That is helpful, thanks. It actually goes back further if you use the chart.

Cargurus tracks price trends by model and brand for 30/90 days or 1 year. Not quite what you wanted but still helpful.

His employer made him do it and he wants to stay employed.

Slide shows got you too, Tom?

How many articles is Jalopnik going to write about the MX-30 and it’s “too short to be useful” range?
