With the large declines in the market, buyers are being more hesitant to pay any extra money for inventory.

The pace of wholesale price changes picked up last week as inventory and incentives continued to increase.

After three months of accelerated wholesale price drops, the first week of August brought the largest single-week decline in the overall market since October.

The compact car segment had the largest decline among cars, though it was still less than the prior week’s decline of 0.94%.

All nine car segments decreased last week.

The first week of July, there was a slight increase in auction volume and more repossessions hitting the lanes.

The Used Retail Active Listing Volume Index currently sits at 1.01 points, above the 1.00 mark for the first time this year.

All but one of the nine car segments decreased last week.

Sub-Compact Car reported the largest drop last week, down -0.75%. The prior week, the segment also had the largest decline for cars, with a decrease of -0.89%.

Analysts predict downward shift over the last two months will continue.
