What It's Actually Worth

Blended value of a standard 28 yr, 64k mi example, ~$40.5K 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. Initial Jobless Claims has historically led it by about 9 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.

$40.2K now +9mo 2021-04 $62.7K $33.7K
BECAUSE Initial Jobless Claims fell 3%. THEREFORE, given its usual 9-month head start, we lean DOWN — about −1% (≈ −$272) over the next 9 months. Confidence: Moderate (correlation +0.45, 44 months overlap).

If You’d Bought in 2021

$100K invested 2021-04 → today (5.3 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 Nissan Skyline (R33) roughly 0.9×'d your money (a real 30% LOSS to inflation). It LAGGED the stock market by about 57% — the same money in the S&P 500 would be larger. It trailed housing (-35%). (Price only — a real round-trip also loses ~10–20% to buy/sell fees and carrying costs.)
