What you may reuse

You may quote our figures and post our charts and cards at no charge. Credit Coast of Cars and link to the page you used. If you share a card, leave it unchanged.

This permission does not cover new-registration figures from California Auto Outlook, published by the California New Car Dealers Association. They appear on the trends page and the new-registration model pages. Ask their publisher to reuse them.

Make counts are lower bounds, because the DMV pools small make groups. Quote them with "at least". The full rules are in the terms of use.
