Terms of Service

Last updated 31 July 2026

1. What this site is

Car Market Insider publishes an editorial guide to the Monterey Car Week live auctions for reference purposes only. By using the site you agree to these terms. If you do not agree, please do not use the site.

2. Information, not advice

Everything here is published for general information and editorial interest. Nothing on this site is financial, investment, tax, legal or appraisal advice, and nothing here is an offer, solicitation or recommendation to buy or sell any vehicle. Collector cars are illiquid assets and estimates are not valuations.

3. Source of the data

Lot descriptions, estimates, specifications, images and sale results are aggregated from the auction houses' own public catalogues and listings on the date noted for each lot, together with our own editorial commentary. Catalogues change: lots are added, withdrawn, re-estimated and re-catalogued, and our copy may lag behind.

4. No guarantee of accuracy

We make a genuine effort to be accurate, but we do not warrant that any figure, date, lot number, specification or result on this site is complete, current or error-free. Buyer's premium calculations shown here are estimates based on published fee schedules and may not reflect the fees, taxes or charges actually applied to a sale.

Always verify lot details, terms and fees directly with the auction house before bidding or purchasing. See our Disclaimer.

5. We are not a party to any transaction

Car Market Insider does not sell vehicles, does not broker sales, does not take bids and is not an agent of any buyer, seller or auction house. Any transaction you enter into is solely between you and the relevant auction house or counterparty.

6. Provided “as is”

The site and its content are provided on an “as is” and “as available” basis, without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose and non-infringement, to the fullest extent permitted by law.

7. Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, carmarketinsider.com and its contributors will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential or punitive damages, or for any loss of profits, bidding losses, purchase decisions or lost opportunity, arising out of your use of, or reliance on, this site.

8. Intellectual property

Our editorial writing, rankings, tiering and page design belong to carmarketinsider.com. Vehicle images and catalogue text remain the property of the respective auction houses, photographers or rights holders and are shown here for reportage and reference. If you hold rights in material shown here and want it removed, contact us at carmarketinsider@gmail.com.

9. Changes and corrections

Content, data and these terms may change or be corrected at any time without notice. We may also suspend or discontinue any part of the site.
