Figures are for auctions that ended since Nov 2024. Prices are winning bids; the buyer pays Bring a Trailer's fee on top. "Sold rate" is the share of auctions that met reserve. A variant with fewer than 3 sales shows no median: one or two cars are not a market.

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.
