While volume in secondary commercial truck markets dropped in January for both the resale and auction channels, the Fair Market Value (FMV) and Forced Liquidation Value (FLV) slipped less than 1%, according to the latest Price Digests Commercial Truck Report. The average age increased on both channels as average usage went down.
In other market highlights, the report notes:
- The volume in January in comparison to last year was down significantly for the resale channel, but up on auction as the channel of choice shifted.
- Average age on the resale channel dropped in comparison to last year, but was up significantly for the auction channel with opposite changes in usage.
- The year over year FMV drop was likely due to the number of older models available.
- The report forecasts February to bring increases in auction volume causing FLV changes slightly higher than other months.
