What It's Actually Worth

Blended value of a standard 59 yr, 30k mi example, ~$35.3K 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.
