How to read it: every sale is compared with the typical price of its exact variant, so a month with more rare or expensive cars doesn’t look like a rising market. Months are smoothed over a quarter. A line above 100 means cars are selling for more than they did at the start; the percentages are the change over the last 12 months.

Built from public sale records of cars sold in US dollars. The typical sale is the sales-weighted median sold price; the index follows each model against its own starting level, so a pricier model doesn’t outweigh a cheaper one. Figures describe the market, not any one car: a Stable Value prices a specific car.
