LAWRENCEVILLE, Ga. -

There are a lot of things typical for autumn: leaves changing colors, the World Series and the air getting cooler (sort of). 

This autumn, the pattern in used-car values is anything but typical. 

Used vehicles continue to hold their values better than what’s expected for this time of year, according to Black Book, which said trucks remain ahead of their car counterparts when it comes to price retention.

The latest Black Book Market Insights report indicates that car segments depreciated 0.38 percent last week. That was on par with the four weeks prior, when depreciation averaged 0.37 percent.

Trucks, with 0.25 percent depreciation last week, are holding their values better than cars, but their depreciation did climb. In the prior four weeks, average depreciation for trucks was 0.20 percent.

“Depreciation levels remain better than typical fall-season trends. Truck segments continue to perform better than cars in weekly depreciation,” said Anil Goyal, the company’s senior vice president of automotive valuation and analytics, in the report.

Breaking it down by segment, the car category with the best retention was the full-size cars, which was off just 0.19 percent. Premium sporty cars had the greatest depreciation at 0.59 percent.

For trucks, full-size crossovers/SUVs led the way, as their values depreciated only 0.02 percent. Small pickups showed the most depreciation at 1.09 percent.

Black Book’s data includes used vehicles from model-years 2009 through 2015 and reflects volume-weighted wholesale average values.
