By using the vehicles’ brand, model, package type, model year, body type, gear type, fuel type and mileage characteristics for the future six months sales prices of the vehicle was estimated over the past selling prices of vehicles. For this regard, six different algorithms (ANN, ARIMA, SARIMA, XGBOOST, TBATS, HOLT WINTERS Forecasting) were studied in this research. According to the success of these algorithms, the best algorithm which is HOLT WINTERS was selected. The results of HOLT WINTERS were announced as output of the research.
