AutoScout24 Underpriced Cars — Discount vs Model Median

What it does: Counts the whole AutoScout24 stock of a make/model to find its median asking price, then lists the cheapest cars with how far under that median each sits.

You enter: Make/model slugs, e.g. bmw/3er, a country (default de) and a deal threshold (default 20% under).

You get: One row per make/model: median asking price and price range across the whole stock. One row per deal, from the 40 cheapest cars checked: price, % under the median, how many cars are cheaper (a bounded count), mileage, registration year, dealer or private.

Price: $0.02 per make/model, and every make/model in your list is charged. +$0.002 per deal found (on by default; turn "Include individual deals" off for the summary only). A search that can't be measured = no charge.

Example: enter bmw/3er (Germany, cars first registered from 2020) → model median €34,542 across all 5,756 cars in that search · cheapest deal €8,499 · 75.4% under the median (real run, 2026-08-09)

How a car gets placed

priceto=X is a search filter, and the site prints the exact hit count for any filter you send. A ladder of price ceilings therefore gives exact counts for the whole search — every car in it, not a sample. Each of the cheapest cars is then placed against those counts.

Measured on 2026-08-09 (real run) — bmw/3er on autoscout24.de, cars first registered from 2020; the deepest-discount car of that run:

{
  "price": 8499,
  "populationMedian": 34542,
  "discountVsMedianPct": 75.4,
  "pricePercentile": {
    "minPct": 0.0,
    "maxPct": 0.0,
    "cheaperThanAtLeast": 0,
    "cheaperThanAtMost": 2,
    "withinLadder": true
  }
}

Counted, never guessed. In that run no car was priced at or below €6,400 and 2 cars at or below €12,000 — both counts came from the site. This car sits somewhere between those two rungs, and the output says exactly that rather than inventing a single number inside the band.

When it refuses

If the ladder does not give exact whole-search counts — too few cars, or a filter the site will not separate — the run returns basisUsable: false with the reason and is not charged. A "deal" measured against page one is the product this one exists to replace.

priceBasis always says where the median came from — count-ladder when the site's own counts covered the whole search, sample when only the cars actually read could be used — so a whole-search median can never be mistaken for a 20-car page median.

Pricing

$0.02 per make/model scanned, plus $0.002 per deal returned (deals are on by default; turn "Include individual deals" off for the summary only). A search the ladder cannot measure is not charged. You pay per make/model, not per month.

Only the search page /lst/{make}[/{model}]? is read; the individual car page is never opened (robots.txt forbids /angebote/). Each deal row says whether the seller is a dealer or a private seller, and carries the dealer's company name, postcode and city where the site shows them — a private seller's car carries its country only. A contact name, phone number or street never appears in a row. Nothing is stored between runs.

If something goes wrong

• Wrong number or a failed run? Open a ticket on the Issues tab. I read every one and reply within 2 business days (Japan time).
• You never get a fake "empty" result. If the site can't be read, the run fails and says so.
• A make/model that can't be measured = no charge. A make/model that could be measured costs $0.02 even when nothing is underpriced right now — that is the answer you asked for.
• Checked every week. An automatic test runs this tool weekly; if the site changes, I fix it.
• Public pages only. No login, no personal data, and it goes easy on the site.
