LAWRENCEVILLE, Ga. -

The spring tax season isn’t bringing with it the strong prices in the lanes it normally does.

And this trend is particularly evident when looking at depreciation for the month of February. According to Black Book data, the average price of a used vehicle for model years 2010-2014 fell by 1.1 percent last month.

Cars dropped by 1.1 percent, while truck prices fell by 1.2 percent during the month.

All segments Black Book tracks saw less than 2.7 percent depreciation for the month in February, and even though rates are not as strong as they normally are this time of year, the car segments are beginning to pick up momentum.

“Clearly the car segments have begun to pick up momentum as we inch closer to spring, especially midsize cars and full-size cars,” said Anil Goyal, Senior vice president, automotive valuation and analytics for Black Book. “As we reach the pinnacle of spring it will be interesting to see if cars perform similarly to last year or if they experience less retention during the tax season.”

Trucks, on the other hand, are seeing some market correction due to the very strong prices some segments held on to over the course of 2015.

Full-size pickups saw the highest depreciation out of all segments for February with rates dropping by 2.7 percent. The segment, which includes units such as the Chevrolet Silverado and Ford F-150, entered March with an average segment price of $22,502, which represents a 6.3-percent drop from a year ago.

For comparison, on the car side of the market, nineteen different segments saw less than 2-percent depreciation for the month.

The top three performing segments were the full-size cars (-0.3 percent), compact crossover/CUVs (-0.1 percent) and midsize cars (no change from prior month). The full-size car segment finished the month with an average price of $12,674, which is down 16.3 percent year-over-year. And vehicles in the compact crossover/CUV segment ended February with an average price of $12,978, which was down 1.46 percent year-over-year.

Midsize cars led all segments with prices remaining stable with January rates. The segment, which includes vehicles like the Ford Taurus and Honda Accord, finished last month with an average segment prices of $9,595, which is down 18.8 percent from the same period last year.
