Across the recent listings there's a recurring sense that the market cooled: standard 16vs selling well under where commenters expected, cars that 'a year ago would have gone over 20' finishing lower, and broad reference to 2021-2022 buyers needing to accept losses. Several link soft results to a general classic-car dip rather than the model itself, and note off-season / holiday-weekend auction timing hurt individual cars.
