Though the holiday was cause for a short week in the lanes, Black Book’s Ricky Beggs still saw a few changing trends at auction.

For example, in his latest “Beggs on the Used Car Market” video report, the editorial director pointed out that an overall “bright spot” last week was seen among the car segments.

The overall price decline for cars came in at $56 last week, which was the lowest level of decline seen over the past five months, dating back to early July. That said, it still remains a bit above the $47 average drop for the same week last year.

The entry-level cars and upper midsize cars were the best performing car segments last week, both seeing only an $18 drop.

Beggs also noted that if you are “searching for consistent movement,” check out the near-luxury car and compact car segments, which have only seen a $4 variance over the past three weeks.

Last week, the near-luxury cars and compact cars saw prices drop by $44 and $42, respectively.

And as gas prices continued to fall last week — dropping by another 7 cents to sit at an average of $2.82 per gallon — some of the larger segments are seeing price strength as a results.

Overall, the average segment price drop for the truck segments came in at $32 last week, which is the lowest decline seen over the past eight weeks.
