“Sales rates have shown a small improvement as some auctions have re-started their digital sales, but to the detriment of retention. This past week we saw values really begin to fall as the increasing supply and limited demand pushed values down,” said Laura Wehunt, Vice President, Automotive Valuations

Volume-weighted, the overall car segment values decrease represented the fourth week of large depreciations creating a four-week average of a 1.02% decline. Meanwhile, volume-weighted, the overall truck segment (including pickups, SUVs, and vans) values decreased by 1.00% last week. This is the largest week over week decline for trucks and SUVs since December 2019.
