What It's Actually Worth

Blended value of a standard 52 yr, 33k mi example, ~$57.2K 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.

Lead Indicator Forecast

Some indicators move before this market does. 2-Year Treasury Yield has historically led it by about 9 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.

$57.1K now +9mo 2012-12 $64.8K $20.6K
BECAUSE 2-Year Treasury Yield rose 27%. THEREFORE, given its usual 9-month head start, we expect little change — about −0% (≈ −$75) over the next 9 months. Confidence: Moderate (correlation -0.53, 47 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 (moderate conviction — 53% of weighted drivers agree), driven mainly by 2-Year Treasury Yield and Silver, though Ethereum (USD) points the other way.

⚠ The price trend and leading indicators disagree — momentum may be running ahead of the fundamentals.
