Methodology: median final winning bid on vehicle lots in California that closed on official United States government auction platforms over the trailing 365 days. Realised sale prices, excluding buyer's premium. No-bid lots excluded. Lots whose true hammer price we captured after close are used as-is. The rest are corrected for late bidding, by a factor measured per category against the lots where we have both figures. Updated daily.
