There’s a company called RL Polk that Hoovers up basically everything you could imagine about car sales and resells that information for very high prices. Don’t know where they get their data but they have a row of data for each car sold.
- dillonmckay 6y agoI would guess vehicle registrations is where they are obtaining the data from.
- dotnetdev6 6y agoMy company Cross-Sell Reports does the same thing. We buy the registration data from each state. But it's a job to secure contracts from each states DMV. Sort of like securing licensing from nba or mlb teams.
- jeegsy 6y agoIs the government allowed to sell that data?
- dotnetdev6 6y agoYeah they are.
- dillonmckay 6y agoThere were quite a few articles. I believe maybe half of US states sell driver’s license data, including photos. https://www.newsweek.com/dmv-drivers-license-data-database-integrity-department-motor-vehicles-1458141 https://www.newsweek.com/dmv-drivers-license-data-database-i...
