Terms of use.

Coast of Cars is a free, non-commercial reference to the vehicles registered in California.

The data

The public records and individual facts behind this site belong to their sources, and we do not claim them. About the data names each source and its limits. The site's own writing, charts, illustrations and cards are ours.

Sharing with credit

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

This permission does not cover new-registration figures from California Auto Outlook, on the trends page and the new-registration model pages. Ask their publisher to reuse them.

Names and pictures

Make and model names belong to their owners and appear here only to identify the vehicles the data describes. Illustrations represent a make, a model family or a class. No maker sponsors or approves this site, and it has no tie to the agencies that publish the data.

Accuracy

The site is general information, provided as is, with no warranty. Public records can be incomplete, late or wrong, and a printed count can be lower than the real one. Check the source before you rely on a figure for a legal, financial or safety decision.

Liability

To the extent the law allows, Coast of Cars and its contributors are not liable for loss that comes from using the site or relying on its content.

Changes

We can change these terms or the site at any time, and the site can go offline.
