We have now had ten consecutive weeks of wholesale value increases, during a time that traditionally experiences large week-over-week declines.

The seasonally adjusted Retention Index increased to 180.2 points, continuing to hit records.
The fourth quarter is traditionally when the market experiences most of the yearly depreciation, but after just one month in the quarter, values are reporting appreciation of more than 3.0%.
