What It's Actually Worth

Blended value of a standard 34 yr, 3k mi example, ~$4415K 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.

Did our model work? 64% direction calls right

Each faint amber line is a forecast we would have made at that point in the past (12-mo horizon), drawn against what actually happened (blue). Over 61 scored forecasts: 64% got the direction right, median value error ±28%.

Auction Scorecard gavel in range 9 in 10

We replayed 51 past auctions in this market — predicting each hammer price from market data before the sale (no hindsight). Typical miss: ±15%; the gavel landed inside our predicted range 9 in 10 of the time, and we lean slightly low on average.

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 Effective Fed Funds Rate and Core CPI (ex food/energy).

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

A genuinely strong investment. The Ferrari F40 roughly 14.5×'d your money (a real, inflation-adjusted 8.8× gain). It actually BEAT the S&P 500 by about 68%. It beat housing (+695%). (Price only — a real round-trip also loses ~10–20% to buy/sell fees and carrying costs.)
