What It's Actually Worth

Blended value of a standard 53 yr, 43k mi example, ~$9.5K 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? 89% direction calls right

Track record buildingNot enough graded forecasts yet to show accuracy.
━ actual ╱ past predictions (ghosts)

Walk-forward: each ghost uses only data available at that date — no hindsight. 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 2015

$100K invested 2015-01 → today (11.7 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 Z600 roughly 1.2×'d your money (a real 17% LOSS to inflation). It LAGGED the stock market by about 75% — the same money in the S&P 500 would be larger. It trailed housing (-41%). (Price only — a real round-trip also loses ~10–20% to buy/sell fees and carrying costs.)
