What It's Actually Worth

Blended value of a standard 65 yr, 20k mi example, ~$75.9K 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.

Lead Indicator Forecast

Some indicators move before this market does. High-Yield Bond Spread has historically led it by about 8 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.

$75.9K now +8mo 2003-08 $105K $40.7K
BECAUSE credit spreads fell 4%. THEREFORE, given its usual 8-month head start, we expect little change — about −0% (≈ −$40) over the next 8 months. Confidence: Moderate (correlation +0.41, 20 months overlap).

If You’d Bought in 2003

$100K invested 2003-08 → today (23.0 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).

$123K$246K 2003 2026 246 100
━ This car $123K━ Housing $246K
Lost ground to inflation. The Chevrolet C1 Corvette roughly 1.2×'d your money (a real 32% LOSS to inflation). It trailed housing (-50%). (Price only — a real round-trip also loses ~10–20% to buy/sell fees and carrying costs.)
