How the index is made
Every day at 05:30 Dryv reads the new car specials that each of its client dealerships publishes on its own website. A special that the dealer removes, or whose end date passes, drops out the same day. Demo cars, used cars, service offers and competitions are not counted.
A special offered by several branches of one group is counted once as an offer and once per branch when counting dealerships. Models are ranked by how many dealerships advertise them, so a dealership that lists every derivative cannot tip the ranking.
A saving is counted only where a cash special prints both its price and a was-price. On an instalment special the dealer's quoted retail price is the car's list price, not a discount, so it is never counted as a saving.
A brand counts as Chinese when the company that owns it is headquartered in China: MG counts, Volvo does not.
These figures describe the dealerships Dryv reads, not the whole South African market. The current month's edition updates daily; once a month ends its edition is frozen and never changes.
