What It's Actually Worth

Blended value of a standard 13 yr, 44k mi example, ~$39.5K 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. Bitcoin (USD) has historically led it by about 3 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.

$39.4K now +3mo 2013-05 $69.4K $32.7K
BECAUSE bitcoin fell 14%. THEREFORE, given its usual 3-month head start, we expect little change — about −0% (≈ −$93) over the next 3 months. Confidence: High (correlation +0.68, 65 months overlap).

If You’d Bought in 2013

$100K invested 2013-05 → today (13.2 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 Cadillac CTS-V (2nd Gen) roughly 0.6×'d your money (a real 58% 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 (-72%). (Price only — a real round-trip also loses ~10–20% to buy/sell fees and carrying costs.)
