What It's Actually Worth
Blended value of a standard 55 yr, 33k mi example, ~$41.1K 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? 62% 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 139 scored forecasts: 62% got the direction right, median value error ±41%.

Crystal Ball — What Leading Indicators Signal
Distinct from the trend forecast above: this blends all 6 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 — 70% of weighted drivers agree), driven mainly by US Metro Mean Temperature and LVMH (luxury proxy ADR), though Ethereum (USD) 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.
