GAINESVILLE, Ga. -

As overall auction price softening continued last week, one segment bucked the trend: full-size vans.

Black Book’s Ricky Beggs pointed the trend out in his latest “Beggs on the Used Car Market” video report, noting this “might be a good time to be a seller of used full-size vans and wagons.”

Over the past nine weeks, the full-size passenger vans have increased in value, and the cargo vans have see prices rise for eight of the past nine weeks.

With only 40 percent of the overall price adjustments last week being increases, full-size wagon prices rose by $135 last week, while the vans saw an increase of $41.

“The full-size van segment has been progressing with major model change offerings since the introduction of the Mercedes and Dodge Sprinter models which hit the US soil back in model year 2003. In 2013 Nissan joined the new look offerings with the NV and in 2014 the Ram Promaster brought front wheel drive to the mix,” said Beggs, editorial director at Black Book. “After over 35 years of segment leading Econoline van sales, Ford has switched to the 2015 Transit to compete in this functional changing segment.”

Overall, the trucks saw a slight rise of $6 last week, with eight of the fourteen truck segments seeing increases.

Last year during the same week, truck prices fell by an average of $36.

The car market was more in line with predicted price softening, with an overall segment price drop of $60.
