What does Future / Upcoming mean?

The lot is scheduled for an auction that has not happened yet.

What it means

Future or upcoming lots are listed with a sale date ahead, or without a date yet. They are open for preliminary bids and for viewing at the yard. Details such as damage and photos can be updated before the sale.

What it means for a buyer

This is the time to research: check the VIN, decode it, look for recalls and ask a broker for an inspection or extra photos. Prices you see on future lots are bids or buy-now offers, not results.
