Our live all-in price: €16,185 (VRT, VAT, customs & delivery included) · Irish market data snapshot: 2026-08-10

⚡ Bestseller — €2,765 under the Irish market right now

Qualified by market position: priced under the Irish median for its exact model and year. Both the badge and the working below are recomputed from our live all-in price every 15 minutes, so they never drift apart for more than a few minutes.

Route 2 — under the Irish median for its exact model and year

€18,950 Irish median (across 39 real listings) − €16,185 ours = €2,765 saving

The median is the middle asking price of all 39 Irish listings for this exact make, model and year — it ignores freak highs and lows, and one or two mispriced ads cannot move it. We only use medians built from 10 or more real listings.

The real Irish advert behind this

A live Irish advert for the same model (2020) — close spec match, carrying higher mileage than ours — asking €16,950.

We would like to publish the full detail of every comparison, but other sellers’ adverts are their own — it isn’t our place to republish their car data, especially where our cars compete directly with theirs on price. So the comparison uses the advertised asking price only. Best practice is followed throughout: real advertised prices, recorded weekly and compared like for like, with Claude AI — Fable 5, Anthropic’s most advanced model — involved in the statistical modelling behind this price comparison. The best tools available, used properly, for the most reliable results.

How we work this out — the rules

A saving only counts against a real Irish asking price, never a prediction.
Irish evidence covers listings from the past six months, each car counted once at its most recent asking price — a car that sold at its price is proof the price was real. Measured drift is negligible (24,775 identical listings ten days apart: 91% unchanged, average move −€78).
The Bestseller ladder: any saving of €750+ earns the badge and the colour deepens with the saving — €2,500+ is a Bestseller, €5,000+ a #1 Bestseller. Euro figures, not percentages — €2,800 off a €48k car is real money even when the percentage looks small.
Route 1: this exact car against a real Irish advert, with strong evidence — several comparisons, high match confidence, or same year with our mileage no higher — and that advert priced within 15% of the Irish median for its model and year where one exists, so a single freak listing can never earn a verified Bestseller badge; at most it shows as a trend.
Route 2: our all-in price against the median asking price of 10 or more real Irish listings for the exact make, model and year.
Only routes that pass their own test are in the running. Where both pass, the badge shows the bigger of the two savings; where one passes, that one decides.
A real saving whose evidence doesn’t stand up is a Trending Bestseller — worded “around”, never as a verified figure.
We do not adjust for mileage or specification — we measured both (about €585 per 10,000 km against about €765 of extra spec on our side) and they cancel to within about €55, so we compare prices exactly as listed.
Savings above 45% are excluded as implausible; every figure is re-checked against our live price, so the badge always equals the arithmetic of the prices shown. Irish figures are asking prices; ours is the final all-in price.
