used and demo stock only. New cars sit at zero kilometres on recommended retail and would wash the cloud out (0 excluded)
No fitted line: it needs six or more cars spanning at least 20,000 km before a slope is honest, the same rule the valuation applies before adjusting for odometer.

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
20 used asks on the board, under the 30 it takes to draw a distribution. The count is the content.
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: 2 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. 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.
