Entry-level cars under $40K performed solidly, hinting at continued interest from younger and first-time collectors. Dealer turnover was moderate, while search and social sentiment appeared flat, reflecting caution amid macroeconomic and geopolitical uncertainty. Overall, the market maintained balance, with no significant rally or retreat, encouraging collectors to hold quality assets and watch for selective buying opportunities in the month ahead. Looking ahead with reasonable confidence, barring any “Black Swan” events, to Monterey Car Week!
