What It's Actually Worth

Blended value of a standard 39 yr, 85k mi example, ~$4.8K 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.

Live now — calling it before the gavel

We're currently tracking 1 open auction in this market. Here's our predicted hammer range for each — check back after they close.

Closes	Car	Source	Our predicted range
open	1986 · 236k mi	classic	$2.0K–$10.6K ($4.6K)

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.

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 (4.6 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 $90.9K━ S&P 500 $170K━ Gold $225K━ Luxury $78.4K━ Housing $118K₿ Bitcoin $128K (off-scale)

Lost ground to inflation. The Honda Civic (1984-1987) roughly 0.9×'d your money (a real 24% LOSS to inflation). It LAGGED the stock market by about 47% — the same money in the S&P 500 would be larger. It trailed housing (-23%). (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.
