Tracking 4 sales in the last 90 days. We'll publish a confident 12-month outlook once 1 more sale closes — at this market's typical pace, that's roughly ~2 months.
What It's Actually Worth
Blended value of a standard 11 yr, 2k mi example, ~$5957K 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.
Each faint amber line is a forecast we would have made at that point in the past (12-mo horizon), drawn against what actually happened (blue). Over 6 scored forecasts: 100% got the direction right, median value error ±33%.
━ 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.
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 lower over the next ~12 months (moderate conviction — 54% of weighted drivers agree), driven mainly by WTI Crude Oil and Housing Starts, though Effective Fed Funds Rate points the other way.
⚠ The price trend and leading indicators disagree — momentum may be running ahead of the fundamentals.
Are the indicators agreeing?
Each bar is one driver's current push; longer = more weight. All one side = high conviction; split = low.
If You’d Bought in 2017
$100K invested 2017-08 → today (8.9 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).

Solid store of value, but lagged the stock market. The Ferrari LaFerrari roughly 1.6×'d your money (a real, inflation-adjusted 1.2× gain). It LAGGED the stock market by about 55% — the same money in the S&P 500 would be larger. It trailed housing (-5%). (Price only — a real round-trip also loses ~10–20% to buy/sell fees and carrying costs.)
