What It's Actually Worth

Blended value of a standard 17 yr, 17k mi example, ~$24.4K 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.

Did our model work? 54% direction calls right

No-lookahead: predictions are made before each auction closes; the scorecard grades confirmed sold auctions only (no-sales excluded). A modeled estimate, not a guarantee. 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 — 55% of weighted drivers agree), driven mainly by Consumer Discretionary ETF (XLY) and 10Y-2Y Yield Spread, though Nonfarm Payrolls (jobs) points the other way.

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