Comments on Used Car Auction Data (March 2024)

The number of auctions held in March increased one auction each of six sites, including HAA Kobe and Kyushu and decreased one auction each of seven sites, including Tokyo and Sapporo compared to the same month in the previous fiscal year because of calendar factors.

As a result, number of consigned vehicles was down 12.5% (YoY) and number of contract completions was up 9.4% (YoY).

Year on year comparison (calendar factor adjusted)

After adjusting for calendar-related factors, the results for USS Group auctions in March 2024 compared with the corresponding period of the previous year (March 3, 2023 to April 2, 2023) were as follows.
