The Real Car Business

As a whole, the market has leveled from the increases we watched late January through March. I see domestic full size SUV and "luxury" pick up trucks declining. Sports and cvt's peaked very quickly and may have already declined (Corvette as an example); however, this segment was VERY strong this year. Camry and Prius suffer still ; 09 Prius w/23K sells @ $14600. 2010 LE Camry as low as $14600. RAV , Tacoma, and Corolla all firm however. CR-V EX(L) very firm; difficult to buy at auction; 09 NAV w/19K Wednesday in CT sold at $23700. Pilot selection/#'s crossing the block are down which has pushed values up a bit. There are no more 2009 Pathfinder or XTerra rental/program units in the pipeline , so when one hits the block its near record high! Accords, Altimas , Sonata readily available at auction; selective buying here a good opportunity even as these "discount" units butt up against very attractive new car deals. Higher mileage (non-retail) unit
