What It's Actually Worth

Blended value of a standard 30 yr, 100k mi example, ~$70.8K 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? 76% 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 17 scored forecasts: 76% got the direction right, median value error ±46%.

Auction Scorecard gavel in range 8 in 10

We replayed 41 past auctions in this market — predicting each hammer price from market data before the sale (no hindsight). Typical miss: ±15%; the gavel landed inside our predicted range 8 in 10 of the time, and we lean slightly low on average.

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 (low conviction — 1% of weighted drivers agree), driven mainly by Housing Starts and Silver, though Silver points the other way.

Are the indicators agreeing?

Each bar is one driver's current push; longer = more weight. All one side = high conviction; split = low.

If You’d Bought in 2020

Lost ground to inflation. The Audi RS2 roughly 1.2×'d your money (a real 5% LOSS to inflation). It LAGGED the stock market by about 57% — the same money in the S&P 500 would be larger. It trailed housing (-21%). (Price only — a real round-trip also loses ~10–20% to buy/sell fees and carrying costs.)
