Cox Automotive reported that the Manheim Used Vehicle Value Index, which tracks the prices of used vehicles sold at its U.S. wholesale auctions, increased by 1.7% year-over-year (y-o-y) in August 2025, according to its own release. It typically takes six to eight weeks for retail prices of used vehicles to reflect changes in wholesale prices. Demand for affordable, used vehicles has led to tighter supply. Preliminary data from vAuto revealed that retail used-vehicle sales increased by more than 9% y-o-y in August, while supply declined to 42 days, down from 44 days in August 2024.
