Tracking 2 sales in the last 90 days. We'll publish a confident 12-month outlook once 3 more sales close — at this market's typical pace, that's roughly ~4 months.
What It's Actually Worth
Blended value of a standard 30 yr, 104k mi example, ~$73.6K 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.
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 18 scored forecasts: 67% got the direction right, median value error ±52%.
━ actual╱ past predictions (ghosts)
Walk-forward: each ghost uses only data available at that date — no hindsight. 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.

If You’d Bought in 2020
$100K invested 2020-02 → today (6.6 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).
━ This car $169K━ S&P 500 $291K━ Gold $279K━ Luxury $148K━ Housing $158K₿ Bitcoin $903K (off-scale)
Solid store of value, but lagged the stock market. The Audi RS2 roughly 1.7×'d your money (a real, inflation-adjusted 1.3× gain). It LAGGED the stock market by about 42% — the same money in the S&P 500 would be larger. It beat housing (+7%). (Price only — a real round-trip also loses ~10–20% to buy/sell fees and carrying costs.)
