SPECIALTY MARKETS: COLLECTIBLE CARS

Amelia Island Auctions Top $80,000,000
"The collectible car world has gotten off to a very good start in 2019. The first two months of the year saw well over $500,000,000 in total sales, and the auctions held in association with the Amelia Island Concours d'Elegance added another $80,000,000. Many observers noted that they were starting to see a generational shift, as younger collectors are beginning to enter the hobby, while some older ones are winding down their collections."

RV Volume At Auctions Picks Up As Spring Arrives
"Now that spring is finally here, dealers are seeing an increase in floor traffic on their lots and strong interest at shows. We have noted an uptick in volume for the second month in a row at the wholesale auctions as dealers continue to fill out their inventories. Auction prices are mixed, with motorized units adding a little more than $1,500, while towables dipped slightly. We expect towable values to firm up as the weather continues to improve."

Powersports Market Beginning To Warm Up
"Entry-level, affordable, and mid-range units lead the way as the Powersports market enters spring. Warmer weather has brought most segments of the market significant increases in value, which is a welcome development as the retail selling season is upon us."

? Metric cruisers and street bikes see some of the largest month to month changes we have observed in a while. Metric cruisers are up nearly 4 percent, while the street bikes are up a similarly healthy 2.8 percent.
? The domestic V-Twin cruisers are up as well, but by about half as much as their metric counterparts, and within the segment, smaller bikes are outperforming the larger touring units.
? Metric cruisers, street bikes, and the smaller to medium sized V-Twins all share one thing in common: they are cheaper than their larger heavy cruiser and touring class brethren. This part of the market has been relatively stronger value retention wise for a while now, which is likely a result of changing demographics from the baby boomers beginning to age out of the market.
? For the off-road segments, which have not fared too well recently, it is a bit of a mixed bag. The dirt bikes are down 3.2%, while the ATVs are seeing a minor drop, and the utility vehicles are up nearly 2%. Snowmobiles have started to head south value wise, having never shown much strength this winter. The watercraft and jet boat segments are each up, but by fairly modest amounts.

supply of past years, average depreciation is increasing. ? With the average supply of units reaching rougher conditions, the market is starting to look more volatile.

? The Light-duty truck segment stabilized during March mostly due to the increased demand normally seen during the spring market.
? Auction prices over the past couple of months have continued a downward trend as demand in many areas has leveled off, while new and used supply continue to increase.
? Units in Classes 6 through 7 have increased in depreciation since the first of the year and we expect this trend to continue for the next couple of months as new inventory is also helping keep downward pressure on the market.
? Fuel prices are also taking a negative turn as prices have increased $0.06 (0.10%) in just four weeks.
