LAWRENCEVILLE, Ga. — The latest Market Insights Report from Black Book shows growing depreciation rates in many car and truck segments, including compacts, “sporty” cars, and midsize SUVs and CUVs. Analysts noted the report also shows retention rates for segments such as near-luxury cars have fallen over the past few years.
“Last week, used-car values experienced the highest depreciation since January this year, driven by rising no-sales noticed at several auto auctions,” said Anil Goyal, executive vice president of operations for Black Book.
