CarDatabases (cardatabases.com) — VIN-keyed salvage-auction record API with a per-VIN re-auction chain. Each sale record carries: sale status and realised price, lot number, keys/runs-and-drives/engine-starts flags, title type and issuing state, primary and secondary damage codes, odometer, estimated repair cost, estimated retail value, damage ratio, body style, colour, fuel type and drivetrain, seller type (named insurance carrier vs non-insurance company), auction date, yard location and buyer country, plus signed-URL lot photographs.

Cardatabases offers (Alternative, Price, Reference, Supply Chain) — Described as 'millions of comprehensive historical records' from Copart and IAAI, each carrying a multi-field sale record, an N-appearance listing-history chain and 10+ lot photographs — the re-auction chain is the scarce component, since most salvage datasets store one row per lot rather than the full resale sequence per VIN.

Total-loss threshold calibration from the repair-cost-versus-realised-price gap (the sample shows $45,968 estimated repair against a $10,100 sale); salvage repricing and price-discovery models on repeated-appearance chains, which reveal true market clearing rather than a single ask; insurer-vs-channel seller behaviour and disposition comparison; time-to-liquidation and yard-level demand modelling; electric-vehicle salvage pricing once filtered on fuel type; rebuilt-vehicle and fraud detection from VIN reappearance patterns; vehicle-history report enrichment; and training damage-classification vision models on the lot imagery
