In the $100K to $500K range, the market is steady on the surface but very reactive underneath. Buyers are gravitating toward cars with a clear point of view, especially standouts from the ’60s, ’90s, and 2000s, while ultra-new cars and Pre-war models are losing momentum. The pattern is consistent: distinctive, drivable cars with real usability keep finding buyers, while complexity, excess, and hype tend to slow things down.

*The CLASSIC.COM Market Benchmark (CMB) is a benchmark value for vehicles in a given Market based on data accumulated by CLASSIC.COM and calculated by a proprietary algorithm that takes into account volume and recency of each data point. CMB can be used to assess the performance of a market over a given time period. However, it does not represent the value of a specific vehicle.
** A Market on CLASSIC.COM is a grouping of comparable vehicles that have, at a minimum, the same Make, Model, and Model Generation. When relevant for purposes of valuation, a Market may be further segmented by Model Variant, Trim, Transmission Type, Body Style, and other factors.
