Depreciation is picking up across the board for both cars and trucks; however, it is especially the case for trucks, with the average depreciation change last week falling 0.46 percent, the largest drop for trucks in nearly a year indicating that the fall price declines might finally be in full gear, according to the weekly "Used Car Market Report" from Black Book

“It’s beginning to feel like fall and along with the decreasing temperatures outside, we are seeing decreasing values across all our segments,” said Anil Goyal, vice president of Automotive Valuation and Analytics at Black Book.
