McLEAN, Va. -

Used-car price changes may be varied this week, as NADA’s AuctionNet data shows expected segment movement will range from a drop of $350 to a slight $25 spike in price.

But leading the declines, according to NADA, will once again be the luxury cars — a segment that has seen weak retention as of late.

The luxury cars are predicted to drop by $350 in the lanes this week, a good $100 above other predicted segment declines.

Next up is the large SUVs with a predicted $250 drop, followed by the luxury utility and midsize car segments, both predicted to drop in price by $125 this week.

All other declines are fairly slight, with the compact car and compact utility segments predicted to both drop in price by an average of $75 this week.

Lastly, the midsize utility segment is expected to only drop by $25.

Once again, trucks are expected to see stronger-than-average price retention in the lanes with the large pickups expected to see prices rise by $25 this week.

The midsize vans are also expected to jump up by $25, one of only two segments predicted to see price spikes this week.

Four- and two-week AuctionNet wholesale average prices are created by collecting all AuctionNet records for vehicles  up to five years of age for a specified period of time.  Prices are then adjusted for changes in mileage and mix.

Current week prices are based on NADA's proprietary used vehicle value model which includes assumptions for new-vehicle prices, used vehicle supply, gasoline prices, and other economic factors.
