Open in Apify Store Example: Toyota Hilux prices and mileage in Gauteng

Get new and used car listings from Cars.co.za, South Africa's large car marketplace, as clean JSON or CSV. Each listing comes with price in Rand, year, mileage, make, model, variant, body type, transmission, fuel type, colour, province, city, dealer name and the listing link. Filter by make, model, province and maximum price.

Prices, mileage and years are read from the structured data the site itself uses, then checked for sense (price between R1,000 and R50 million, mileage up to 1.5 million km). A value that fails the check is returned as empty rather than wrong.

Pricing

You pay per listing returned, plus a tiny fee when the run starts. Platform usage is included.

Common uses

Track used car prices for a make and model over time
Build valuation or price-comparison data for the South African market
Watch dealer stock and price drops
Feed listings into a spreadsheet, CRM or alert flow

Limits

Only what the public search results show. Seller phone numbers and full descriptions are not included.
The search covers both new and used listings, as on the site.
If the site changes its layout, the scraper falls back to reading the listing cards and keeps the same sanity checks.

Run it on Apify Apify's free plan includes monthly platform credit, so small runs cost little or nothing to try.
