This week dealers will see that the Canadian used wholesale market experienced a decline in prices of -0.52% for the period ending on Nov. 4, which is notably more than the prior week’s -0.27% decrease.
That is according to Canadian Black Book’s latest Market Insights report, which found that the car segment was down -0.40% this period versus the prior week’s -0.30%. Truck and SUV segment prices dropped to -0.63% from the previous period’s -0.25%. No segment values increased this week.
“The Canadian market continued to decrease, and the overall decrease was larger than the historical average,” said CBB in its update. “Supply remains low with high demand for more recent and clean condition vehicles on both sides of the border.”
