Classified as “sale” when removed from the Internet
On the other hand, the business intelligence set consisting of the combination of machine learning, artificial intelligence, and big data analyzes more than 450 thousand used vehicle data daily by scanning the used online vehicle market in Indicata, Turkey.
While the sales data in the report are based on the advertisements posted on the online market by institutions and organizations engaged in second-hand trade, these data do not contain data on individual vehicle advertisements.
On the online platform, second-hand trading institutions withdraw the advertisements of the vehicles they offer for two reasons. First, they revise the prices of the vehicles in the advertisement according to the changing market conditions and publish the advertisement again. When these advertisements are published again, it is followed by Indicata.
Second, the trading institution withdraws from the advertisement because it sells the vehicle and publishes the advertisement of a vehicle that it will offer for resale. This second group of vehicle advertisements, that is, vehicles that are completely removed from the advertisement are considered as sales.
