What the tape says

Liquidity broadened

Unlike the Q1 record sprint, June combined more cars sold with higher dollar volume.

Mileage still mattered at the halo level

The 13,000-mile 918 at $2.695M offered a useful contrast to ultra-low-mile Weissach results earlier in the year.

Online was infrastructure, not novelty

Digital platforms were responsible for most units sold and more than $240M of June volume.

The Twelve Reserve view

June strengthened the case for a two-lane market: high-frequency online price discovery underneath a live-auction trophy tier. For acquisitions, the public tape was becoming deeper - but only when mileage, spec and history were normalized correctly.

Individual results are reference points, not universal valuations. Mileage, specification, originality, history, condition, venue and timing all matter.
