<![CDATA[The development of information technology has significantly influenced the process of buying and selling vehicles, especially used cars. The process of selecting used cars often faces several problems, such as limited information, difficulties in comparing vehicle specifications, and different vehicle locations. This study aims to develop a location-aware web-based Decision Support System using the SMART (Simple Multi Attribute Rating Technique) method for used car selection. The system is designed to help users obtain the best used car recommendations based on several criteria, such as price, production year, engine condition, fuel consumption, transmission, mileage, and passenger capacity. The location-aware feature is implemented to allow users to search for used cars based on specific cities, such as Medan, Binjai, Pematang Siantar, and Sibolga. The SMART method is used to perform weighting and ranking of car alternatives to produce objective and measurable recommendations. This research uses data collection methods through literature studies, observations, and questionnaires distributed to 70 respondents. The results show that the developed system is capable of helping users choose used cars more effectively, efficiently, and according to user needs.]]>
