According to analysis by Black Book, a handful of segments are showing distinct depreciation patterns over the past 16 weeks. In contrasting patterns, the Full-Size pickups have depreciated just 1.8% while the Entry-Level Cars have depreciated 10.5% in a relatively short amount of time. Black Book is paying close attention to this segment as more off-lease and rental units could place even more downward pressure on this segment.

“The Entry Level Car segment continues to drop lower even after experiencing the most depreciation in the last 4 months. It will be interesting to see trends on late model vehicles as more off-lease and rental cars are beginning to show up at auctions,” said Anil Goyal, Vice President of Automotive Valuation and Analytics.

• Overall, the volume-weighted car values decreased by 0.48% last week. This is similar to the average depreciation rate seen in the previous 12 weeks.
• Entry Level Car and Entry Mid-Size Car segments performed the worst with values dropping by nearly 1% last week.
• Overall, the volume-weighted truck values decreased by 0.28% last week. This is similar to the average depreciation rate seen in the previous 12 weeks.
• Mini Van Cargo segments dropped the most by 0.8% while Compact Pickup and Compact SUV segments increased in value last week.
