What It's Actually Worth

Blended value of a standard 12 yr, 2k mi example, ~$850K 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? 90% direction calls right

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 10 scored forecasts: 90% got the direction right, median value error ±62%.

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.

Auction Scorecard gavel in range 8 in 10

We replayed 32 past auctions in this market — predicting each hammer price from market data before the sale (no hindsight). Typical miss: ±6%; the gavel landed inside our predicted range 8 in 10 of the time, and we lean slightly low on average.

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 — 53% of weighted drivers agree), driven mainly by LVMH (luxury proxy ADR) and VIX Volatility Index, though WTI Crude Oil points the other way.

⚠ The price trend and leading indicators disagree — momentum may be running ahead of the fundamentals.

Solid store of value, but lagged the stock market. The Lexus LFA roughly 2.4×'d your money (a real, inflation-adjusted 1.8× gain). It LAGGED the stock market by about 18% — the same money in the S&P 500 would be larger. It beat housing (+50%). (Price only — a real round-trip also loses ~10–20% to buy/sell fees and carrying costs.)
