What It's Actually Worth

Blended value of a standard 5 yr, 18k mi example, ~$49.2K 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.

No-lookahead: predictions are made before each auction closes; the scorecard grades confirmed sold auctions only (no-sales excluded). A modeled estimate, not a guarantee.

Lead Indicator Forecast

Some indicators move before this market does. Case-Shiller National Home Price has historically led it by about 2 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.

$49.2K now +2mo 2021-02 $53.3K $42.4K
BECAUSE home prices rose 2%. THEREFORE, given its usual 2-month head start, we expect little change — about +0% (≈ +$5) over the next 2 months. Confidence: High (correlation +0.65, 54 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 (low conviction — 23% of weighted drivers agree), driven mainly by Case-Shiller Home Price and LVMH (luxury proxy ADR), though Case-Shiller Home Price points the other way.

Trend and leading indicators agree — both point up. Higher-conviction read.

If You’d Bought in 2021

$100K invested 2021-02 → today (5.4 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).

Lost ground to inflation. The BMW M2 roughly 1.2×'d your money (a real 9% LOSS to inflation). It LAGGED the stock market by about 47% — the same money in the S&P 500 would be larger. It trailed housing (-17%). (Price only — a real round-trip also loses ~10–20% to buy/sell fees and carrying costs.)
