this database? Any samples out there that I can use? Thanks.

Solution

You should look at http://www.databaseanswers.org/data_models/ , there is a bunch of db models which you can compare.
