What It's Actually Worth

Blended value of a standard 39 yr, 85k mi example, ~$4.3K 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.

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.

If You’d Bought in 2021

$100K invested 2021-12 → today (4.7 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 Honda Civic (1984-1987) roughly 0.8×'d your money (a real 29% LOSS to inflation). It LAGGED the stock market by about 52% — the same money in the S&P 500 would be larger. It trailed housing (-30%). (Price only — a real round-trip also loses ~10–20% to buy/sell fees and carrying costs.)
