⚡ Bestseller — €1,188 under the Irish market right now
Qualified by market position: priced under the Irish median for its exact model and year, taken from the listings closest to this car's mileage. 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, year and mileage
€17,950 Irish median (across 37 real listings within 20,000 km of our mileage) − €16,762 ours = €1,188 saving
Irish dealers list 98 of this exact make, model and year, with a median asking price of €17,450. 37 of them sit within 20,000 km of this car’s mileage, and their median is €17,950 — the like-for-like figure, and the one we compare against. We only narrow to mileage where 10 or more such listings exist, inside model-years with 10 or more listings; a median ignores freak highs and lows, so one or two mispriced ads cannot move it.
The Irish market: audi a3 (2017)

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 — narrowed to the listings within 20,000 km of our car’s mileage where 10 or more exist, so a low-mileage car is judged against low-mileage listings and a high-mileage car against high-mileage ones.
- 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.
- Mileage is handled by comparing like with like (above), not by adjusting prices. We do not adjust for specification: our cars average about €765 more equipment than the Irish listings they are compared with, so if anything the saving is understated. Prices are compared 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.
