Blended value of a standard 28 yr, 73k mi example, ~$6.0K 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.
We're currently tracking 1 open auction in this market. Here's our predicted hammer range for each — check back after they close.

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.

Lead Indicator Forecast
Some indicators move before this market does. Ethereum (USD) has historically led it by about 7 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 Ethereum (USD) fell 43%. THEREFORE, given its usual 7-month head start, we lean UP — about +1% (≈ +$50) over the next 7 months. Confidence: Moderate (correlation +0.68, 22 months overlap).
If You’d Bought in 2020
$100K invested 2020-10 → today (5.8 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).
━ This car $49.9K━ S&P 500 $254K━ Gold $219K━ Luxury $143K━ Housing $144K₿ Bitcoin $430K (off-scale)
Lost ground to inflation. The Suzuki X-90 roughly 0.5×'d your money (a real 61% LOSS to inflation). It LAGGED the stock market by about 80% — the same money in the S&P 500 would be larger. It trailed housing (-65%). (Price only — a real round-trip also loses ~10–20% to buy/sell fees and carrying costs.)
