How we read the data
Every day we collect the listings from the main used car sites in Portugal. Prices are the asking prices in the listings, not the sale prices. A car listed on several sites counts once.
A car leaves the market when its listing disappears and does not come back. We ignore days when collection failed and dealers that take down their whole stock at once. Without a large enough sample, a section is not shown.
