Answer 1

You should setup two action methods inside of your controller and use the Html.ActionLink method to help create your form.

Example:

public ActionResult FindNewCar(string ddlbrand, string ddlModel, string ddlFuelType, string ddlBudget)
{
     // Do something here.
}

public ActionResult FindUsedCar(string ddlbrand2, string ddlModel2, string ddlFuelType2, ddlCity)
{
     // Do something here.
}

View

@using (Html.BeginForm("Home", "home"))
{
     @Html.ActionLink(...)
}
