What It's Actually Worth

Blended value of a standard 45 yr, 47k mi example, ~$172K 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.

A genuinely strong investment. The BMW 3.0 CSL roughly 8.0×'d your money (a real, inflation-adjusted 5.7× gain). It actually BEAT the S&P 500 by about 64%. It beat housing (+296%). (Price only — a real round-trip also loses ~10–20% to buy/sell fees and carrying costs.)
