Used-car asking prices in Saudi Arabia fell 2.0% between 28 September 2026 and 5 October 2026, measured across 1,388 matched cohorts — the same model, year and trim compared between two readings of the market. That is in step with the 30-day read (−2.3% across 1,305 cohorts).
In the seven days to 5 October 2026, 21,078 new listings appeared while 1,906 cars were confirmed or likely sold: more cars arrived than left, so choice is widening and sellers are competing for buyers. The live catalogue stands at 44,777 active listings. On the last 90 days, the typical car takes about 38 days to sell (an estimate from observed removals, not confirmed sales).
Haval (+1.9%) firmed, while Chevrolet (−3.7%), Kia (−3.3%), Hyundai (−2.9%) softened — moves among the largest makes are measured on matched cohorts only, so a make with fewer than ten is never quoted.
The biggest cut in the seven days to 5 October 2026: 2009 Chevrolet Epica, from SAR 12,000 to SAR 10,000 (−16.7%) against a typical SAR 9,000 for its cohort. The table below lists the 5 largest drops observed over seven days.
The fastest-selling models over the last 30 days: Toyota Yaris (123), Toyota Corolla (121), Hyundai Accent (114) — sales are observed removals classed as confirmed or likely sold, not dealer-reported figures.
For a buyer: a week that tilts slightly your way — check every listing against its cohort's typical price before negotiating, and start with the price-drops list.

How these numbers are made
This note is published automatically every week from the listings we collect: the price index compares each matched cohort's median asking price (same model, year and trim) between two readings; sales are observed removals classed as confirmed or likely sold; cuts are changes to a listing's own asking price. A week without enough data is not published, and a note is never edited after it goes out.
