European car websites look alike until their data meets in one table: a Bilbasen price can be cash, leasing or trade, Otomoto quotes PLN, and Polovni automobili can print the VIN. Merged without care, one car looks cheap in one country and dear in the next.
Here are 12 of them and a way to merge their rows without counting a cross-listed car twice. The service is on our automobile data scraping page.
Readers who need the data, not the crawlers: residual value, pricing, leasing and insurance teams, importers, dealer groups and marketplaces watching rivals. We kept to classified marketplaces, one per market where possible, and left out two Dutch sites whose stock overlaps most with others here: Gaspedaal.nl indexes ads placed elsewhere, and AutoTrack belongs to the AutoScout24 group (both on our list of Dutch sites we scrape). Sites are ordered by what a data buyer gets from them, not by their quality: cross-border marketplaces, then national price verdicts, then market-specific fields.
Make, model, price, year and mileage are everywhere; their meanings are not.
AutoScout24 calls itself the largest pan-European online car market: country sites for Germany, Italy, Austria, the Netherlands, Belgium, Spain, France and Luxembourg, while autoscout24.com shows the offers of all of them in English and other interface languages. Every offer page has the same named blocks, so an Italian and a German offer fill the same columns. A row holds the asking price in euro, the VAT deductible note, the price badge from Very Good Price to Expensive Price, the Reduced label with the earlier price, mileage, first registration, power, emission class and the dealer's rating. It alone compares one model across borders in euro; fields and slices are on our AutoScout24 scraper page.
Mobile.de is Germany's largest automotive marketplace and part of the Adevinta group, with cars, motorbikes, vans and commercial vehicles from private sellers and dealers, and a source for importers across central and eastern Europe. A listing gives make, model, year, mileage, price, fuel, transmission, location, seller type, VIN status where available, equipment, posting date and listing id, with optional CO2 emissions, Euro class and previous owners, and a Reduced mark on cut prices. Prices are shown with VAT and some listings add a net price, so a German dataset needs a rule for which one goes in. It feeds German residual value models and export sourcing; see our mobile.de scraper page.
Autotrader is the UK's vehicle marketplace at autotrader.co.uk, run by Autotrader Limited, separate from the American Autotrader, with stock from trade and private sellers. Each advert, keyed on its advert id, carries the pay-in-full price, a monthly finance example and the price guide label - Lower, Great, Good, Fair or Higher price - set against Autotrader's market valuation. Mileage is in miles, and the registration year comes with its plate period instead of the plate. Road tax, insurance group and the basic history check follow, with write-offs flagged as Cat S or Cat N. Priced in pounds, it is the source for UK pricing and provenance screening; see our Autotrader UK scraper page.
La Centrale is a French marketplace for used and new vehicles run by Groupe La Centrale. Its strength is the valuation layer: La Cote values a car by version, year and mileage, and the price indicator grades most ads Très bonne affaire, Bonne affaire or Offre équitable. Ads add a short price history, a mileage check against cars of the same age, fiscal horsepower (CV), Crit'Air level and Euro standard, the number of owners and whether the car was found in French registration records. Sellers are Particulier or Professionnel, and a region filter adds Belgian and Luxembourg ads. Use it for French remarketing prices and low-emission-zone studies; see our La Centrale scraper page.
coches.net is a Spanish car marketplace in Adevinta's Spanish group, with dealer and private stock in every province. Most cards pair the asking price with a verdict - Super precio, Buen precio or Precio justo - or the Contado label for a plain cash price, and a cut shows as the old price struck through with its percentage. The IVA incluido flag, the financed price with instalment, TAE and lender, the DGT environmental label (CERO, ECO, C or B), warranty length and the Reservable flag complete the row; offer type splits used, km 0 and new. Good for Spanish dealer pricing and financed versus cash prices; see our coches.net scraper page.
Otomoto is the Polish classifieds site that OLX Group describes as the biggest place to buy cars and bikes in Poland, and a seller can push the same ad to OLX in one click. Listings are in Polish and priced in PLN, with a below, within or above average price rating, negotiability and VAT treatment: VAT invoice or margin sale. The fields follow how Poles buy used cars: country of origin, whether it is registered in Poland yet, accident-free and first-owner flags, the VIN where displayed, checkable against CEPiK data, and whether an Otomoto inspection report is attached. Use it for import flows and Polish prices against source markets; see our Otomoto scraper page.
Autovit.ro is Romania's specialist vehicle marketplace and part of OLX Group. Cards quote prices in EUR, though the financing form works in lei, and add a net amount when a company sells, with TVA deductibil and Se emite factura marking deductible VAT and an issued invoice. Most ads carry a badge: Sub medie, Conform mediei or Peste medie. Condition fields - Tara de origine, Inmatriculat, Primul proprietar, Fara accident in istoric - separate imports from local stock, and the VIN appears where the ad reveals it. A Reactualizat mark flags refreshed ads, so the page date does not show time on sale. For Romanian import and dealer prices, see our Autovit scraper page.
