Manheim Used Vehicle Value Index (MUVVI): An industry benchmark, the MUVVI is a measurement of wholesale used-vehicle prices that is independent of underlying shifts in the characteristics of vehicles being sold. Published on the fifth business day of each month, the MUVVI serves as an early indicator of what will be seen in the retail used market. See the full Manheim Used Vehicle Value Index.
207.4 ⇑2.9%
Wholesale used-vehicle prices (on a mix, mileage, and seasonally adjusted basis) were lower in July compared to June. The Manheim Used Vehicle Value Index (MUVVI) declined to 207.4, which is still an increase of 2.9% from a year ago, while lower than June levels by 0.5%. The seasonal adjustment muted the results for the month, as non-seasonally adjusted values overall fell more than usual for the month. The non-adjusted price in July decreased 1.4% compared to June, which now makes the unadjusted average price higher by 3.0% year over year.
