On an index basis, J.D. Power’s Used Vehicle Price Index increased by 8.3% in May vs. April and prices ended the period 6.8% below May 2019’s level.
“Wholesale auction prices improved for the sixth consecutive week through the week ending May 31. Prices grew by an impressive 14 percentage points during this time which is a substantial improvement from the 16% trough recorded the week ending April 19,” said David Paris, executive analyst at J.D.
