BLACK BOOK – We recently published an update to our COVID-19 Specialty Markets Updates, which includes:

  • The Powersports, Collectible Vehicles, RV, and MD/HD Trucks and Commercial Trailers Markets

  • Industry Comments, Pricing Trends, Dealer Sentiment, and other insights

Powersports values continue to increase. In what has been a truly unprecedented year, nearly all segments of the Powersports industry have flourished after a rough start this spring. For November, all segments we cover have seen increases in value, most by significant amounts. The single biggest concern across the industry is a lack of inventory. Both at the retail and wholesale levels, normal sources of new inventory remain constrained compared to normal times. Until either inventory availability increases, or consumer demand drops, we foresee pricing remaining elevated.
