Arizona Auction Sales Once Again Top $250,000,000 “The unofficial sales numbers are in, and as of now they are a little less than $253,000,000. This year’s totals are slightly ahead of last year’s $251,000,000, although many returning auctions saw their numbers decline anywhere from twenty to thirty percent, primarily due a lack of entrants and sales in the “seven figure” range.”
Eric Lawrence, Principal Analyst - Specialty Markets
• Barrett-Jackson’s Scottsdale auction was both its largest and most successful event ever. Over 1,900
vehicles were sold at no reserve for a total of $129,700,000, with automobilia contributing an additional $3,700,000 and vehicles sold for charity adding $7,625,000, for a grand total of more than $141,000,000.
• Gooding’s Scottsdale auction had the final numbers come in at $35,867,560 on the sale of 123 of 138 vehicles, with a sell through of just under 89%. Even with several million dollar plus sales, including the highest of the week at $3,222,500, total sales lagged last year by roughly $12,000,000.
• RM Sotheby’s Scottsdale auction saw its sales totals reach $30,400,000 with a ninety percent sell through rate. Although sales were down roughly $5,000,000 from last year, modern supercars led the way with some impressive sales numbers. Vintage exotics also did well, with several million dollar plus results.
Notable Recent Auction Sales Include: 2020 Chevrolet C8 Coupe #001 $3,000,000 (Barrett-Jackson) 2017 Ford GT Coupe $1,485,000 (Barrett-Jackson) 1969 Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 Coupe $1,094,500 (Barrett-Jackson) 2019 McLaren Senna $946,000 (Barrett-Jackson) 1967 Ferrari 330 GTS $1,710,000 (RM Sotheby’s) 1971 Lamborghini Miura P400 SV $1,391,000 (RM Sotheby’s) 1955 Mercedes-Benz 300 SL Gullwing $1,270.000 (RM Sotheby’s) 1995 Ferrari F50 $3,222,500 (Gooding) 1948 Tucker 48 Sedan $2,040,000 (Gooding) 1972 Ferrari 365 GTS/4 Daytona Spider $1,930,000 (Gooding)

Powersports Values Mixed As Spring Approaches
“Now that we are firmly in the New Year, Powersports pricing has started to tick up in several markets, but remains a bit sluggish for others. The primary gainers are the road-going segments, while the off-road vehicles, including ATVs and Utility Vehicles, are mostly down.”
Scott Yarbrough, Senior Analyst - Motorcycle & Powersports
• We are beginning to see the first signs of dealers stocking up on inventory for the coming spring selling season, reflected in gains for the Cruisers and Street Bikes. This time of year generally marks the transition at the wholesale level from the slow winter market to the much more active spring selling season. Keep an eye out for more and larger gains for most units over the next few months.
• Our biggest increase this month is the Snowmobile segment, up 2.5%, which should not be surprising considering the time of year. After that comes the Cruisers, up 1.1%. The Street Bike segment follows closely at 1%, along with the Scooters, up 0.4%.
• The Domestic V-Twins are lagging a little behind their Metric counterparts this month, with an average increase of 0.6% versus 1.5%. Within that segment, the larger Touring bikes have performed a bit better than their smaller stablemates, something we have not seen in quite a while. The overall amounts were not huge, but it is still interesting and worth keeping an eye on in the future.
• The off-road segments have not fared as well overall. The ATVs are the biggest decliners, dropping 2%. The Utility Vehicles are down a bit less with a drop of 1%, while the Off-Road motorcycles are actually up about a half a percent.

Auction Values Show a Steady Depreciation Trend Through December “Auction activity is picking up after taking a couple of weeks off around the first of the year; however, buyers continue to be very selective as used supply remains strong.” Andrew Floto – Automotive Analyst
• Overall, both the Over-The-Road and Regional segments continued a steady depreciation trend
over December. • While these units are starting to get more attention, the wholesale market is still inundated with
inventory. • The Construction/Vocational segment showed a slight improvement as these units have a bit more
demand at this time of year.

New and Used Supply Continues to Out Pace Demand “Medium Duty depreciation improves in January following increasing value drops during the second half of 2019.” Josh Giles - Principal Automotive Analyst

• Late model units (2017 – 2018) dropped an overall weighted average of $516 (1.1%) in January, compared to the
$1,721 (3.6%) depreciation witnessed in December. • Older model year units (2009 – 2016) dropped an overall weighted average of $223 (1.0%) in January, compared
to the $499 (2.3%) drop in December.
• Due to a lack of auction activity prices in January were a bit more stable than what we witnessed in December. • Overall, the market continues to depreciate, and reports are indicating that the first quarter of 2020 will be tough
for used prices as over supply continues to put downward pressure on the used inventory. • New truck orders, for classes 3 - 7 were up in December compared to November numbers. This is not unusual for
the end of the year; however, as inventory in some segments continue to pile up, this could be an indication of an even weaker market for the first half of 2020.
• Overall, medium duty units continue to get more and more expensive as OEMs introduce newer models each year with increasing and improved technology and safety features. The graph above illustrates the average value of used 4 – 10-year-old units since 2010. This group of trucks have increase 157% in 10 years.
