BIGGEST USED CAR PRICE SHIFT IN 12 YEARS!
Вставка
- Опубліковано 14 жов 2024
- In today's video we're talking about how used car prices seem to be shifting massively at the moment. I bid on a Skoda that goes £500 over book but a lovely looking Range Rover sells for £4650 UNDER book!
Is this a sign of things to come, is the market slowing down. Watch the video and hear my thoughts!

Bought a mk1 Citroen Berlingo 1.6 petrol 2007. I keep getting notes left on my windscreen if want to sell.I paid £2200 for it 6 yrs ago. Been offered a £2500 lots of times. Bought my daughters 2011 yaris 11 yrs ago £5500 just pex it for 2500. Not bad for 11 yrs motoring. My dad was in the motor trade and he told me never to waste money on cars, they are depreciating assets and motoring is not enjoyable in this country any more. Just saying. Also all over media how insurance has gone mad
I never understand why people spend the cost of a mortgage on what is essentially a driveway ornament. Look at how much time you actually drive your car it equates to, what, 1-3% of your time. Why waste so much on something you use so little?
I bought a k11 micra on ebay 7 yrs ago for £300 as a stop gap. 7 yrs later I've only spent on general maintenance ie tyres, brakes, shocks & servicing. V8 Mercedes to 1l micra and never looked back.
Shows how desperate people are to work and do tiny jobs
" usually " the more you spend on a car the more you loose , I've always bought reasonably priced cars kept them a couple of years and usually lost a grand on them ,
5 years ago I pushed the boat right out and paid 9k for. 3 year old honda civic from a honda main dealer ,
Yet iv recently seen dealers asking 8k for civics same year as mine ,
Madness
I can attest to insurance prices. Colleague of mine had a £150 per annum increase for the exact number of miles as a year before, except with another year NCD
Me? I got stung £360 per annum with another year NCD. Nothing had changed except my car depreciated by another year, I gained another year NCD but made sweet FA difference.
The increase was with changing insurance company as my insurer who I had been with for a couple of years, made an offer that demonstrated that they had no interest in keeping me on.
Definitely a change happening with used car prices.
We cant overpay for everything forever so hopefully cost of living will improve soon 🙏
Very interesting Mr. Betty. I used to go to car auctions in Co. Antrim, (Wilson's). In the 1980's I remember buying an old Renault 5 for £75.00, driving it home to Ballyclare and starting to dung it out. Amazingly the pull out ash tray yielded a wad of paper money. Over £100.00. Don't know how the previous owner, or the drivers etc. at the auction missed it. It was my 'refreshment' fund for a few weeks. Happy days. All the best.
That was a bonus! 🤑
All range rovers have dropped a massive amount over the last 6 months, there are lots for sale on the Facebook owners groups that have been for sale for months. Some insurance companies won't touch them
It's mad how many( some high mileage,but good condition lots of history) 2013 onwards Range Rovers/Sports for £15K! I wonder how low they will go.
@@johnmunro4952It seems to be related more to the cost of insuring them. A relative in the insurance business tells me they are the single “most stolen” car in London postcodes (with many said to be going to Russia, where the oligarch’s favourite is no longer legally available due sanctions) with the result that the cost of insuring a new one is astronomical. It seems astonishing, but he said £15,000 annual premium, if you can get it at all. At some point in the depreciating value of a Range Rover, the insurance cost will simply not be worth it to the kind of buyer it attracts - eg I might be happy to pay £30000 for 2015 Range Rover, but would baulk at paying £8,000 to insure it (thus paying double for it over 4 years).
That’s the problem
@@johnmunro4952 I would only pay £16k for a 2016 now, sellers will only be able to get rid if there cheap
But, every knows RR are money pits. Like the plastic fittings on bmws, Audis… people get wise to huge parts and labour costs and do their research in our days. Reliability and cheaper services are the order of the day
Had my range rover sport stolen. Was looking at replacing it, same 2017 plate. My insurance company will no longer insure it nor would a few others.
Same issue with range rover.
Best quote I got was 15k insurance for 30k car. That's insane. Switched to something else.
Wow this a treat Joe as there is f--k all on telly worth watching.
