What is the IQ Score?
A single 0–100 signal that tells you instantly whether a vehicle price is a steal, fair, or an overpay — calculated from 275K+ normalized auction records across five sources in real time.

How It's Calculated
Four weighted factors. Each is normalized to a 0–100 sub-score before the weighted average is computed.
How fast is this model selling and how has the sell-through rate trended over the past 90 days? Rising velocity = increasing demand. Calculated from time-to-sale across BaT, Mecum, RM Sotheby's, and Gooding.
Where does the current asking or hammer price sit relative to the 12-month normalized median across 5 auction sources? A price 20%+ below the trailing median earns maximum signal; 20%+ above earns minimum.
Total units produced, surviving examples, and limited-edition status pulled from factory records and our editorial knowledge base. Fewer examples = higher rarity multiplier.
The exterior color and drivetrain configuration carry documented auction premiums. This factor reflects the real-world delta between, say, Rosso Corsa and Nero on a Ferrari, based on our color-indexed comp database.
- The IQ Score reflects market pricing relative to historical comps — it is not a condition assessment.
- Scores update as new auction data enters the warehouse. A score today may differ tomorrow.
- The score does not account for undisclosed mechanical issues, accident history, or unreported modifications.
- Always get an independent inspection before purchase regardless of IQ Score.
The market has an opinion.
The IQ Score makes it legible.
Every number is derived from normalized auction data — not estimated, not interpolated, not guessed. If the comps support a strong score, you see it. If they do not, that is the score. No opinions. Just signal.
