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 the median).

You get: One row per make/model: median asking price and price range across the whole stock. One row per deal: price, % under the median, how many cars are cheaper and dearer, mileage, registration year, dealer or private.

Price: $0.02 per make/model. +$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: one deal row: price €7,900 · model median €15,450 · 48.9% under the median · cheaper than at least 1,204 and at most 1,890 of the cars listed

How a car gets placed

priceto=X is a search filter, and the site reports the exact hit count for any filter. A ladder of price ceilings therefore returns the true population CDF — not a sample, an enumeration. Each of the cheapest listings is then placed against it:

{
  "price": 7900,
  "populationMedian": 15450,
  "discountVsMedianPct": 48.9,
  "pricePercentile": {
    "minPct": 10.9,
    "maxPct": 17.2,
    "cheaperThanAtLeast": 1204,
    "cheaperThanAtMost": 1890,
    "withinLadder": true
  }
}

Bounded, never interpolated. 1,204 cars are priced at or below €7,500 and 1,890 at or below €8,000 — both counts came from the site. This car is somewhere between them, and the output says exactly that rather than inventing a point estimate inside the band.

When it refuses

If the ladder does not produce a population CDF for a search — 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 is always stated (population or sample) so a 11,008-car median can never be mistaken for a 20-car page median.

Pricing

From $0.02 per model scanned, $0.002 per individual deal.

Only /lst/{make}[/{model}]? is fetched; detail pages are never requested (robots.txt forbids /angebote/). Sellers are never emitted. 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.
• No results = no charge. You only pay for results you actually get.
• 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.
