What It's Actually Worth

Blended value of a standard 17 yr, 18k mi example, ~$52.4K 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.

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 — 78% of weighted drivers agree), driven mainly by U. Michigan Consumer Sentiment and Gold (futures), though High-Yield Bond Spread points the other way.

Trend and leading indicators agree — both point up. Higher-conviction read.

Lost ground to inflation. The Chevrolet Corvette C6 Z06 roughly 0.7×'d your money (a real 52% LOSS to inflation). It LAGGED the stock market by about 90% — the same money in the S&P 500 would be larger. It trailed housing (-71%). (Price only — a real round-trip also loses ~10–20% to buy/sell fees and carrying costs.)
