as at 10 Sept 12:25 UTCToday’s range · used asks, one price per car
asks mix drive-away and excluding-government-charges as advertised · pointing at a used car on the cloud below marks where it sits here
shaded = middle half ($60,715 to $149,888) · one price per car, n = 50
By state · all years
one price per car within each state; a car advertised in two states sits on both shelves while the national median counts it once. State duty schedules differ, so part of any gap is government charges rather than the car.
Price against odometer · n = 6 · 2021 only
used and demo stock only. New cars sit at zero kilometres on recommended retail and would wash the cloud out (165 excluded)

one row per physical car, the same cars the cloud plots. The brush filters this table only; the chart, its fit and its rung always use every car.

The book · where dealers price, not where cars sell · all years
every used ask in $1,000 buckets, one price per car · 32.0% sit in the $1,000 below a ten-thousand boundary, 4.0% in the $1,000 above it (50 cars)
Evidence rung 2 of 2
The vintage ladder · used asks by model year
a cross-section of today, not a price history: each row is where this year’s used cars are asked right now, one price per car, on one shared axis. Reading a row marks its median on the range above
Aged stock · 180 days on the shelf · all years
split by condition because they age differently: aged new and demo stock is a factory pipeline story, aged used is the “nobody is buying this one” story, and blending them tells neither
used: 13 dated listings. Under 30, so stated rather than drawn.

Cars, not advertisements, and counted only once no listing of the car remains live anywhere we watch. A further 27 left this model's shopfronts without proof of a sale and are not counted here. 4 carry the seller's own listing date, which is what the median below is measured over.

Aged by the seller’s own listing date, discount from the seller’s own tally. Our observation window is a fraction of a listing’s life, and measuring from it would flatter every number here.
