est. marks sold prices estimated from dealer listings that disappeared (their last ask), used when a year has fewer than 3 auction sales. Auction figures are US sales only. Data as of 2026-10-20.

Model-year asks are the dealer listings we saw on 2026-10-20. Sold prices are US auction results when a year has at least 3; otherwise they are estimated from dealer listings that disappeared (last ask) and marked est.
The anchor offer uses this model's observed price-cut behaviour. See the methodology. Market data, not investment advice.
