What It's Actually Worth
Blended value of a standard 3 yr, 1k mi example, ~$82.6K 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. CPI (All Urban Consumers) has historically led it by about 5 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.
BECAUSE CPI (All Urban Consumers) rose 1%. THEREFORE, given its usual 5-month head start, we expect little change — about +0% (≈ +$170) over the next 5 months. Confidence: High (correlation +0.59, 30 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 (high conviction — 100% of weighted drivers agree), driven mainly by Gold (futures) and CPI (All Urban Consumers).
Trend and leading indicators agree — both point up. Higher-conviction read.
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 2021
$100K invested 2021-03 → today (5.5 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).
━ This car $86.4K━ S&P 500 $213K━ Gold $255K━ Luxury $88.0K━ Housing $138K₿ Bitcoin $132K (off-scale)
Lost ground to inflation. The Dodge Challenger (2008-2023) Hellcat Redeye roughly 0.9×'d your money (a real 32% LOSS to inflation). It LAGGED the stock market by about 59% — the same money in the S&P 500 would be larger. It trailed housing (-37%). (Price only — a real round-trip also loses ~10–20% to buy/sell fees and carrying costs.)
