2016 Hyundai Santa Fe.

About this file

This is the 2016 Hyundai Santa Fe shelf of the registry: 1,021 records of one model year, cut from the 6,965 Hyundai Santa Fe records the archive holds in total. One model year is the unit these cars are actually compared in — the same body, the same engines, the same wear — so reading them together is reading a cohort rather than a marque. Each record is kept exactly as it was filed: the photographs where photographs were taken, the odometer reading, the fuel and displacement, the damage class the listing itself stated, and — on 600 of these cars — a VIN that can be read, decoded and checked against the car's paper trail.

A record with no damage stamp is a record whose listing stated no damage class — not proof of a clean car — and we hold no price data to put beside it. The top of this shelf keeps moving: live 2016 Hyundai Santa Fe lots surface here while the hammer is still up — one is on the block right now — and move into the permanent record when it falls.
