2024 Trending Markets between $40K-100K

The $40K-$100K Value Tier represents 24% of all markets and accounted for 30% of listings industry-wide in 2024.

The vehicles in this tier showcase a fascinating mix of eras. The Modern era leads the pack with 31%, followed by the 1960s at 24% and the 1950s at 10%.

On average, cars in this category sold for $63,000 at auction, a figure nearly unchanged from last year. Total dollar volume reached $968 million, with 60% of sales occurring via online auctions. In 2024, 15,397 vehicles changed hands in this value range, maintaining online auctions' dominance at the same 60% share of all transactions.

Looking at trends, this tier saw a slight 3% decrease in both dollar volume and sold listings compared to 2023. While online auction activity held steady, live events experienced an 8% decline in both listings and dollar volume. Unlike the Under $40K tier, the sell-through rate (STR) in this range declined, reflecting drops at both online and live auctions.

If you’re exploring the mid-market for collector cars, the $40K-$100K tier remains a dynamic space, with plenty of intriguing opportunities for collectors and enthusiasts alike.
