I am trying to click on an element that should send me to the next page, however, I can't seem to properly locate it or even locate any item on the page.
HTML Code for Element
<a data-qa="menu-button"
class="HeaderMenu__HeaderItemButton-kr6p0e-0 hbeYmr MenuButton__MenuButtonWrapper-dq0g44-0 imLDTG"
data-cv-test="headerSearchLink"
href="/cars"
target="_self">Search Cars
</a>
Visual of what I'm trying to click on
My code that does not work (I have the proper import statements)
PATH = "my_path_to_chromedriver"
driver = webdriver.Chrome(PATH)
driver.get("https://www.carvana.com")
link = driver.find_element_by_class_name('HeaderMenu__HeaderItemButton-kr6p0e-0 hbeYmr MenuButton__MenuButtonWrapper-dq0g44-0 imLDTG')
link.click()
I have tried searching by class name using this approach and just get this error message
link = driver.find_element_by_class_name('HeaderMenu__HeaderItemButton-kr6p0e-0 hbeYmr MenuButton__MenuButtonWrapper-dq0g44-0 imLDTG')

I have also tried searching by CSS selector. I even did a little sanity check and searched for the very first line of html code on the website and for some reason it gave me the same error. Anything helps... thank you!
The problem is you have spaces in the class name. The class name function doesn't work for that, I would suggest trying
driver.find_element_by_css_selector('.HeaderMenu__HeaderItemButton-kr6p0e-0.hbeYmr.MenuButton__MenuButtonWrapper-dq0g44-0.imLDTG')
