What the market is made of

A specific model’s market
Make, model, generation, year, body, fuel, gearbox and drive — and the prices, mileage and versions of exactly that selection.
Market by specs
Automatic is already in most listings (54%), and every sixth car runs on LPG (16%).
Age, mileage and price
The median 10 900 $ is the typical price of a 2013 car. Each year younger adds 11% to the price on average.
If a car’s mileage is well below typical for its year, that is a reason to check its mileage history by VIN.

How to check a used car before buying?
A VIN or plate check shows registration history, accidents, mileage by date, US auction lots, theft and encumbrance records. Part of the data is free; the full report costs UAH 99 per car.
What is the median price and why not the average?
The median splits the market in half: half of the listings are cheaper, half are pricier. A few very expensive or very cheap cars do not move it, so it shows the “typical” price more honestly than the average.
What is the market core?
It is the corridor between the cheapest and the priciest quarter of listings. Half of all cars on the market sit inside it — the widest choice and the easiest comparison.
How is the price difference between regions calculated?
Every car is compared with the nationwide median of its own model year. A region with simply more new cars does not look “pricier” — the difference shows the price level itself.
What does the price trend show?
The index compares the prices of each month’s new listings with the median of their model year, so a shift in the market mix does not pass for a price move.
Can these figures price a specific car?
No — this is the market as a whole. A specific car’s price depends on mileage, condition, registration and accident history. A comparison of that exact car with the market is in the VIN or plate report.
How often is the data updated?
Regularly. The update date is in the “In short” block at the top of the page.
