GET/api/v1/valuation

Market valuation for a specific car — new price, current market range, and how much to trust it.

Parameters

plateMalaysian plate number, e.g. WPH925. Use this or the NVIC set below.
nvicVehicle code. Matched exactly when it is known; when it is not, the lookup falls back to make + year + model — see the caveat below.
makeManufacturer, e.g. Honda. Required with nvic.
yearRegistration year, e.g. 2020. Required with nvic.
modelModel name, e.g. City. Required with nvic in practice — validation does not enforce it, but the fallback cannot run without it and the request returns 404.

isSpecialVariantbooleanTrue for a top/rare trim whose value generic model listings do not represent.
marketCohortstringWhich listing cohort the market figures describe.
matchedBystringnvic | make_year_model — whether the nvic matched a vehicle exactly, or these figures describe the cheapest variant of that make/year/model instead.
GET/api/v1/variants/{make}/{model}

Variant ladder for a supported model — which trim is which, and what to inspect on each.

Reading the data correctly

  • Check confidence and marketCohort before quoting any price. A marketCohort of mixed_variants means the figures span several variants of the model — they are not that exact variant's price.
  • isSpecialVariant: true means generic listings for the model are not valid comparables for it.
  • wmNewPrice is the original new price, not the current value.
  • A result is not proof the nvic matched. When it does not, the lookup falls back to make + year + model and returns the cheapest variant for that combination — still HTTP 200. Read matchedBy: make_year_model means the figures describe the entry-level trim of that model-year, not the car you asked about.
  • Market figures come from live listings and move over time — they are not fixed or official prices.
  • All prices are in Malaysian Ringgit (RM) and reflect the West Malaysia market.

Limitations

  • Paqar is not a government platform and is not affiliated with JPJ or PDRM.
  • Paqar does not verify odometer readings or real mileage.
  • Data is an estimate to support a buying decision — not an official valuation or inspection.
