Motorcycle & PowerSports Auction Sale Prices Rise First Quarter of 2010

In previous blogs, I have mentioned Manheim Specialty's focus on booking out all of the Specialty units (RVs, Boats, Motorcycles, PowerSports) we offer for sale with NADA values.  This allows us to track our Specialty locations performance against NADA, understand current market conditions and look for trends in performance from year to year. 

Here are a few key points about our Manheim Specialty NADA performance for Motorcycles/PowerSports in 2010.  For reference, we track our Motorcycle/PowerSports performance against the Clean Trade-In/Wholesale NADA value. 

• On average, Motorcycles and PowerSports sold at Manheim Specialty locations in Q1 2010 achieved 94% of NADA
• Motorcycles averaged 94% of NADA
• PowerSports averaged 93% of NADA
• March 2010 saw sale prices rise to 98% of NADA
• Q1 2010 NADA performance (94%) was higher than Q1 2009 NADA performance (86%)
