The Bestseller Index™
UK vs Ireland car prices, measured weekly. Every make, model and year we stock, benchmarked against real Irish asking prices — the first methodical comparison of its kind. No estimates, no adjustments, and the full maths behind every figure.
Live figures — refreshed every 15 minutes against our current prices. Irish market snapshot: 2026-08-03. Irish evidence covers listings from the past six months, each car counted once at its most recent asking price (measured on 24,775 identical listings ten days apart: 91% unchanged).

How we work this out
Each week we record every Carzone listing for the makes, models and years we stock. For any model-year with 10 or more Irish listings we take the median asking price — the middle price, which ignores freak highs and lows. We compare it with our all-in delivered price: the car, VAT, customs, VRT, transport and our fee — what you actually pay to have it on Irish plates in your name. Savings of €2,500+ we call a Bestseller; €5,000+ a #1 Bestseller. Every comparison shows how many Irish listings it is based on and the week it was measured. Irish figures are asking prices; ours is the final price.
We do not adjust for mileage or specification. We measured both: our cars average slightly higher mileage (worth about €585 per 10,000 km) and slightly higher specification (worth about €765). The two cancel to within about €55, so we compare prices exactly as listed.
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. Best practice is followed throughout, with Claude AI — Fable 5, Anthropic’s most advanced model — involved in the statistical modelling behind this price comparison.
