Blended value of a standard 1 yr, 1k mi example, ~$86.1K 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.
We're currently tracking 3 open auctions in this market. Here's our predicted hammer range for each — check back after they close.

No-lookahead: predictions are made before each auction closes; the scorecard grades confirmed sold auctions only (no-sales excluded). A modeled estimate, not a guarantee. Data-backed market intelligence, not a guaranteed prediction. Figures are modeled estimates from asking prices, sold comps, and public economic indicators; they can be wrong. Not financial advice.

If You’d Bought in 2024

Lost ground to inflation. The Chevrolet Corvette C8 E-Ray roughly 0.6×'d your money (a real 42% LOSS to inflation).

(Price only — a real round-trip also loses ~10–20% to buy/sell fees and carrying costs.)
