LAWRENCEVILLE, Ga. -

How busy was last week in the auction lanes? Well, the per-day vehicle value adjustments that Black Book made was at a level not seen in the past year.

That’s according to the latest weekly video report from the company’s editorial director, Ricky Beggs.

“As we looked over the commentary from the Black Book survey personnel that are scattered all over the country visiting the auction lanes, only two comments did not reference good and busy activity, with firming or stable pricing,” Beggs said.  “One indicated the late models were a little down, while another described the 2015 model offerings were not as strong this past week.

“If there was one other less than positive comment, it wasn’t about market values, but our representative on the lanes in Wisconsin, said it was a ‘typical cold January day,’” he added.

The 2,398 vehicle values adjusted each day marked a high “for any week during the past year,” Beggs said.

Not to mention, two-fifths of the overall changes to values were increases. Trucks dominated the positive adjustment activity, as half of them increased in value compared to less than a quarter (23 percent) of cars.

The average segment change for cars was a downward move of $63. Oddly enough, trucks were down, too, in terms of average segment movement.

“The truck market, even with all the positive adjustments we mentioned earlier, still had a higher declining average change amount week over week at -$46 this past week,” Beggs said.

The only truck segment to increase was the compact SUV (up $19).
