the data you are looking for (percentage of accuracy) is an approximate.....and there lies the problem(?)
an interesting project would be gathering accurate selling prices for each model (OB, Euro OB, OB "S", Euro OB "S", 85/86, S4, GT, GTS, etc). you could break it down even further by each individual year model, auto or 5 speed, etc. then you could go further with stone cold stock or modified (to what extent?) Then you can get into condition and other such mundane issues.
Time period? pick one....monthly, quarterly, yearly?
the data should be collected from the usual sources, eBay/Craigslist/Rennlist/Autotrader/PCA Panamera Mag/etc.....I'm sure I've left out several others.
Frankly, I think it would interesting to do the project, but somewhat time consuming to collect---much of it has already been done for you on the individual websites (eBay, Autotrader)---but then enter onto excel spreadsheet and provide to the masses for their digestion.
The results might surprise everyone.
As to Excellence......take it with a grain of salt. Don't rely on just one publication for values, if you're in the market to purchase.
Think of it this way Normy.....
All general statements are false.
