Method: median asking price of the distinct cars listed for the same make, model and year (a car advertised on several sites counts once), at least 6 cars per market, converted to USD at the fixed GCC currency pegs. Used cars only: a model year is left out when more than 25% of its cars in any of the three markets are listed as new. As of 2026-10-02. Individual cars vary by mileage, condition and specification — this is a market-level comparison, not a quote for a specific car.
