What It's Actually Worth
Blended value of a standard 17 yr, 59k mi example, ~$21.5K now. The green line weighs confirmed auction sales most heavily (the amber dots — what cars actually hammered for), blends in fast-selling "just-missed" listings, and lightly smooths out month-to-month composition noise.
