Read the ranking correctly

Compare models, then inspect the evidence.

The annual rate is fitted from current, mileage-adjusted prices across a model's observed years. A model needs at least three observed years and a two-year horizon to appear here. That keeps sparse curves out of the headline—but it does not turn this into a VIN-specific appraisal.
