Use Cases

• Car buyers — find deals across makes and models, compare prices and deal ratings
• Dealers — monitor competitor pricing and inventory
• Market researchers — analyze used car market trends, pricing patterns, days-on-market metrics
• Price comparison tools — aggregate listings across locations
• Data analysts — build datasets for vehicle depreciation, market demand, and pricing models

Notes

• Each page returns ~20 listings via server-side rendering
• When scraping a single make without a model, the scraper also fetches popular models for that make to maximize results
• Deal ratings (Great/Good/Fair/Overpriced) are based on Autolist's Instant Market Value analysis
• VIN-based deduplication ensures no duplicate listings
• Rate limiting is built in to avoid overloading the site
