How to read these numbers
- Every price is a completed Bring a Trailer sale and links to its listing. Asking prices are not counted anywhere.
- The price is the winning bid. The buyer pays Bring a Trailer's fee on top of it.
- Variants are never averaged together, and conversions, race cars and projects are listed but left out of the medians.
- Mileage and colors are read from each listing's title and short description. Mileage is rounded there, so a "22k" car may have a few hundred miles either side, and a dash means the listing's summary didn't state it.
- Cars we sold ourselves are marked and open the car's own page, with its photos and history.
