In the ever-evolving world of post-pandemic adjustments, the market for used trucks is experiencing a shift. While it’s true that inventory levels are on the rise, there are signs that prices are starting to flatten out. This presents a window of opportunity for sellers to act and capitalize on the current market conditions.
During the pandemic, when new truck production slowed down, the demand for used trucks soared, driving up their value. However, as the market has begun to balance itself out with the resumption of new equipment production, selling values have gradually decreased, offering buyers the chance to secure excellent deals and sellers the opportunity to upgrade to newer equipment.
Industry statistics reveal that the market continues to favor buyers, indicating that sellers should take advantage of the current state of affairs. Trends suggest that truck values will continue to decrease heading into the next year, making it crucial for sellers to act promptly.
While projections from CCJ Digital indicate a potential 40% drop in the truck market by year-end, it’s important to note that delaying the sale may result in extended waiting periods for a better time to sell. In line with this data, Sandhills Global’s analysis, based on their vehicle sales index, reveals a notable rise in semi-truck inventory levels, with an increase of 14.63% between April and May, and an impressive 41.49% growth since May 2022. Correspondingly, auctioning values have decreased by 30.12% since May 2022.
Considering these insights and CCJ’s findings, it’s evident that auction values for semi-trucks will continue to decline throughout the year. Therefore, acting now becomes paramount. Delaying the sale further will only result in greater depreciation of your truck’s value.
