Model v0.1. Baseline prices are indicative estimates based on published market references. New equipment prices are converted from USD dealer list prices at the ECB reference rate where European list prices are not publicly available. European pricing may differ. Models marked unverified use an estimate with no published source yet. The depreciation curve, hours rates and condition percentages are set within commonly quoted industry ranges and have not yet been validated against European auction outcomes. Indicative reference only.
