New vehicle retail sales increased 5% year-over-year in May, however, the amount of people reporting that they’ll buy a new vehicle in the second half of 2018 is on the decline, according to Cox Automotive’s June 2018 Industry Update.
Last year was the first year that the auto industry saw a decline in new-vehicle sales in seven years. The fate of this year is still unclear, but the continued decline in new-vehicle sales will have an effect on the supply and value of used vehicles in the years to come.
