  • Black Book-Fitch Ratings: Vehicle Depreciation Report 2019
    BLACK BOOK-FITCH RATINGS: VEHICLE DEPRECIATION REPORT 2019 APRIL 2019 Black Book - Fitch Ratings Vehicle Depreciation Report 2019 Used Vehicle Prices Unusually Strong in 2018; Vehicle Depreciation to Increase in 2019; Auto ABS Losses to Normalize Higher New light vehicle sales volume increased in 2018 to 17.3 million, from 17.1 million in 2017. It was the fourth-straight year where the auto industry saw 17+ million units sold. Sales came in ahead of forecast, pushed up by strong economic conditions. The tax cuts and the resulting growth in jobs created an unusually high demand for both new and used vehicles. The new vehicle sales were particularly higher for commercial and rental fleets, while retail sales registered a slight decline. Leasing penetration remains stable at around 30%. Incentive spending remained stable in 2018 as auto manufacturers remained disciplined on price promotions to drive sales of new vehicles. The tax cuts enabled fleets to take advantage of additional money to eplacer vehicles, while the slowdown in sedan sales continued. Car segments constituted only 31% of the new sales volume compared to 47% in 2014. SUVs and pickup trucks are driving more new sales, while competition is heating up in these segments as more auto manufacturers introduce new and redesigned products. While retail sales of new vehicles experienced a slight decline, the demand for affordable used vehicles continued to be strong. For all the talk of trucks and SUVs, 2018 was the year of used compact and mid-size sedans. After several years of declining prices, mainstream sedan segments saw a bounce up from the lows in the used market.

  • The Dealership of Tomorrow 2.0: America’S Car Dealers Prepare for Change
    The Dealership of Tomorrow 2.0: America’s Car Dealers Prepare for Change February 2020 An independent study by Glenn Mercer Prepared for the National Automobile Dealers Association The Dealership of Tomorrow 2.0 America’s Car Dealers Prepare for Change by Glenn Mercer Introduction This report is a sequel to the original Dealership of Tomorrow: 2025 (DOT) report, issued by NADA in January 2017. The original report was commissioned by NADA in order to provide its dealer members (the franchised new-car dealers of America) perspectives on the changing automotive retailing environment. The 2017 report was intended to offer “thought starters” to assist dealers in engaging in strategic planning, looking ahead to roughly 2025.1 In early 2019 NADA determined it was time to update the report, as the environment was continuing to shift. The present document is that update: It represents the findings of new work conducted between May and December of 2019. As about two and a half years have passed since the original DOT, focused on 2025, was issued, this update looks somewhat further out, to the late 2020s. Disclaimers As before, we need to make a few things clear at the outset: 1. In every case we have tried to link our forecast to specific implications for dealers. There is much to be said about the impact of things like electric vehicles and connected cars on society, congestion, the economy, etc. But these impacts lie far beyond the scope of this report, which in its focus on dealerships is already significant in size. Readers are encouraged to turn to academic, consulting, governmental and NGO reports for discussion of these broader issues.
