Data sources

Asking prices (listings)

• AutoScout24: public listings across European countries, collected daily.
• mobile.de: public listings, collected about every two weeks.

An asking price is what a seller asks, not what a car sold for. We publish the median per variant and region, with the number of listings behind it.

Realized prices (auction results)

• Bring a Trailer, Collecting Cars and Bonhams: sold lots, checked for new results daily.

Realized prices are hammer prices excluding buyer’s fees (buyer’s premium). Lots that did not sell are not counted. Asking and realized prices are kept separate and never averaged together. Each auction is assigned to the region where it took place (EU, UK or US), and regions are never mixed.

What we publish

• Aggregate statistics: medians, ranges, counts, country breakdowns, changes over time and indices.
• Anonymised auction data points (date, price, model year, mileage when stated), each linking out to the original public lot page.

What we never publish

• Individual listings, listing photos or listing descriptions.
• Seller or buyer data of any kind (names, contact details, dealer identities).

Pictures on share cards are freely licensed Wikimedia Commons photos, never listing photos; see Photo credits.
