Wholesale prices fell again in the week ending August 15, 2026, and trucks and luxury vehicles took the hardest hit. Here is how a softening market affects the pre-loss value your Georgia diminished value claim is built on.
The 2026 Monterey auctions closed at roughly $758 million, a 73% jump over 2025 and nearly 50% above forecast. Volume was flat, so the record came entirely from price.
