KNOWN known: checked sources agree, and it applies to a GCC carMEASURED we measured this ourselves from live UAE listingsSUPPORTED it has a source, but nobody else has confirmed it yet. A claim, not a fact.UNCERTAIN there is a sign, but not enough proof for us to use itUNKNOWN we do not know, and we will not guess
Every line above carries one of UNKNOWN / UNCERTAIN / SUPPORTED / MEASURED / KNOWN. Prices are asking prices from live UAE listings, not completed sales. Knowledge is only used when it is sourced and its applicability reaches a GCC car; anything scoped to another market is listed separately and is not used.
