This week’s Black Book Market Insights report shows used vehicles across most segments depreciating at a steady rate, with the report spotlighting Compact Car retention trends dating back to 2005. Only two vehicle segments, Compact Vans and Sub-Compact Luxury Crossover, maintained or increased their value.

"Used vehicle prices and sale conversion rates at the auctions hold firm. Post-hurricane sales activity continues but is slowing down in the Houston region,” said Anil Goyal, Senior Vice President of Automotive Valuation and Analytics.
