This was a 24.9% increase over the previous month’s trade index price that coincided with a significant decrease in floored inventory across the country, which dropped under 1.2 million units on the ground nationally.
The decrease in national inventory seemed to have an effect on the trade prices that selling dealers were able to receive for new inventory throughout the month of April.
