Wholesale used vehicle prices (on a mix-, mileage-, and seasonally adjusted basis) increased 0.72 percent month-over-month in October. This brought the Manheim Used Vehicle Value Index to 140.9, a 3.4 percent increase from a year ago and a record high for the Index. Looking at trends in weekly Manheim Market Report (MMR) prices, October saw continued normalizing depreciation. Even after that normalization, three-year-old vehicles ended October worth 3.5 percent more than they would normally have been worth had typical depreciation occurred instead of the abnormal appreciation observed this summer.