Glad to help 👍
Really interesting to hear whats happening on the inside, before it (hopefully) filters through to everyone else!! Thanks Joe
Got to say I bought a KIA Rio GT Line in January 2020 (pre-pandemic) from a main dealer (3500 miles on the clock) for £13K, and having looked at valuations, is now worth £12K with 29,000 miles on the clock, mad!
It has been mad but starting to turn now I think!
Not for long prices going to drop big time.sell now if you thinking of changing.
In 2017 I bought a Peugeot 108 retail from a garage. It was an ex mobility car, a 2015 year so 18 months old and had 1079 miles. It was unmarked. I paid £5300. It is still worth that figure today with 35,000 miles. Awesome little car that hasn't cost me anything except new rotors and pads and 2 front tyres. Oh, and its free road tax for life.
EDIT, I just saw the same model, same year but with 51,000 miles for sale on a garage forecourt for £6,995. Incredible
Would have been £3000 at auction back in 2017 !
Webuyanycar , bca , plandemic supply issues for parts , cinch , cazoo joined the market , causing prices to sore ! The cake is only so big and to many big players !
Such a shame to see bca / webuyanycar losing money this year !
Cazoo and cinch struggling or going bust !
@shifting metal have you tried doing a car buying side to your business like wbac ? Calvin car diaries
Wouldn’t trust UKCGR cars . Bca sure reports can not be trusted !
Insightful market update - enjoyed watching. Would be interested in the other vids you mentioned.
Coming soon!
Brill 👍
I'll be picking up a big motorway wagon for work in 2024 if premium cars are tumbling.
This is great news if that's what you are in the market for 👌
Excellent video , your YT channel just continues to get better and better.
Glad you think so! 👍
Always interesting to hear your insights into the business, I would like to think that people will shop around and based on your good prep and customer service you should be ok. We have all heard of these garages who try and sell tons of extras when you buy a car from them.
Interesting Joe as the Range Rover new would have been close to 100k and now bought for 20k. Like the Jag XK you bought good margin if you get sold soon. Bargain cars that Sophie is looking at for £500 making £1800 before you even think of retailing every thing is a little crazy currently. Great format keep them coming.
Yeah, that’s a serious depreciation! 🤢
@@ShiftingMetal I tried to insure one in Birmingham. It would cost thousands. Only pays to have one if you live in mid-Wales! You can't get insurance in London.
Hi Joe. It's very true what your saying. Over here in Ireland you can't even get a small clean Car at a good price. There all going up in Value. Lee from "Car UK" put a video out during the week and he has Sold everything on his Lot. Lee is a great guy. Very Honest and he's selling Corsa's. Fiesta. Fiat 500. Mini's. For £2k, £3k and £4k as you probably know already. It's a strange time to be a Car Dealer. I did it for years in Uxbridge. West London and got my Cars from BCA in Wimbledon but I moved back to Ireland in 2017. It's just getting to hard Joe. You have great Stock and seem to know what's going on. So i wish you luck.. You have a great Channel. So keep Slogging away bro. 😅😅 🇨🇮🇨🇮
Thanks Liam 👍
Trouble with buying a second hand Range Rover on the cheap is when it breaks down, you have to fix an 80k vehicle.
B.c.a are part of the same group, they control new car sales, auction prices, px prices through cinch, Marshall etc and they control the cheaper end of the market with we buy any car. I used to work for them and watched it happen, every purchase of any of these companies contributes to this.
Yes and they still lost £100M last year!
If you lose money on the books, you don't pay tax. it doesn't mean it is actually losing money.. will just be getting 'lost' in the accounting to avoid tax.@@ShiftingMetal
@@ShiftingMetal companies house say they made an £84,000 profit
Great vlog there, really informative. This must have you worried a tad that it may suddenly drop altogether and crash, but I hope it works in you and Berrow's favour.
I thought this with regards to value going down, 2 months ago we buy any car offered 8k for mine, now yesterday it was 6k, 2 grand is massive in a few mths, think like you said its going to get worse. I remember the good old days in late 90s early 2000's i'd get the trade-it paper and go straight to the cars for £500 and under section, you could get some great bargains back in the day.
