What It's Actually Worth

Blended value of a standard 2 yr, 1k mi example, ~$128K 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.

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.

Lead Indicator Forecast

Some indicators move before this market does. Unemployment Rate has historically led it by about 23 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.

$123K now +23mo 2023-02 $262K $122K
BECAUSE Unemployment Rate rose 2%. THEREFORE, given its usual 23-month head start, we lean DOWN — about −4% (≈ −$5,022) over the next 23 months. Confidence: Moderate (correlation +0.93, 19 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 (high conviction — 100% of weighted drivers agree), driven mainly by Gold (futures) and Nonfarm Payrolls (jobs).

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

If You’d Bought in 2023

$100K invested 2023-02 → today (3.4 yrs), this car vs where else you could've put the money. Rebased to 100 at the start; the dashed line is inflation (break-even).

Lost ground to inflation. The Chevrolet Corvette C8 Z06 roughly 0.5×'d your money (a real 56% LOSS to inflation). It LAGGED the stock market by about 76% — the same money in the S&P 500 would be larger. It trailed housing (-57%). (Price only — a real round-trip also loses ~10–20% to buy/sell fees and carrying costs.)
