Ferrari California T
Due to a thin data state, this read for the Ferrari California T market is low-confidence. Forecasts indicate a potential upward direction over 6, 12, and 24 months, with probabilities of 0.51, 0.52, and 0.54 respectively, within a volatile regime. Current scores reflect depreciation risk at 55.36, liquidity at 36.11, and appreciation momentum at 43.79, while the U. Michigan Consumer Sentiment, with a correlation of 0.68 and a 12-month lead, is identified as the strongest leading indicator.
What It's Actually Worth
Blended value of a standard 9 yr, 16k mi example, ~$120K 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? 58% 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 36 scored forecasts: 58% got the direction right, median value error ±18%.

Lead Indicator Forecast
Some indicators move before this market does. U. Michigan Consumer Sentiment has historically led it by about 12 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.
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 lower over the next ~12 months (high conviction — 100% of weighted drivers agree), driven mainly by U. Michigan Consumer Sentiment and WTI Crude Oil.
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 2018
$100K invested 2018-01 → today (8.6 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).
