“Dealers say they are building inventory around the July 4th Holiday.” David in TX
“The dealers say they need inventory and are searching all of the resources to find their type of vehicles.” Matt in CO
“Had a lot of comments about high prices from dealers trying to buy nice, low mileage trucks.” Roy in NC
“Most of the sales resulted from online buyers as there weren’t many people in the lanes.” Herb in PA
Retention Ranking of Crossover/SUV Segments 2015 Model Year, Wholesale Average as Percent of Typically-Equipped MSRP
While new entrants continue to arrive in the Sub-Compact Crossover segment, early models in this new
segment have not performed well in comparison to other Crossover/SUV segments.
Vehicle Highlight 2018 Toyota C-HR is a new sub-compact crossover vehicle. Under the hood is a 2.0 L inline 4-cylinder engine producing 144 HP and 139 lb-ft of torque linked to a CVT powering the front wheels. MSRP will range from $22,500 in the XLE to $24,530 in the XLE Premium. A few competitors include the Honda HR-V, Nissan Juke, Mazda CX-3 and Jeep Renegade.

Early June Auctions Achieve Strong Results “In addition to the usual assortment of muscle cars and American classics,
collectible vehicles of all types, including vintage motorcycles and pre-WWII
European exotics, had strong showings at the various auctions held in late May and
the first part of June. We expect this pattern to continue for the remainder of the summer and into fall.”
Eric Lawrence, Director of Specialty Markets
RM Sotheby’s Villa Erba Sale, held on the scenic shores of Lake Como in Italy, was very successful, with total sales topping $28,000,000. Coach built pre-WWII cars drew the most attention and the highest bids.
Mecum’s Vintage Motorcycle Auction, held in Las Vegas, achieved sales of $4,400,000 on the sale of 339 classic motorcycles, with a conversion rate of 80%. Vincents and Indians accounted for seven of the top ten sales. Surprisingly, no Harley-Davidsons cracked the top ten, although their overall sales numbers were solid.
Bonhams’ Greenwich and Leake’s Tulsa auctions were also quite successful, accounting for $7,380,000 and $8,100,000 respectively, with corresponding sell through rates of 94% and 74%. Bonhams’ sale was held in conjunction with the Greenwich Concours d’Elegance, and Leake marked its 45th anniversary in Tulsa.
Notable Recent Auction Sales Include:
1950 Vincent Black Shadow $95,000 (Mecum)
1932 Indian Chief $77,000 (Mecum)

RV Values at Auction Soften as Wholesale Activity Slows “The wholesale values of both towables and motor homes were lower last month,
and the volume of vehicles that were sold at auction also dropped off quite a bit.
This is a fairly normal seasonal pattern for this time of year, as most dealers have been aggressively
stocking up their inventory for the past several months to be ready for their prime selling seasons. What
we are seeing now is more selective buying to fill holes on their lots and to replace sold units.” Eric Lawrence, Director of Specialty Markets
For Motor Homes (including Class A, B, and C)
Average selling price was $40,244, down $905 (2.1%) from previous month
One year ago, the average selling price was $42,010
Auction volume was down 20% from the previous month
For Towables (including Travel Trailers and Fifth Wheels)
Average selling price was $11,835, down $1,756 (12.9%) from previous month
One year ago, the average selling price was $11,352

Powersports Market Approaches Seasonal Shift “The Powersports market appears to have reached its peak level for 2017 as values for most of the on-road segments begin to decline this month, while prices for soon to be in-demand fall units are starting to rise.”
Scott Yarbrough, Motorcycle & Powersports Editor
Late June/early July typically sees most of the Powersports market reach peak values at the auctions as warm weather continues to draw buyers to showrooms for the next few months, keeping retail demand strong, but it also marks the turning point at the wholesale level where dealers become more selective about what units they add to their inventory as they want to draw down the number of street bikes heading into cooler weather.
The biggest decliners this month are Scooters, down nearly 3%, followed closely by the Street Bikes, down almost 2%. The Cruisers faired a little better, only down a bit over 1%. All of these segments will surely continue to drop in value going forward, with only a few highly desirable units likely to buck overall market trends.
This month’s biggest gainers are the off-road segments, which usually do better as we approach the fall. Dirt bikes are up by a little under 3%, with Dual Sports up by nearly 2%. ATVs are also up by 1.5%, but the larger Utility Vehicles have not followed suit. They are down around 1%, continuing a trend we have seen over the past nine months or so of returning to more “normal” levels of price performance compared to their “red hot” value retention over the past several years.

Values of Traditional Long Nose Trucks Are Dropping!
“The Long Hood, Long Wheelbase Big Power Conventionals have
lost a little of their grip on Value Retention and are dropping more
in recent sales.”
Charles Cathey, Editor – Heavy Duty Truck Data
It started showing up a couple of months back, and towards the end of April
and in May, these trucks, late models mostly, dropped quite a bit, although the older they get the depreciation
slows up quite a bit. For a while we have talked about how Over the Road Tractors continue to depreciate.
Upstream venues have pulled some of the real nice used trucks out before they reach auction. This is another factor
affecting the average sale price. There are still more buyers than sellers, so we expect similar results as long as this
mismatch holds up. Conventional/ Vocational Trucks continue to do well.

Limited Supply Softens Depreciation
“Scarcity in Used Supply Is Helping to Stabilize Wholesale Values.”
Josh Giles, Senior Truck Editor
Overall the wholesale market continues its downward trend. Late model units
(2014-2015) performed well in June. This segment dropped an average of $70 (0.02%) last month. Medium
duty buyers are running their units longer than they have in recent years, therefore used supply in many
areas is limited. This is helping to improve overall depreciation. Most of the newer units you see at auction
are there for a reason and their transaction prices reflect their undesirability.
Older units (2006-2013) also retained their values well in June. These units dropped an average of $86
(0.05%). The strength of the pre-emissions units is forcing many 2006-2007 and older models to be worth
just as much if not more than some 2008 and newer units. As used supply dwindles, these older units are
more desirable than ever. It is going to be interesting to watch these units as more and more late models
are released into the market, putting even more pressure on the 2008 – 2016 model year trucks.

With no signs of increasing too much in the near future, fuel is one of the few pieces of the industry that we
hope drop in value. The current national average for a gallon of diesel is $2.49. This is $0.05 cheaper than
last month. Unfortunately, this is also $0.06 more expensive than this time last year. Hopefully these stable
prices will continue for a while.
