Every car for sale, ranked by profit.
Dealer and private adverts from across South Africa, each valued against the cars like it — adjusted for mileage and condition — then worked through to the estimated trade value and the profit after licensing.
Type it the way you’d say it — make, model, year, budget, mileage or province.

Condition. Adverts that say the car is accident or hail damaged, a non-runner, Code 2, 3 or 4, salvage, sold as is, or needs engine, gearbox or body work are left out (23 today). Service history is shown on the card but not priced: in the adverts, cars without a stated full service history are not advertised for less.
Check it: Far under the market — usually a bait price, a deposit-only price, a typo or a scam. See the car and its papers before you pay anything. Their cards carry this warning, and anything more than 60% under is left out. These are asking prices, not sale prices, and we have not seen the cars.
