Why it is different
Spotlot monitors the whole market, every day.
No public source confirms a sale. Spotlot catches it because it was already re-reading the page: every ask, every cut, and the day the car comes down, since 10 August 2026.
That record cannot be bought or back-filled by anyone starting later.

Data integrity
Every figure carries its evidence.
- —
Counted, never estimated. A valuation shows its comparables; a sale is proved or it is not counted.
- —
Coverage is stated, never implied. Which sites are in, which refuse us, and why, on one page.
- —
Its own mistakes are published. The data-quality log holds 65 entries: what reached the database, why, and what now prevents it.
- —
One polite crawler. It names itself, honours robots.txt and gets around nothing.
How a sale is proved
cars, last 7 days
- The seller's own SOLD notice8,323
- The page gone: a 404 or 410767
- Left without proof: an exit, never a sale2,731 · not counted
Two kinds of proof count. A car that simply vanishes is the weakest evidence there is, so it is recorded and set aside.
For dealerships
Your yard, measured.
A yard knows what is standing and what it cost. It cannot see where its asks sit against the same cars across town, how long they take against the market, or how it compares with the yards around it.
Spotlot can, because it was already watching all of them.
Reviewed by hand, because it opens a named yard. Free.

The deal
Free.Funded by donations.
No paywall, no advertising, no data for sale, and no plan to change that. A public record behind a paywall is not a public record.
Why an account, then?
Things that are yours. A watchlist, and the cars you have priced.
Lookups that cost money. A registration lookup bills us per plate.
So we can tell you what changed. The record deepens daily; an account is how we say so.
