medium confidence. Based on 559 comparable foreign listings, pooled across the whole brand rather than this specific model (fewer listings meant we had to borrow the brand's overall price pattern). The final number is adjusted with a correction factor of 0.34x found by checking a sample of Danish asking prices against our raw estimate. Read more on the methodology page.

How sure are we about reliability?

high confidence (two sources, 0.23 standard deviations apart). UK and Norwegian tests broadly agree for this model and age band, which makes this figure more trustworthy than either country could give alone. Read more on the methodology page.
