What It's Actually Worth

Blended value of a standard 12 yr, 2k mi example, ~$721K 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? 77% 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 26 scored forecasts: 77% got the direction right, median value error ±690%.

Lead Indicator Forecast

Some indicators move before this market does. Nonfarm Payrolls (jobs) has historically led it by about 3 months — so its recent move implies where prices head next (dashed). The solid green line is actual value through today; the shaded path is what the lead implies.

$722K now +3mo 2018-01 $902K $415K
BECAUSE Nonfarm Payrolls (jobs) held roughly flat. THEREFORE, given its usual 3-month head start, we expect little change — about +0% (≈ +$1,172) over the next 3 months. Confidence: High (correlation +0.78, 37 months overlap).

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 (low conviction — 24% of weighted drivers agree), driven mainly by Nonfarm Payrolls (jobs) and 10Y-2Y Yield Spread, though 10Y-2Y Yield Spread points the other way.

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

If You’d Bought in 2018

Solid store of value, but lagged the stock market. The Lexus LFA roughly 1.7×'d your money (a real, inflation-adjusted 1.3× gain). It LAGGED the stock market by about 44% — the same money in the S&P 500 would be larger. It beat housing (+2%). (Price only — a real round-trip also loses ~10–20% to buy/sell fees and carrying costs.)
