Trucks have held strong price retention throughout 2014, and Black Book’s Ricky Beggs says overall consistency remains a pattern in segment price trends.

In the Black Book editorial director’s latest “Beggs on the Used Car Market” video, he reports that last week the prices for trucks fell by an average of $49, or 0.31 percent, only slightly greater than the previous week.

And consistency is the name of the game, as this decline matches the five-week average, according to Black Book data.

Seeing the smallest price drops among the trucks were the full-size crossovers, which fell by an average of $160 last week.

This segment touts a two-week average decline of $130, and a five-week average drop of $113.

“We may have a seasonal type change as one year ago this segment had a change of -$98,” Beggs said.

On the other hand, the compact pickups continue to see price strength in the lanes, falling by only $3 last week.

This segment touts a five-week average decline of only $15. Compact SUVs also continue to perform well, dropping by an average of $16 last week.

Taking a look at the car segments, these smaller vehicles saw an average drop of $72 last week, which marks the lowest level of decline in the past three weeks. That said, during the same period last year, the car segments only saw a decline of $43, showing stronger depreciation rates this year.

Beggs also used the term “consistent” when describing car price movement, as seven of the 10 segments had lower price declines this past week than the previous week.

On the high end, the full-size cars and entry-midsize cars saw the biggest blows to their prices last week, falling by an average of $111 and $98, respectively.

Compact cars continue to see the most stable prices among the car segments, falling by only $28 last week.

Overall, prices evened out a bit last week, as Beggs reported the industry saw the lowest amount of decline in the past eight weeks.
