Traders and buyers
Search the market with every listing rated against its own market, then see the most you can pay before you ring the seller. Each figure says how much evidence stands behind it, and how long similar cars took to sell.
The job, in your words
What makes it hard
Ads show what sellers hope for. A very cheap one can be a deposit, a monthly price or a different car.
Three similar ads and thirty look the same on a listing site, but they don't deserve the same confidence.
Holding a car costs you daily, and the age of ads still for sale says little about how fast cars actually sell.
Maximum buy price
Work back from the expected sale: target profit, reconditioning, fees, holding and VAT. Switch to the wholesale route, change the VAT treatment or test an offer, and watch the verdict move.

How the maximum buy price is built
Profit at this offer AED 23,242
DealRevs recommends
Buy it. Offer AED 206,000, go up to AED 210,300.
At AED 206,000 the car should make AED 23,242 after reconditioning, fees, holding and VAT if it sells near the expected price in about 28 days. You can move up to AED 210,300 before it stops meeting your target.
Evidence, graded
Every price says how many comparable cars stand behind it. When there are too few, the listing isn't rated, a person confirms the expected sale price, and days to sell fall back to your default.

A day with DealRevs
A sample day for Vikram Rao, the buyer at Sandstone Auto Group, a fictional dealer group: from this morning's market to an approved offer on a car the group lacks.
06:00
Market agent
About 200,000 UAE listings, cleaned and published as one snapshot. Listings that left the market are recorded, so selling times come from cars that actually went.
08:30
Vikram Rao Buyer · Sandstone Auto Group
Offers waiting, cars bought in 30 days, aged capital and the fast sellers the group lacks. No customer names.
Aged capital is the cost of 3 cars over 60 days.

Vikram Rao Buyer
“patrol 2019+ under 180k gcc” finds 86 listings, each rated against its own market. At the top, best deal first: a 2020 LE Platinum listed at AED 172,000.
08:46
Valuation agent
Vikram picks the car from the catalogue, because ad VINs never leave the server. A quick valuation doesn't know the VAT treatment, so it is priced cautiously.
Based on 9 similar cars that left the market.
08:52
Vikram Rao Buyer
A great deal for a retail buyer is still AED 10,000 more than he can pay. Seller details stay on the listing site, so he calls from there and arranges to see the car.
09:05
Vikram Rao Buyer
The LE Titanium has only 3 comparables, so it isn't rated and any price would need his own confirmation. The AED 99,000 LE is far under its market: often a deposit, a monthly price or a different car.

Vikram Rao Buyer
He sees every appraisal in the group and what each car would cost, including APR-0381, approved at 09:42. Customer names are left out, and phone numbers are masked.

Vikram Rao Buyer · at the seller's
The VIN confirms the trim. The seller's margin-scheme evidence moves VAT onto the margin, so the most he can pay rises to AED 170,200. The seller asks AED 168,000.
Buy · the offer is within your maximum.

AED 168,000 is over a manager's AED 150,000 limit, so the High-value offers policy sends it to Faisal Rahimi. Nobody decides their own request.

Seeing the frozen offer, the market evidence and Vikram's photos. The offer is ready to present to the seller, valid for seven days.
The agents that matter most
Four of the six agents carry a car from a listing to stock.
About 200,000 UAE listings at 06:00, cleaned, with the cars that left the market recorded. Market search rates every listing against its own market.
The expected sale worked back to a maximum buy price and an opening offer, on the retail or the wholesale route, with the evidence graded.
The VIN, the photos, the condition and the seller's VAT evidence on a phone, saving as it goes.
Each car checked against its own market every morning, with one next step and the reasons behind it.
Who does what
Questions
No. The wholesale route only prices an offer, using your wholesale assumptions: about 88% of the expected sale, a 2% auction fee plus AED 500 transport, cash in about 7 days and a 3% target. Where and how you sell the car is up to you.
Each listing is compared with the median of its own comparables in this morning's snapshot: Great deal at 10% or more under, Good deal 3% to 10% under, Fair within 3%, Above market 3% to 10% over, and High at 10% or more over. With fewer than 5 comparables, a listing is not rated.
The ad is 40% or more under its market. That is often a deposit, a monthly price or a different car, so it is flagged rather than shown as a bargain.
From similar cars that left the market: ads missing from two complete daily snapshots in a row, not counting relists, site outages or a feed that shrank by more than 30%. That is a sign of a sale, not proof. Without enough of them, your default of 45 days applies. It never uses the age of ads still for sale.
No. Seller names and ad VINs never leave our server, so you contact the seller on the listing site. To value the car first, pick it from the catalogue; its VIN is checked when you appraise it.
Not under the default policies, which send every offer to a manager or the owner. A buyer's approval limit is AED 100,000 by default, and owners and group admins can name buyers in a policy's steps. Buyers see every appraisal and its costs, but never customer contact details.
