About Encar
Encar (encar.com) is the largest used car sales site in South Korea, with dealers and private sellers listing cars from every Korean and imported brand. It is not an auction: cars are sold at a fixed asking price.
Through our marketplace API you get each Encar car with its asking price in won, mileage, photos, factory options, the performance check report and the insurance history where Encar has them. Korean text such as 2,790만원 or 21/03식 arrives as plain numbers and dates.
Import businessesFind cars for clients abroad with photos, reports and prices.
Price comparisonCompare prices and mileage across many sites at once.
Your own catalogShow the cars on your site in your language and currency.
Questions about the Encar API

Yes, as whole numbers in KRW, exactly as on Encar. Our public exchange rate helps you show them in dollars.
No. Encar is a car sales site with fixed asking prices, so its records have a price and its history, not bids.
No. AuctionsAPI is an independent service and is not affiliated with Encar. We collect publicly available data from encar.com and deliver it through our own API, in the same format as every other source.
