Dealer vs. private: this is the gap

Amount · year = median price · typical build year of that supply. At least 30 listings per side, last 7 days.
Note: part of the gap is explainable. Dealers offer younger cars on average and price in warranty and sale preparation. That is why the typical build year sits next to it. Asking prices, not sale prices; indicative.
That is exactly why Autoflip exists: we scan all 5 platforms every 20 seconds and send a Telegram alert as soon as a private listing matches your filter.
Frequently asked questions
Why is a car cheaper from a private seller?+
A dealer prices in margin, warranty, inspection and sale preparation. A private seller has none of those costs. Part of the gap also comes from dealers offering younger cars on average; that is why we show the typical build year per column. Without a dealer warranty you carry more risk yourself: have the car inspected before you buy.
How is this table computed?+
Per brand we take the median asking price of private and dealer listings from the last 7 days on 2dehands, Marktplaats, AutoScout24 BE and NL and Mobile.de. Only brands with at least 30 listings on both sides count. Asking prices, not sale prices; indicative.
