Welcome to the 2018 Cox Automotive Used Car Market Report & Outlook. What used to be the Manheim Used Car Market Report has been reinvented and expanded, but we’ve maintained a decades-long tradition of packing these pages with salient data, smart insights and keen observations about the used car industry with an eye toward 2018 and beyond.

We’ve put our best thinking in one place to help our partners make sense of the trend lines and headlines that will shape the market in 2018.  Our crystal ball is no clearer than anyone else’s in this time of rapid and abrupt change. But the collection of insights in this book is based on our reams of data, years of experience, and millions of touch points with dealers, lenders, manufacturers, consignors and consumers. We hope this report helps you navigate 2018 and the years that follow.