Bilbasen calls itself Denmark's largest marketplace for cars and lists vans, motorhomes and buses. Its price comes in three types: Kontantpris, the cash price in DKK; a monthly leasing payment marked incl. or ex. moms; and Engros/CVR trade prices for buyers with a company number, plus an Uden afgift badge for cars sold without Danish registration tax. Leasing listings add first payment, residual value, term and kilometres included; electric cars get range, battery capacity and charging power. Listings state model year, first registration month and the annual ownership tax, and dealers carry a CVR number. It serves leasing benchmarks, EV residuals and Danish trade prices; see our Bilbasen scraper page.
Nettiauto is a Finnish marketplace for new and used cars and vans, part of Alma Media, which describes it as Finland's largest car marketplace. Next to price and mileage each ad carries Katsastettu, the month of the car's last periodic inspection. Two markers change what a price means: ALV väh.kelp. (VAT deductible) and Tax free. Every result card packs model year, kilometres, fuel, gearbox and drive into one line, which we split into columns. Ads marked sold stay readable with their spec, and verified ads take vehicle details from Traficom's register. Finnish valuations and time to sell by model are the uses; our Nettiauto scraper page adds the most-viewed list, a demand signal.
Car.gr is the reference vehicle marketplace in Greece and describes itself as the country's largest classifieds platform, with cars, bikes, vans, trucks, campers and boats from private owners and a directory of dealers and businesses. Listing text is mostly Greek, though the interface switches to English. A row carries listing id, asking price and any previous price, version, registration year and month, mileage, fuel, gearbox, displacement, horsepower, emissions, equipment, region and city, publication date, seller type and the purchase and financing options on the card. Our dealer-ready datasets project follows it daily for the Greek market. It sets Greek price levels against Italy or Germany; see our Car.gr scraper page.
Carzone is an Irish marketplace in English and euro, run by Webzone Limited within Mediahuis Ireland, with mostly dealer stock. Its fields are Irish: the year with a half-year registration code that splits each model year into two cohorts, motor tax band, mileage in kilometres, NCT expiry for cars and CVRT for commercials, and a Cartell history block with imported and insurer alert flags. A price can be POA, and adverts with a lender quote add a monthly HP or PCP payment. Carzone refuses Category A and B write-offs and never prints the registration number or VIN. Irish dealer pricing and finance studies start here; our Carzone scraper page adds dealer storefronts.
Polovni automobili is a Serbian vehicle classifieds site in Latin script that, despite the name, carries new cars too. Broj šasije, the VIN, appears in plain view when the seller enters it, beside Broj oglasa, the ad number. Prices are in euros or Po dogovoru (by agreement), with a Fiksna cena flag and an estimated registration cost in dinars. Two fields belong to Serbian trade: Poreklo vozila, whether the car is to be registered in the buyer's name or has Serbian plates, and Zamena, whether a trade-in is accepted; Zemlja uvoza names the country of import. It fits import flows into Serbia and VIN-level matching; see our Polovni automobili scraper page.
We extract the data you need from any website to satisfy all your business requirements with 100% accuracy.
Key each row on site, country and listing id, never a link: autoscout24.com shows the offers of all eight country sites, and result pages repeat cars. Dealers cross-list too, so a second pass matches rows on a printed VIN, otherwise on version, first registration, mileage, price and dealer. To match the same car across countries after an import, only the VIN works.
The schema: site, country, listing id, first and last seen; price, currency, gross or net, VAT status and price type; verdict as printed; mileage in km; power in kW; seller type, dealer id and market columns such as inspection month. How often car listings should be refreshed depends on the use: daily for price history, weekly for reports, monthly for snapshots.
Our mobile.de project for residual value models settles gross and net prices for about one million German cars and vans a month: one price column and a VAT flag, the price with VAT where both are shown, VAT counted as included where none is mentioned.
In our dealer-ready datasets for a European dealer, car.gr covers Greece and autoscout24.com Italy, daily, with one field meaning the same on both portals and vehicles counted, not listings: the first full AutoScout24 set was 410,000 unique rows, and just over 400,000 rows a day reach SFTP before a 4:30 import.
ScrapeIt is a managed service: we build, run and repair the crawlers, anti-bot handling (pacing, proxy rotation, CAPTCHA handling, rendering) included. A free project assessment comes first, a sample can be ordered, field documentation comes with the dataset, and runs are one-off or on your schedule. Data comes as CSV, Excel (XLSX), JSON, JSONLines or XML, by our API, a JSON feed, SFTP or Amazon S3; an MCP server on request. Plans start from EUR 169 a month, or EUR 199 for a one-time extract.

No site covers every need. AutoScout24 and mobile.de give cross-border and German supply; Autotrader UK, La Centrale, coches.net, Otomoto and Autovit price verdicts; the other five leasing, inspection, full-spec, Irish and VIN fields.
By splitting each search by make, model, price band and region so every slice is read to its last page. Then we count unique listing ids, not links.
Listings carry a posting date. Daily runs add the first day we see each one, every price change and the day it disappears: days on market per car.
Yes. We collect only publicly available data - everything a visitor can see on the site - and we collect it legally.
More on getting data out of the sources we work with
Twelve US car websites compared as data sources, from Autotrader and CarGurus to Copart, IAA and the RV sites: what each shows, which fields need care - VIN, trim, deal labels, damage codes - and how to merge them into one dataset.
