Both cars and trucks are seeing softening prices in the lanes as the industry enters the fall market in full swing.

And though Black Book editors noted that depreciation patterns for cars and trucks have remained “constant” over the past several months — with most car segments experiencing stronger depreciation than trucks — there are a few outliers.

According to the latest Black Book Market Insights report, luxury, near-luxury and prestige luxury cars continue to see lighter depreciation rates than the majority of other car segments.

The report indicates that while car prices slid down by an average of 0.60 percent or $67 last week — the largest depreciation rate seen since the third week of June — near-luxury cars saw the lightest declines, with a slight drop of 0.04 percent or $6. Luxury and prestige luxury cars also saw better-than-average depreciation rates, with declines of just 0.14 percent ($28) and 0.22 percent ($83), respectively.

Compare this to the largest depreciation rate seen among cars last week: the compact car segment, which saw prices drop by 1.27 percent or $99.

On the truck side, vehicles continue to hold their price better in the lanes. On average, truck prices only dropped by 0.35 percent or $56 last week.

“Most car segments continue at a more accelerated depreciation rate than truck products. This will most likely continue throughout the rest of the year,” said Anil Goyal, vice president of automotive valuation and analytics.

Interestingly, though compact pickups performed well over the summer, they saw one of the biggest depreciation rates among trucks last week, dropping price by 0.87 percent or $128. The only segment to see higher dollar depreciation among the trucks was the full-size CUVs, whose prices fell by 0.84 percent or $135.

The midsize pickups were the only segment to see prices rise last week, with a slight increase of 0.07 percent or $8. The full-size pickups also performed well, with prices dropping by just 0.04 percent or $7.

In this report edition, Black Book editors also supplied an update on the specialty markets.

Taking a look at collectible cars, in particular, Black Book editors noted the market continues to be strong.

“Auctions featuring all types of vehicles, from pre-war American Classics to European Exotics, were well attended this past month in places as diverse as the Midwest and Great Britain,” they said.

Recent collectible car auction success is illustrated through Auctions America’s annual Labor Day sale in Auburn, Ind., which Black Book reported was attended by over 85,000 automotive enthusiasts. Total sales came to $20 million, with 870 cars changing hands.

Black Book cited the recent RM Sotheby’s London sale, as well, with total sales breaking through the $25 million mark, with 55 of the 70 vehicles offered sold.

Eric Lawrence, director of specialty markets at Black Book elaborated, said, “The collectible market continues to be strong. Auctions featuring all types of vehicles, from pre-war American Classics to European Exotics, were well attended this past month in places as diverse as the Midwest and Great Britain.

“As true vintage exotics have become too expensive for most collectors, many are turning their attention to less exclusive European makes, such as Porsche, Jaguar, and Alfa-Romeo. Many of their more desirable models, such as early 911 turbos, E-Types, and Giulias, have doubled or even tripled in value,” he continued.
