Tools
searchSearch cars and services- Find a brand, model, trim or repair service by name or plain words and get its page id plus the typed tool and arguments that hold its figures. Start here when you do not know the slug. Every hit links to a page that exists.
fetchOne page, as text- Retrieve a page by a search hit's id or any URL on this site, as text built from the same figures the page renders: brand, new-car, trim, used-value, rental and repair pages, and the methodology.
list_brandsList car brands- Every brand covered, one row each: UAE distributor, model count, the cheapest entry list price on sale, and its value-retention and service-cost tiers. Then call get_brand.
get_brandOne brand- One brand's UAE distributor, every model with its segment and entry list price, discontinued models that keep used values, and what servicing it costs at a dealer versus an independent garage.
list_modelsFind models- Filter models by brand, segment and entry list price (AED), cheapest first. Models no longer sold new are left out unless include_discontinued is true. Use it for "SUVs under AED 150,000" style questions, then get_new_car_price for trims.
get_new_car_priceNew car list prices- A model's UAE list prices trim by trim (AED, VAT inclusive, as published), each with its source URL, source type and the date it was checked, plus the model years sold and the nearest same-segment rivals. A list price is the published starting price, not a dealer's negotiated price; registration, insurance and options are extra.
get_used_valueUsed car value- A modelled used value for a model year: low, fair and high in AED at typical or a given mileage, with the low/typical/high mileage bands. Without a year, the year-by-year table. Modelled from the entry trim's list price and a depreciation curve, not from observed listings: a guide to a fair range, not a valuation of a specific car's condition, history or spec.
check_asking_priceCheck an asking price- Compare a seller's asking price with the modelled fair range for that model year and mileage. Returns a verdict (below, within, above or well above the fair range), the gap to the fair value and the range itself. The range assumes the entry trim in average condition: a higher trim, low mileage or full service history can justify a price above it.
get_rental_ratesRental rates- Typical daily, weekly and monthly rental rates in Dubai for a model (low, typical and high, AED), what one day costs on each, and the usual deposit, mileage, insurance and Salik terms. Modelled from the segment's published rental quotes and the car's list price; a rental company's own quote decides.
get_repair_costsRepair and service costs- What common services cost for a brand (minor and major service, brake pads, tyres, AC regas, battery, oil change, wheel alignment), at a dealer versus an independent garage, as AED bands, with the saving an independent garage typically offers. Bands come from published garage quotes scaled by the brand's service tier; a garage's own quote for the car decides.
compare_carsCompare cars- Two to five models side by side: entry list price, three-year value loss, typical monthly rent and the minor-service band at an independent garage. Each figure says whether it is published or modelled.
get_methodologyHow the figures are made- How list prices are sourced and how used values, rental rates and repair bands are modelled, with the parameters in force and the data date. Read before explaining why a figure is what it is.
