What It's Actually Worth

Blended value of a standard 23 yr, 40k mi example, ~$27.3K 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.

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.

$27.0K now +12mo 2018-01 $28.8K $9.6K
BECAUSE Ethereum (USD) fell 33%. THEREFORE, given its usual 12-month head start, we lean DOWN — about −1% (≈ −$263) over the next 12 months. Confidence: Moderate (correlation +0.54, 42 months overlap).

Crystal Ball — What Leading Indicators Signal

Distinct from the trend forecast above: this blends all 8 leading indicators (each at its own lead time, de-duplicated so correlated ones don't double-count) into one signal. Leading indicators are collectively signaling lower over the next ~12 months (moderate conviction — 48% of weighted drivers agree), driven mainly by Ethereum (USD) and LVMH (luxury proxy ADR), though LVMH (luxury proxy ADR) points the other way.

⚠ The price trend and leading indicators disagree — momentum may be running ahead of the fundamentals.

If You’d Bought in 2018

A genuinely strong investment. The Honda S2000 (AP1) roughly 2.8×'d your money (a real, inflation-adjusted 2.1× gain). It LAGGED the stock market by about 9% — the same money in the S&P 500 would be larger. It beat housing (+68%). (Price only — a real round-trip also loses ~10–20% to buy/sell fees and carrying costs.)
