This week’s Market Insights Report takes a look at the latest depreciation and incentive trends on cars and trucks. Incentive levels are a good gauge of demand in comparison to the inventory levels. Interestingly, a number of sedan segments continue to experience higher a level of incentives, indicating that the inventory is not yet aligned to demand.

“Used vehicle values were stable with the abbreviated auction schedules last week and most auto auctions experienced lower demand,” said Anil Goyal, Executive Vice President, Operations, for Black Book.
