What It's Actually Worth

Blended value of a standard 19 yr, 81k mi example, ~$16.6K 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.

Crystal Ball — What Leading Indicators Signal

Distinct from the trend forecast above: this blends all 8 leading indicators (each at its own lead time, de-duplicated so correlated ones don't double-count) into one signal. Leading indicators are collectively signaling higher over the next ~12 months (moderate conviction — 54% of weighted drivers agree), driven mainly by Ethereum (USD) and Advance Retail Sales, though Ethereum (USD) points the other way.

Trend and leading indicators agree — both point up. Higher-conviction read.

Each bar is one driver's current push; longer = more weight. All one side = high conviction; split = low.

Lost ground to inflation. The Subaru WRX / Impreza WRX / STI roughly 0.9×'d your money (a real 26% LOSS to inflation). It LAGGED the stock market by about 55% — the same money in the S&P 500 would be larger. It trailed housing (-31%). (Price only — a real round-trip also loses ~10–20% to buy/sell fees and carrying costs.)
