What It's Actually Worth

Blended value of a standard 8 yr, 24k mi example, ~$46.4K 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.

Lead Indicator Forecast

Some indicators move before this market does. US Metro Mean Temperature has historically led it by about 7 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.

$49.0K now +7mo 2022-03 $61.9K $44.4K
BECAUSE US Metro Mean Temperature rose 400%. THEREFORE, given its usual 7-month head start, we lean UP — about +6% (≈ +$2,653) over the next 7 months. Confidence: Moderate (correlation -0.73, 18 months overlap).

If You’d Bought in 2022

$100K invested 2022-03 → today (4.4 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 Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG / C63 S (W205) roughly 0.8×'d your money (a real 34% LOSS to inflation). It LAGGED the stock market by about 59% — the same money in the S&P 500 would be larger. It trailed housing (-33%). (Price only — a real round-trip also loses ~10–20% to buy/sell fees and carrying costs.)
