Flagged undervalued because asking -29% vs historic sold, inventory -1%, -22% vs 2-yr avg, and -23% vs 3-yr trend.
What It's Actually Worth
Blended value of a standard 60 yr, 38k mi example, ~$19.0K 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? 60% 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 112 scored forecasts: 60% got the direction right, median value error ±43%.
