Last week in the lanes brought continued strength in the majority of the car segments, save for one: the subcompact cars. And among the trucks, the full-size pickups experienced some softness this past week.

Although the subcompact car segment had been recovering a bit from 2015 lows, it experienced a significant price decline last week, according to the latest Black Book Market Insights report.

That said, the report stated overall cars are picking up steam in the lanes, and that dealer sentiment “mirrors this trend.” Black Book editors are overhearing dealers say prices are holding steady, and trucks are seeing more no sales — both of which are trends expected around tax season.  

Car values fell by 0.33 percent or $33 last week, while truck prices dropped by 0.47 percent or $69.

“Overall used-vehicle values continued to decline at a steady pace similar to the last six weeks. Interestingly, subcompact car values dropped sharply after two weeks of strength,” said Anil Goyal, vice president of automotive valuation and analytics.

The overall average drop in car prices is slightly lower than the average depreciation rate of 0.40 percent seen over the previous six weeks, according to Black Book data.

As aforementioned, the subcompact segment took the biggest hit, with prices dropping by 0.86 percent or $51. The prestige luxury car and sporty car segments also took hits, with average price drops of 0.65 percent and 0.59 percent, respectively.

The best performing segment for the cars was the near-luxury car category, which saw prices drop by a slight 0.15 percent or $27.

The truck decline seen last week was slightly higher than the average depreciation rate or 0.38 percent seen over the previous two months, Black Book editors pointed out.

The compact commercial van, minivan and full-size pickup segments saw the biggest declines last week among the trucks, with prices dropping by 1.26 percent, 1.06 percent and 0.98 percent, respectively.

Two truck segments even saw prices increase last week. The subcompact crossover segment experiences a 0.27-percent or $33 rise in prices, while the compact luxury crossover/SUV category saw a 0.05-percent or $9 gain.
