What It's Actually Worth

Blended value of a standard 22 yr, 26k mi example, ~$28.4K 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.
