The index rose to 212.9 in June, up 2.1% from a year ago, though essentially flat compared to May.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After a strong spring selling season fueled by tax-refund activity pushed wholesale values to some of their highest levels in years, the market has spent the past several months normalizing \u2014 leaving prices roughly 1% below their March peak but still above year-ago levels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For independent dealers, affordability continues to be the defining trend of 2026. Older, more budget-friendly units have shown some of the strongest price appreciation this year, a sign that value-focused shoppers remain active even as overall demand cools slightly from its spring highs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Looking ahead, Cox Automotive is watching an expected ramp in off-lease vehicle supply \u2014 particularly EVs \u2014 heading into the second half of the year. That wave of returning inventory could pressure values in specific segments, even as the broader market holds firm. Dealers stocking older, budget-conscious inventory may be well positioned heading into the fall selling season.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Wholesale used-vehicle prices closed out the first half of 2026 on solid footing, according to the latest Manheim&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":6380,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"csco_singular_sidebar":"","csco_page_header_type":"","csco_appearance_grid":"","csco_page_load_nextpost":"","csco_post_video_location":[],"csco_post_video_location_hash":"","csco_post_video_url":"","csco_post_video_bg_start_time":0,"csco_post_video_bg_end_time":0,"footnotes":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"categories":[3,12],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-7501","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-industry","category-sales-marketing","cs-entry","cs-video-wrap"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/niada.com\/dashboard\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7501","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/niada.com\/dashboard\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/niada.com\/dashboard\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/niada.com\/dashboard\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/niada.com\/dashboard\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=7501"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/niada.com\/dashboard\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7501\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":7502,"href":"https:\/\/niada.com\/dashboard\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7501\/revisions\/7502"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/niada.com\/dashboard\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/6380"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/niada.com\/dashboard\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=7501"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/niada.com\/dashboard\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=7501"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/niada.com\/dashboard\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=7501"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
