Although there was some positive momentum in the scrap vehicle and metals markets during Q2, prices have still not recovered to their pre-2015 levels.

These trends and others are further highlighted in the Q2 Quarterly Charity Report.

During the second quarter of 2016, the trailer and motorhome segments continue to moderate from the highs of 2015, while equipment sales stumbled due to uneasy economic conditions.

The average actual cash value of Insurance carrier vehicles continues its streak in the second quarter of 2016, posting increases of 2.6% quarterly and 2.2% annually. Average age and mileage also dropped, which indicates higher-quality vehicles.

In the second quarter of 2016, a shift in inventory mix toward higher-quality vehicles helped boost the average selling price for the Remarketing Division. But even as market conditions headed in the right direction, abundant oversupply continued to damper the category.

The vehicle donation industry is making some serious noise in 2016. To help you get the most out of your vehicle donation program, the Charity Views team has identified some trends your organization should be taking advantage of.

While it looks like figures for some of the specialty segments are on the downswing, a closer look suggests that markets are simply stabilizing after the record highs of 2015. The boat and motorhome still posted annual gains, thanks to seasonality, an improved economy and continued demand for recreational vehicles.

There is good news for the donated vehicle industry. Although the beginning of 2016 proved challenging as diminishing vehicle quality pulled down average cash values, economic conditions seem to have turned a corner. Favorable exchange rates are applying upward pressure on values within the commodities market – these are the primary drivers of auction prices for donated vehicles.

There was some cause for cautious optimism during the first quarter of 2016, as whole crushed auto-body prices increased 3.1% relative to the prior quarter. The average actual cash value of insurance vehicles increased year-over-year, despite a slight quarterly decline. The year-over-year increase is no surprise when you consider both average age and mileage also decreased annually, indicating higher-quality vehicles.

For the automotive industry, 2016 started off with a bang. New-vehicle sales finished the first quarter higher than year-ago levels, which already has some analysts predicting another strong year. While this could add to oversupply issues over time, it didn’t negatively impact the current used-vehicle market, which experienced year-over-year and month-to-month price gains.
