Think about the old days for a second, Tom Kontos said. If there was a flood of cars from a certain segment (like off-lease) to hit the market, there wasn’t as many choices of business-to-business, competitive-bidding venues for the remarketing industry to sell those cars as there are today. “In today’s world, with the embrace […] [Read More]

Auto Remarketing Staff
The spring tax season isn’t bringing with it the strong prices in the lanes it normally does. And this trend is particularly evident when looking at depreciation for the month of February. According to Black Book data, the average price of a used vehicle for model years 2010-2014 fell by 1.1 percent last month. Cars […] [Read More]
