US EditionManheim Used Vehicle Value Index Rises in June as Auto Market Continues To Be Impacted by Tariff-Driven Volatility
UNITED STATES, JUL 8 – Used electric vehicle prices rose 12.1% year-over-year in June, more than double the increase for internal combustion engine vehicles, amid ongoing supply shortages and tariff impacts.
- In June 2025, the value gauge tracking wholesale used vehicle prices climbed to 208.5, marking a 6.3% increase compared to the same month last year and reaching its peak level since October 2023.
- This rise follows a prior surge in new vehicle buying triggered by President Trump's 25% tariff on imported autos, which drove early spring demand before sales fell substantially in May and June.
- The luxury segment increased 8.8%, EV wholesale prices jumped 12.1% year-over-year, and retail used-vehicle sales dipped 1.5% month-over-month but rose 2% year-over-year in June, reflecting ongoing price and sales volatility.
- Jeremy Robb of Cox Automotive noted volatile wholesale appreciation trends in Q2 due to tariffs impacting new sales and supply, while off-lease supply declined and retail sales remained hotter than prior years.
- Cox Automotive expects retail used-vehicle sales to total approximately 20.1 million units in 2025, marking a 1.2% rise from 2024, with continued strong pricing supported by limited inventory and the ongoing impact of tariffs on the market.
