While compact pickups and full-size pickups continue to see the strongest price retention at auction, Black Book’s Ricky Beggs highlighted another trend in the lanes that may be reversing.

Though entry-level cars showed significant depreciation in August, Beggs — editorial director and senior vice president at Black Book  — explained in his latest “Beggs on the Used Car Market” video report that this segment has seen a strong rebound since the beginning of the month.

Through last week, the segment has seen the smallest dollar and percentage declines of any segment.

Last week, the segment saw an $8, or 0.13-percent, drop.

In comparison, from Aug. 1 to Sept. 1, the entry-level cars saw the largest monthly depreciation rate, falling by 2.4 percent.

Overall, this past week, only 4 percent of the  price adjustments for cars were increases, with an average price change of -$77. Beggs reports this to be the second highest weekly decline for cars in the past 50 weeks.

Another segment to perform well against the average was the compact car class, which saw a price drop of $37.

Moving over to highlight the truck segments, the average change last week was a drop of $45.

Seeing the strongest price retention for trucks was the compack pickup segment, with an average decline of $12, followed by the full-size pickups dropping by $17.

And one truck segment is seeing a similar trend as the entry-level vehicles.

The compact crossovers, which saw a 2.4-percent price decline from August to September, are seeing lower depreciation rate this month.

“Their change this past week at -$56, or -0.46 percent would have them doing slightly better for the full month of September if this change level continues,” Beggs said.

The popularity of this segment may lead to expanded supply and lower prices in the near future, he added.

“A popular segment in the number of players and overall volume, the most recent new-sales reports have this segment as the fastest growing in volume,” Beggs said. “This might also mean a bigger supply of trades within this segment for the replacement new vehicle due to its great functionality and good fuel economy, thus bringing the slightly larger segment average depreciation.”
