“Depreciation rates increased on both car and truck segments as buyers became hesitant to load up on inventory,” said Anil Goyal senior vice president of automotive valuation and analytics.
Among cars, full-size and sporty cars led the pack in terms of depreciation, seeing their values fall by 0.94% and 0.82%, respectively. Subcompact cars saw the lowest depreciation throughout the week, with values falling 0.16%.
Meanwhile, smaller vehicles in the truck segment realized the highest depreciation rates. Subcompact crossovers saw their average wholesale values fall by 1.03%, while compact vans saw their values fall by 1.13%, the highest rates among all vehicles through the week.
Mid-size luxury crossovers and full-size vans claimed the lowest depreciation among trucks in the week, with respective values falling by 0.10% and 0.13%.
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.
