What It's Actually Worth
Blended value of a standard 16 yr, 50k mi example, ~$33.5K 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 Regular Gas Price has historically led it by about 1 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.
BECAUSE US Regular Gas Price fell 4%. THEREFORE, given its usual 1-month head start, we expect little change — about −0% (≈ −$50) over the next 1 months. Confidence: Moderate (correlation +0.60, 22 months overlap).
