The Black Book editors and survey personnel have identified select trends the week of June 23, which show where dealers and remarketers need to pay close attention to inventory management strategies.

“Mainstream car values declined sharply with the arrival of summer while most truck segments continue to show steady depreciation trends,” said Anil Goyal, Vice President of Automotive Valuation and Analytics.
Overall, the volume-weighted car values decreased by 0.76 percent, last week, the most in last 52 weeks. Popular segments, including Compact Car, Entry Level Car, Entry Mid-Size Car, Full-Size Car, and Upper Mid-Size Car, declined by about 1 percent last week. It was no surprise that sporty cars were in demand as the summer months approached, according to Black Book.
Overall, the volume-weighted truck values decreased by 0.25 percent last week as Pickups and SUVs continue to perform better than cars.
Buyers are being very selective on 2014 and 2015 models and many have been chalked up as “no-sales” this past week.
CAR’s annual Fleet Remarketing Awards opened a reimagined 2026 conference designed to bridge the worlds of fleet management and automotive remarketing.
The 2026 Conference of Automotive Remarketing convened with a mandate to involve a new constituency — fleet managers — and an updated mission to demonstrate unrealized value in de-fleeted vehicles.
From a Wall Street analyst's take on remarketing's key players to whether fleets need their own version of Carfax, CAR 2026's afternoon roundtables will answer key operational and industry questions.
The enhanced technology allows rental car operations, dealerships, and auctions to compare a vehicle’s condition at pickup and drop-off within the same rental or loaner record.
A panel at the 2026 Conference of Automotive Remarketing will examine how resale value is created across the vehicle lifecycle and which traditional remarketing practices still deliver ROI.
Smart operational and spec'ing decisions can dramatically improve both the total cost of ownership during use and the resale value when it's time to remarket day cabs.
