Compare the asking price with what similar vehicles — same make, model and year, and ideally the same fuel and gearbox — are usually advertised for. On Wahanaya.lk every ad shows a price badge, and the price check shows the typical range for any model and year.

Use the price check

Open the price check, pick the make, model and year, and see the range most similar vehicles were advertised for and how prices moved over time.

Adjust for the vehicle in front of you
