This week’s Black Book Market Insights report showed depreciation across the board for all car and truck segments, with particular emphasis on trucks and small crossover segments. Vehicles in these segments faced the heaviest price drops this past week, with compact vans added into the mix here.
“Weekly depreciation rates have been fairly consistent since Memorial Day with cars at a cumulative adjustment of -2.7%, a 35% higher rate of decline compared to trucks at -2.0%,” said Anil Goyal, Senior Vice President of Automotive Valuation and Analytics.

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.
How can vehicle-sourced performance data change the way fleets assess condition, time de-fleets, and set remarketing expectations? A seminar at the 2026 Conference of Automotive Remarketing (CAR) has answers.
