LAWRENCEVILLE, Ga. -

Perhaps the industry is taking its collective foot off of the gas in regards to wholesale car prices.

Black Book shared in its latest Market Insights report that overall car segment values decreased by 0.20 percent last week. In comparison and reflecting the unusual summer it has been at the auction, volume-weighted car values had increased at an average rate of 0.05 percent per week during the previous two weeks.

Meanwhile, editors noticed overall truck segment values — including pickups, SUVs and vans — remained nearly flat last week. In comparison, the volume-weighted truck values had decreased at an average rate of 0.06 percent per week during the previous two weeks.

Among car segments, Black Book found that prestige luxury car and full-size car values decreased the most last week. Prestige luxury cars dropped by 0.51 percent or $171, and full-size cars dipped by 0.37 percent or $51.

Among truck segments, editors noticed that compact van values decreased the most last week, sliding by 0.89 percent or $81.

Meanwhile, Black Book’s anecdotes from the lanes collected and shared by its nearly 60 representatives at weekly sales nationwide shed light on how bidding activity might be decelerating as well. Here is the latest rundown:

— From Texas: “Prices are holding steady, which has some of the buying dealers expressing angst. They are accustomed to the typical fall drop-off, which hasn’t happened.”

— From Florida: “Vehicles with higher miles and questionable history reports continue to struggle on the dealer lanes.”

— From Arizona: “Our market seems to be slowing a bit as the sale started really strong but soon fizzled out.”

— From Georgia: “Bidders backed away from the really high floors. Passenger cars sold really well.”

— From Pennsylvania: “Still a very positive mood among the dealers here, but many expect a slight downturn soon.”
