What It's Actually Worth

Blended value of a standard 7 yr, 8k mi example, ~$261K 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.

Did our model work? 50% direction calls right

Each faint amber line is a forecast we would have made at that point in the past (12-mo horizon), drawn against what actually happened (blue). Over 36 scored forecasts: 50% got the direction right, median value error ±33%.

No-lookahead: predictions are made before each auction closes; the scorecard grades confirmed sold auctions only (no-sales excluded). A modeled estimate, not a guarantee. Data-backed market intelligence, not a guaranteed prediction. Figures are modeled estimates from asking prices, sold comps, and public economic indicators; they can be wrong. Not financial advice.

Lead Indicator Forecast

Some indicators move before this market does. Ethereum (USD) has historically led it by about 12 months — so its recent move implies where prices head next (dashed). The solid green line is actual value through today; the shaded path is what the lead implies.

$258K now +12mo 2019-08 $435K $213K
BECAUSE Ethereum (USD) fell 33%. THEREFORE, given its usual 12-month head start, we lean DOWN — about −1% (≈ −$2,545) over the next 12 months. Confidence: Moderate (correlation +0.55, 39 months overlap).

If You’d Bought in 2019

$100K invested 2019-08 → today (6.8 yrs), this car vs where else you could've put the money. Rebased to 100 at the start; the dashed line is inflation (break-even).

Lost ground to inflation. The Ferrari 488 roughly 0.6×'d your money (a real 54% LOSS to inflation). It LAGGED the stock market by about 79% — the same money in the S&P 500 would be larger. It trailed housing (-61%). (Price only — a real round-trip also loses ~10–20% to buy/sell fees and carrying costs.)
