This week’s Black Book Market Insights report shows that cars have continued their strong spring cadence of sales and auction activity. The majority of smaller car segments, along with midsize cars, again saw price increases this past week, while just a few truck segments saw increases. The report also highlights how truck interest and incentives may have a consequential effect on used truck values in the future.
“The Spring market surge continues for small and mid-size cars while most truck segments see a decline,” said Anil Goyal, Executive Vice President, Operations.
