CARY, N.C. -

In a forecast released Tuesday, TrueCar projects close to 2.86 million used-vehicle sales this month, which would be a 6.1-percent year-over-year slide.

Last week, Edmunds.com called for roughly 2.8 million used-car sales in November, which would be down from 3.1 million in October. The seasonally adjusted annualized rate for used-car sales, however, is likely to climb from 37.8 million to 37.9 million.

This follows a third quarter with 9.76 million used-vehicle sales, according to Edmunds’ latest Used Vehicle Market Report. That was up from 9.45 million in Q3 of 2015.

Franchised dealers accounted for 2.92 million used sales in the third quarter, Edmunds said, which was off 2.6 percent.

The National Automobile Dealers Association is forecasting 15.1 million used-car sales by franchised dealers this year, followed by 15.3 million used sales in 2017.

NADA also projects that there will be more than 40 million total used-car sales next year.
