The average price of a used vehicle for model years 2011-2015 fell by 1.7 percent during June, following 0.5 percent depreciation in May — typical of seasonal patterns, according to Black Book.

Cars in June saw noticeably higher depreciation (2.2 percent) than trucks, which saw 1.3-percent depreciation for the month. All vehicles are averaging a 12-month depreciation change of 15.4 percent, in line with pre-recession rates.

“The overall monthly depreciation rate is showing typical seasonal patterns as we approach the mid-summer part of the calendar,” said Anil Goyal, senior vice president of automotive valuation and analytics for Black Book.

 “Furthermore, in looking at the heaviest of depreciation in recent months, it’s interesting to see a few luxury categories listed among the smaller-vehicle segments.”

Subcompact luxury utilities saw the highest depreciation during June at 3.5 percent. Vehicles in this segment include the Audi Q3, BMW X1, Mercedes-Benz G Class, and the Mini Cooper Countrymen. Units in this segment finished the month with an average price of $17,998, a 19.9-percent decline from year-ago levels.

Small pickups saw the best retention during the month at 0.1 percent, the only segment to see a change for the positive. Vehicles in this segment include the Chevrolet Colorado, Dodge Dakota, Ford Explorer Sport Trac, and the Toyota Tacoma. Units in this segment finished the month with an average price of $19,601, a downward change of 6.9 percent from a year ago (best 12-month retention).

Four segments saw greater than 5 percent depreciation over the last three months: prestige luxury cars (down 5.6 percent), compact vans (5.5 percent), subcompact cars (5.4 percent) and luxury cars (5.1 percent).

Two more small-vehicle segments are close behind: compact luxury utilities (down 4.6 percent) and compact cars (down 4.6 percent).

On a year-over-year basis, compact vans showed the highest depreciation at 23.4 percent, while car and truck prices fell by 18.4 percent and 12.8 percent, respectively. Besides small pickups (down 6.9 percent), full-size crossover SUVs were the only other segment to see less than 10 percent depreciation year-over-year at (8.9 percent).
