What It's Actually Worth

Blended value of a standard 39 yr, 85k mi example, ~$4.2K 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.

Where We Think It's Headed

Probability and range, not a single number. Wider = less certain (not bigger gains).

If You’d Bought in 2021

$100K invested 2021-12 → today (4.8 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).

━ This car $81.8K━ S&P 500 $175K━ Gold $231K━ Luxury $61.6K━ Housing $121K₿ Bitcoin $186K (off-scale)

Lost ground to inflation. The Honda Civic (1984-1987) roughly 0.8×'d your money (a real 31% LOSS to inflation). It LAGGED the stock market by about 53% — the same money in the S&P 500 would be larger. It trailed housing (-32%). (Price only — a real round-trip also loses ~10–20% to buy/sell fees and carrying costs.)

Economic Drivers

We map every market against ~35 economic indicators — equities, rates, luxury demand, credit, housing — to find what leads its prices. This market needs a bit more confirmed sold history before those signals are reliable; it will appear automatically as data accrues.
