Turkish Auto Price Tracker - Arabam and Sahibinden Price Comparison

arabam fiyat karşılaştırma | ikinci el otomobil değerleme | araç fiyat analizi

Vehicle valuation for Turkey across Arabam and Sahibinden.

Given a vehicle specification (make, model, year range, fuel type, transmission), this actor searches Arabam and Sahibinden and returns a comprehensive statistical price report - average, median, percentiles, mileage buckets, and seller-type analysis. Built for insurance companies, banks, dealers, and anyone who needs reliable Turkish used-car valuations.

---

Use Cases

Insurance valuation — Before writing a comprehensive policy, insurers need the current market value. Feed in the vehicle spec, get a median price with percentile confidence bands in seconds.

Loan collateral assessment — Banks and finance companies need LTV ratios based on realistic market prices, not list prices. The mileage-bucketed analysis accounts for depreciation accurately.

Dealer pricing research — Know what your inventory is worth today. Compare your asking price against the galeri average vs. private-seller (sahibinden) average — they typically differ by 5–15%.

Individual buyers/sellers — Find out if that 2020 Passat for 1,850,000 TRY is a good deal or overpriced by looking at the p25–p75 range.

Statistical Methodology

The aggregator follows a robust approach to avoid distorted averages:

1. Outlier removal: Prices below p5 and above p95 are excluded before computing averages. This eliminates data-entry errors (e.g. 15,000 TRY instead of 1,500,000) and unrealistic asking prices.
2. Minimum platform threshold: A platform needs ≥5 listings to be included in the summary. Fewer listings produce unreliable statistics.
3. Mileage buckets: Vehicles are grouped by 0–50K, 50K–100K, 100K–150K, and 150K+ km. This accurately reflects mileage-based depreciation.
4. Seller type split: Galeri (dealer) vs. sahibinden (private owner) prices are reported separately. The gap is typically 5–15% and matters for valuation models.

Sahibinden Requirements

Sahibinden.com uses aggressive Cloudflare protection and requires authenticated session cookies.

How to get session cookies:

1. Log into sahibinden.com in your browser
2. Install the EditThisCookie extension (Chrome) or Cookie-Editor (Firefox)
3. Export all cookies from sahibinden.com as JSON
4. Paste the array into the sahibindenCookies input field

Cookie lifetime: Sahibinden session cookies typically last 7–30 days. If scraping stops working, refresh your cookies.

Without cookies: The actor still works using Arabam.com only. The price summary will note Sahibinden as "skipped" with the reason.

OtoMoto Turkey Note

otomoto.com.tr was investigated during development (April 2026) and confirmed to redirect to an unrelated domain. The platform does not currently operate in Turkey. The OtoMoto module is implemented and ready — when a viable third Turkish platform is identified, it will be activated in a future update.

Pricing

$10 per vehicle price report

FAQ

How many listings should I use for reliable statistics? For a narrow spec (single model, 2-year range), 30+ listings per platform is sufficient. Broader queries (all years, all fuel types) benefit from 100+ listings.

Can I run this daily for price monitoring? Yes — schedule the actor via Apify scheduler. Arabam prices change frequently. We recommend weekly runs for monitoring and daily runs for active trading desks.

What if Sahibinden is blocked? The actor continues with available platforms. The run summary reports blockedPlatforms: ["sahibinden"]. Check that your session cookies haven't expired and that you're using TR residential proxies.

Can I get city-level breakdowns? Currently, the city filter narrows which listings are collected. A future version will add per-city price breakdown within the summary.
