What It's Actually Worth

Blended value of a standard 17 yr, 17k mi example, ~$25.4K 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? 51% 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 89 scored forecasts: 51% got the direction right, median value error ±26%.

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 6 in 10

We replayed 228 past auctions in this market — predicting each hammer price from market data before the sale (no hindsight). Typical miss: ±38%; the gavel landed inside our predicted range 6 in 10 of the time, and we lean slightly high on average.

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.

Lead Indicator Forecast

Some indicators move before this market does. High-Yield Bond Spread has historically led it by about 11 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.

$25.7K now +11mo 2012-05 $36.8K $18.6K
BECAUSE credit spreads fell 10%. THEREFORE, given its usual 11-month head start, we lean UP — about +1% (≈ +$235) over the next 11 months. Confidence: Moderate (correlation -0.75, 18 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 (high conviction — 79% of weighted drivers agree), driven mainly by Ethereum (USD) and Consumer Discretionary ETF (XLY), though Initial Jobless Claims points the other way.

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