For journalists & researchers

This dataset is built specifically to enable independent reporting on the US used-vehicle market. Citations to specific year/make/model price points should link the source row in CSV/JSON, not a screenshot.

For higher-cadence access, custom slices, or pre-publication data verification, email press@vincheck.it.com.

The dataset excludes (year, make, model) tuples with fewer than 3 auction sales since median is unstable below that threshold.
