What It's Actually Worth

Blended value of a standard 5 yr, 2k mi example, ~$51.1K 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. High-Yield Bond Spread has historically led it by about 10 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.

$51.5K now +10mo 2012-05 $115K $21.8K
BECAUSE credit spreads fell 8%. THEREFORE, given its usual 10-month head start, we lean UP — about +1% (≈ +$339) over the next 10 months. Confidence: Moderate (correlation -0.61, 18 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 lower over the next ~12 months (low conviction — 24% of weighted drivers agree), driven mainly by LVMH (luxury proxy ADR) and U. Michigan Consumer Sentiment, though 10-Year Treasury Yield 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) roughly 1.2×'d your money (a real 19% LOSS to inflation). It LAGGED the stock market by about 85% — the same money in the S&P 500 would be larger. It trailed housing (-50%). (Price only — a real round-trip also loses ~10–20% to buy/sell fees and carrying costs.)
