Strong prices for trucks in the lanes — or so the story goes for the  first half of 2013. But the tides have turned, with the past few weeks showing trucks having greater declining values than their smaller counterparts.

Overall, last week’s market activity brough an average depreciation level for car and truck segments of 0.3 percent to 0.4 percent, shared Black Book’s Ricky Beggs in his latest “Beggs on the Used Car Market” video report.

And for trucks, the average segment change came in at a decline of $50, slightly larger than the average segment change for cars (a decrease of $45).

Last week’s stats also brought the average change over the past three weeks for truck segments to -$50, as well.

This change marked the largest decline in auction prices for trucks since last November, Beggs reported. That said, last week did see one truck segment increase in price: the compact SUV, which jumped $14.

And though still experiencing a slight decline, Beggs shared that compact pickups are holding value, as well, with single-digit dollar-figure declines.

And  though price movement for trucks has seen a significant change in the past month, Beggs said, that even “with all the movement the changes are very much in-line with this seasonal adjustment of previous years.”

On average, cars hit a smaller decline in prices than trucks, but the change for cars still marked the largest average declining amount for these segments in the past month.

The entry-level cars and the compact cars fell by $15 and $18, respectively, proving to be the car segments with the smallest declines this past week.

“Gas prices declined by $0.05 over the last week, yet they are still $0.14 higher than one year ago prices at the pump,” Beggs noted, which could be a factor behind the smaller cars holing value.
