What you can do
Browse inventory
Filter the live catalog by make, model, year, mileage, price, auction-house, accident grade, and more. Returns landed-cost estimates per vehicle.
Watch buying conditions
Save dealer buying briefs and receive alerts when new matches, price drops, repeat listings, or removals appear.
Place orders
Commit to a vehicle on behalf of your dealer with a bid ceiling. LMN handles bidding/purchasing on your behalf.
Receive webhooks
Real-time event notifications for order state changes and Eagle Eye watch activity.
Push fulfillment
Confirm post-departure events (in transit, customs, delivered) to close the loop.
Operational boundary
LMN handles inventory aggregation, bidding/purchasing, Korean-side export logistics, and vessel loading. Partners handle dealer identity & KYC, ocean freight booking after vessel handoff, destination customs, and local delivery. See conventions for the full split.Money model
No upfront deposits. Order creation is a bid commitment, not a payment. Payment owed only onsecured (auction win), wire transfer same US business day. Partner-to-dealer payment arrangements are entirely outside this API.
