Overview
Cox Automotive’s Manheim Market Insights Series released Episode 40 on Jan. 23 as a mid-month check-in on used-vehicle conditions. The brief spotlights the Manheim Used Vehicle Value Index (MUVVI), days’ supply, affordability, and electric-vehicle pricing across retail and wholesale, directing readers to a video and a downloadable presentation rather than publishing headline figures on the page.
What’s covered
- Values (MUVVI): Mid-January snapshot, with full-month results to follow after month-end.
- Days’ supply: Inventory levels tracked for signs of tightening or slackening availability.
- Affordability: Ongoing monitoring of key affordability indicators.
- EV pricing: Trends reviewed in both retail and wholesale channels.
Presenter and approach
The update is presented by Jonathan Gregory, a senior manager on the Economic and Industry Insights team, drawing on proprietary data from across Cox Automotive brands. The series provides a concise, data-driven read of wholesale and retail market conditions.
Placement within the Insights Hub
The episode sits within the Insights Hub alongside recurring dashboards and summaries. Related items include a deeper dive on mid-January 2026 MUVVI trends, the Auto Market Weekly Summary, and analysis of December used-retail sales. The page links out to those reports for underlying figures.
Access and cadence
Published in the third week of each month, the episode page is labeled a one-minute read and funnels to the video and downloadable deck. For topline numbers, readers are directed to the MUVVI mid-month trends page.
