How DealersGPT works — our data & methodology

DealersGPT turns live car listings from across Qatar, the UAE and Saudi Arabia into one cross-border view of where the same vehicle is cheap, where it is dear, and where a real margin exists. This page explains exactly how those numbers are built — and, just as importantly, what we treat as a fact and what we label an estimate.

One vehicle, three markets

We continuously gather listings from each market's car marketplaces and group the same make, model, year and trim across all three. For every market we compute a typical (median) price from the listings we trust — the middle price, not the average — so you compare like with like instead of one stray ad against another.

Corridors and the fair gap

A corridor is the difference between a vehicle's typical price in a cheaper market (where you might buy) and a pricier one (where you might sell). We only show a corridor when it survives a real test: enough comparable cars on each leg, a positive gap after matching like-for-like mileage and trim, and an AI check that the cars being compared are genuinely the same vehicle — not a base trim against a loaded one.

Facts versus estimates

Per-market medians and the cheapest credible listing are facts, traceable to live ads. The cross-border spread is bridged through the official USD peg and shown in dollars, which makes it a labelled estimate — currency, days-to-sell and landed cost are all marked as estimates, never presented as guaranteed outcomes.

Confidence, and filtering bad data

Every figure carries a confidence level based on how many comparable cars we found. Before anything is computed we strip out prices that are obviously wrong for the model — a deposit or a monthly instalment scraped as a sale price — so a single junk number cannot invent a fake opportunity. Thin cohorts are shown as thin, not dressed up.

Freshness and verification

Listings sell, so the data is refreshed continuously and each corridor is re-verified on a regular cycle; figures are stamped with when they were last checked. A 'verified' badge means our AI confirmed the compared cars are the same vehicle, so the gap is trustworthy rather than a trim mismatch.

We link out — we don't sell cars

DealersGPT is an intelligence tool, not a marketplace. Every figure drills down to the original listing on its source marketplace, where the seller, the price and the transaction live. Always verify the exact vehicle — spec, origin, condition and export eligibility — before you act.
