Field notes
The homepage separates listings by city and shows upcoming sale times, auction houses, vehicle counts, and source categories such as marshal or sheriff sales, lien sales, police auctions, and DMV sales. Its index says New York City accounts for 13,148 vehicles across 263 auctions, while several other listed regions have only a few hundred or fewer. The site says it builds from city-published lists, so coverage and lender details depend on what those notices provide.
