The popular tax season segment, compact cars, had a fifth week of gains at 0.99%, similar to the prior week’s 1.02% adjustment, Black Book found. The near luxury car segment was the only car segment to see a decline this past week, but it was small at only down 0.10%.

The truck segments also increased the rate of gains this past week at 0.33%, compared to 0.22% the week prior, Black Book said. Supply of delivery vans continues to be low and this is seen in the gains of the compact and full-size van segments.
The full-size luxury crossover/SUV segment was the only truck segment to see a decline in values this past week, but the declines were small at only down 0.15%, Black Book said. Full-size trucks continue to be in high demand and the rate of increase is growing each week, up 0.46% this past week compared to 0.29% the week prior.
