What It's Actually Worth

Blended value of a standard 10 yr, 67k mi example, ~$23.5K 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.

Lead Indicator Forecast

Some indicators move before this market does. Gold (futures) has historically led it by about 23 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.

$22.6K now +23mo 2021-09 $34.9K $22.2K
BECAUSE gold rose 66%. THEREFORE, given its usual 23-month head start, we lean DOWN — about −4% (≈ −$896) over the next 23 months. Confidence: Moderate (correlation +0.84, 23 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 higher over the next ~12 months (high conviction — 100% of weighted drivers agree), driven mainly by Advance Retail Sales and US Regular Gas Price.

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

Lost ground to inflation. The Audi S6 (C7) roughly 0.7×'d your money (a real 42% LOSS to inflation). It LAGGED the stock market by about 63% — the same money in the S&P 500 would be larger. It trailed housing (-42%). (Price only — a real round-trip also loses ~10–20% to buy/sell fees and carrying costs.)
