used and demo stock only. New cars sit at zero kilometres on recommended retail and would wash the cloud out (0 excluded)
Only 2 cars with both a price and an odometer for 2024, too few to draw. 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

repricings, confirmed exits and relists. First-seen events are excluded, they are mostly our own coverage growing
A pre-registered test lives here: whether photo and description changes precede price cuts. It publishes, whichever way it falls, once the corpus holds 2,000 observed cuts.

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.
