The Black Book Market Insights report this week looks at the continuing impact late-year seasonality is having across all car and truck segments. What’s more, the report offers front-line insight from remarketing executives at Ford and General Motors, who both offer a glimpse into auction strategies for key segments, CPO programs and off-lease plans.  

“Wholesale values have declined at a relatively high rate in recent weeks, a foreseen trend, caused by the impact of seasonality,” said Anil Goyal, Vice President of Automotive Valuation and Analytics.

• Volume-weighted, overall car values decreased by 0.72% last week, one year ago declined by 0.42%.
• The Entry Level Car and Entry Mid-Size Car Segments saw the largest depreciation this past week with decreases of 1.29% and 1.12%, respectively.
• Volume-weighted, overall truck values decreased by 0.44% last week, one year ago declined by 0.31%.
• Compact Pickup and Compact SUV saw little to no change this past week with -0.01% and 0%, respectively.
