As we head into the last weeks of summer, auction price movement is all over the board with wide variation among segments.

But according to the latest Black Book Market Insights report, remarketing activity has continued a “steady pace” as the season winds down.

In fact, Black Book editors heard many dealers last week talking about the steady flow of sales in the lanes, especially for trucks.

For example, Black Book overheard a buyer from California say in the lanes last week that there was a “very strong sales performance with few no-sales (at a sale last week).”

That said, compact cars continue to see prices suffer as gas prices dropped to an average of $2.64 last week.

Overall, prices for the car segments fell by 0.39 percent or $45 last week, which is just slightly lower than the depreciation rates seen over the past month.

Trucks, on the other hand, held values a bit better last week, with rates only dropping by 0.24 percent or $38. Though still low, this drop for the trucks is a bit higher than depreciation rates seen over the past month.

“Market trends continue to show large declines for compact cars while full-size pickups and SUVs hold their values. Full size vans have now started to drop in value after defying gravity for several months,” said Anil Goyal, vice president of automotive valuation and analytics.

Among the cars, only one segment saw prices rise last week. Entry midsize cars saw prices rise by 0.13 percent or $12, while all other car segments dropped in price.

Compact cars and luxury level cars took the biggest hits. Compact cars dropped in price by 0.78 percent or $63, while luxury level cars also saw prices drop by 0.78 percent or $156.

Other poor performers were the premium sporty cars with a decline of 0.43 percent or $166, and the sporty car segment, which saw prices drop by 0.50 percent or $79, perhaps a sign of approaching colder weather and consequent shift in consumer interest.

On the truck side of the market, full-size vans have been one of the strongest performing segments in recent months, according to Black Book data, but that wasn’t the case this past week.

Full-size vans saw the highest depreciation rate among trucks this past week. The full-size passenger vans saw rates drop by 0.90 percent or $129, while full-size cargo vans declined by 0.79 percent or $109.

Prices stayed flat for compact pickups and luxury level SUVs — the best performing truck segments last week. Other strong runners were the compact CUV and minivan passenger segment, which both saw prices only drop by 0.18 percent or $21.
