From Manheim Consulting today: Wholesale Used-Vehicle Prices Declined in October
Wholesale used-vehicle prices (on a mix, mileage, and seasonally adjusted basis) were lower in October compared to September. The Manheim Used Vehicle Value Index (MUVVI) fell to 202.8, a decline of 3.2% from a year ago. The seasonal adjustment to the index reduced the change for the month, as non-seasonally adjusted values declined at a higher rate. The non-adjusted price in October decreased by 1.9% compared to September, moving the unadjusted average price down 3.7% year over year.
