Blended value of a standard 3 yr, 25k mi example, ~$79.4K 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.
We're currently tracking 8 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.

Lead Indicator Forecast
Some indicators move before this market does. Housing Starts has historically led it by about 14 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.
BECAUSE Housing Starts fell 13%. THEREFORE, given its usual 14-month head start, we lean DOWN — about −1% (≈ −$992) over the next 14 months. Confidence: Moderate (correlation +0.68, 18 months overlap).
If You’d Bought in 2022
$100K invested 2022-07 → today (4.0 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 Escalade (2021+) roughly 0.6×'d your money (a real 48% LOSS to inflation). It LAGGED the stock market by about 70% — the same money in the S&P 500 would be larger. It trailed housing (-45%). (Price only — a real round-trip also loses ~10–20% to buy/sell fees and carrying costs.)
