AutoTrack Scraper for Dutch Used Car and Dealer Data

AutoTrack is a Dutch car portal where buyers look for used cars - occasions, as the Dutch call them - in the stock of dealers. Private persons cannot advertise on AutoTrack, so the stock comes from businesses: the Aanbieder filter sorts it into Merkendealer, Officiële merkdealer, Erkend reparateur, Onafhankelijk BOVAG autobedrijf and Universeel autobedrijf, and the dealer type is a field on every row. The same Aanbod section also holds campers, vans and other commercial vehicles.

Online since 2000, AutoTrack now belongs to the AutoScout24 group and stays active under its own brand name. Around the listings sit an Autogids of model guides, buying advice from Team AutoTrack, a dealer finder by postcode under Occasions in de buurt, and a free car report, the RDW-Voertuigrapport.

For a data buyer the Dutch context is the point. Prices are quoted including VAT, with a separate flag for cars sold under the margin scheme; the kenteken ties a car to the national register; APK dates and NAP mileage checks are standard selling points; and road tax is shown per quarter. AutoTrack prints all of them on the listing itself.

Because every listing carries the same Dutch fields, AutoTrack rows compare cleanly across dealers, regions and months.

• Stock benchmarkingA dealer sees every competing car within a chosen distance or province - same model, build year and mileage - and where its own asking price sits among them.
• Sell-through by modelThe Gereserveerd and Verkocht statuses show which cars actually leave the forecourt and at what last price, not only which ones are listed.
• VAT and margin mixThe split between VAT-deductible and margin cars matters to business buyers and exporters, and here it is a column, not a guess.
• Used EV valuesBattery capacity, practical range and state-of-health notes in dealer headlines feed valuation models for second-hand electric cars.
• Dealer profilesDealer type, BOVAG membership, stock size and the share of cars with NAP or a vehicle report describe each dealer in numbers.
• Running-cost modelsRoad tax per quarter, energy label and consumption make total cost comparisons possible without a second source.
