What It's Actually Worth
Blended value of a standard 52 yr, 34k mi example, ~$30.7K 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.

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 133 scored forecasts: 58% got the direction right, median value error ±15%.
