Fleet Vehicle Values Are Up in 2025 — Here’s Why Smart Sellers Are Acting Now

New data from Cox Automotive shows rising prices and fewer incentives — iAutoAgent helps you sell smarter in today’s hot market.

If you're holding onto fleet vehicles in hopes the market will improve — stop waiting. The market is already here.

According to the April 2025 ATP (Average Transaction Price) Report by Cox Automotive, the average price for a new vehicle jumped to $48,699, a 2.5% month-over-month increase — the largest April spike since 2020. That’s not just a trend — it’s a signal.

At the same time, sales incentives have dropped to 6.7%, the lowest we've seen since summer 2024. In other words, buyers are paying more and getting fewer discounts.

For fleet owners, contractors, and business managers in places like Chesterfield, Affton, and Sappington, this creates a rare opportunity to maximize returns on aging or underused fleet vehicles.

Why This Matters If You Own Fleet Vehicles

Here’s what the data means for your bottom line:

• Your vehicles are worth more
  With ATPs rising across the board, used and pre owned fleet vehicles — including vans, SUVs, and work trucks — are in high demand. If you've ever wondered when to sell fleet vehicles, the answer is: now.

• New vehicles are becoming less attractive
  As incentives drop, more buyers are shifting their attention to preowned options. That means more buyers are entering the used vehicle market — and they're looking for well-maintained, reliable vehicles like yours.

• SUVs and vans hold their value
  Segments like compact SUVs held steady in price ($36,416), even as incentives fell to 7.8% of ATP. This makes vehicles in your fleet — from service vans to pre owned SUVs — especially attractive to private buyers and small business owners alike.
