What It's Actually Worth

Blended value of a standard 3 yr, 1k mi example, ~$78.6K 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. Housing Starts has historically led it by about 20 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.

$75.5K now +20mo 2021-03 $106K $74.0K
BECAUSE Housing Starts fell 15%. THEREFORE, given its usual 20-month head start, we lean DOWN — about −4% (≈ −$3,089) over the next 20 months. Confidence: Moderate (correlation +0.54, 29 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 — 50% of weighted drivers agree), driven mainly by Housing Starts and Personal Savings Rate, though Unemployment Rate points the other way.

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

Lost ground to inflation. The Dodge Challenger (2008-2023) Widebody roughly 0.8×'d your money (a real 34% LOSS to inflation). It LAGGED the stock market by about 61% — the same money in the S&P 500 would be larger. It trailed housing (-40%). (Price only — a real round-trip also loses ~10–20% to buy/sell fees and carrying costs.)
