Each point is a completed sale with its own date, in chronological order. Dates are positioned by calendar time, with approximate placement when only a year or month is documented. The connecting line shows observed sales prices in this currency, not an appreciation index: transactions may concern different chassis and specifications. Factory prices and unsold estimates are excluded.
