The OPENLANE Price Index measures pricing trends by segment in our online marketplace. It represents the most recent prices obtained at auction and provides for a high level trend of pricing in the just concluded month relative to monthly pricing since January 2008. Given the market volatility of 2008 in general, we have continued to show trends with January 2008 as a baseline. We intend to change the index to show a rolling 13 months sometime in the future.
The OPENLANE Vehicle Interest trend is unique to OPENLANE and represents a leading indicator of what dealers are interested in acquiring for their used vehicle inventory. The index should help consignors get an early indicator for vehicle demand and provide high level insight on what they can expect in the marketplace over the next 30-60 days.
