Tracking international car prices: How do you scrape/compare
Discussion
Hi everyone,
I’ve been trying to track down price discrepancies for certain models across different European and North American markets (mostly comparing UK, US, and German listings). Manual searching gets repetitive pretty quickly, especially when deal-hunting or trying to spot wider market trends.Lately, I’ve been testing automated data collection using open-source tools like Yozh Scraper alongside Python to aggregate local market listings and bypass basic geo-restrictions without getting rate-limited.
It has been working quite well to pull real-time data, but I’m curious how others here approach this:
Are you using any specific tools or aggregator sites to monitor overseas prices?
Do you rely purely on manual checks on local classifieds (Mobile.de, AutoTrader, Bring a Trailer, etc.)?
Would love to hear how you keep tabs on regional car valuations!