Ah the good old days, I used to buy Autotrader on a Thursday morning 7am and quickly get on the phone to get the bargains.
Like someone’s mentioned, it’s insurance but also in my area it’s ULEZ. I had to sell my car as it wasntnULEZ compliant
Got a quote for an old TDv8 on the weekend. The cheapest comp was £1700! 200 miles from London. That's with maximum no claims and no points. For an 8 k car. Madness indeed.
Something is happening with larger engined premium 4x4 - my old 2019 BMW X3 M Sport 30D saw its WBAC drop drastically at each bid - got £25500 from a dealer as a P/Ex but its still sat in the dealer network 3 months on dropped from forecourt £28k to £26,500 this week…
Tesla driver i know personally has had his insurance go up over 400 Percent, Needless to say its getting binned off just as soon as he can.
Range Rover insurance cost rises (particularly in cities) is hitting values, as well as non compliant cars for ULEZ etc.
Very true!
I just bought my wife a 2010 Toyota Aygo 43k on clock and had to pay 3000 for it. Trader said big engine cars aint selling too well . in Guildford Surrey everyone wants a ulez car. EVERYONES blaming covid still. great content v informative
I'm not surprised by the Range Rover 'bargain' tbh... Trying to insure them at a reasonable cost is impossible in a lot of areas. The market will soon be flooded with 3-4 year old models as people exit the cheaper finance deals.
Also if it wasn't ulez compliant it removes some of the usual purchasers.
I bought a C Class Merc back in January for 12k. Getting valuations of barely 5k now. Was a daft idea to buy a diesel with all this ulez bollocks going on. Dropped like a stone in value 😢
Sorry to read this pal
Was it not a euro 6?
Enjoy your car and don't worry so much about resale value, life is to short to care for that, unless you are a car dealer. I've never cared of my car resale value when choosing it, just enjoyed the car.
people are scared of the range rovers at the moment because of insurance costs. a person l know was going to spend about sixty grand on a range rover and when he sat down to talk numbers the salesman said "have you done and insurance quote on this car and are you happy with it" because he lives near London the insurance market on Range Rovers has gone mad
They’re junk too. They are right
Computer aided Price. CAP
Good point about insurance
@@ShiftingMetal the salesman said he has done a lot of leg work putting deals together only to have them fall apart when they try to get insurance
More videos about the market prices values etc etc could listen to you talking about this for hours 🤏🤌👍
Here in Ireland, a New Range Rover Vogue can cost upwards of 230 grand. New Car prices have gone ridiculous in general. 170 grand for an M3, seriously. Crazy.
Wow! 😳
The Irish VRT is a killer on high Co2 cars, a friend brought a new G63 AMG earlier this year, it was a special order from Germany as it's not stocked by Mercedes Ireland because of the price, he paid 340k euro with options and VRT
This is what happens in a recession anyway - luxury cars fall off a cliff, and people want affordability. And this time we have the car price bubble to make the fall even bigger. Things can get really bad - after the supercar bubble in the late 80s, by the early 90s Jaguar couldnt give their XJ220 away and they sat gathering dust for years. From Wiki: A total of just 275 cars were produced by the time production ended, each with a retail price of £470,000 in 1992. The last of the unsold XJ220s were sold for £127,550 plus VAT in 1997. Could happen again...
Still seen a 2009 1.4 tsi volkswagen scirocco with 178k on the clock and a questionable hpi going for 4 grand tho. So I feel prices still have a little way to go. Like looking at this car I would probably pay £400 for it not £4000 😂
Ive been to Manheim and Aston Barclay Leeds and Aston Barclay Wakefield over last month.and at least half a dozen Range Rover sports.15/16 plates they either didn't sell or they barely made £12 grand and that.was between all 3 Auctions.
Hope all goes well for ya Joe, hate to see the smaller guys suffer.
Thanks, I'm sure we'll struggle on!
Interest rates have to play a part here. Given most cars are bought with some kind of finance, the monthlys will've shot up compared to 18 months ago.
I enjoyed this analytical video as a change to your more dynamic content. Thanks.
Glad you enjoyed it!
A bit like that other UA-camr the McMaster, he reckons he’s lost 70 grand in two years on his electric Porsche. Now that is scary depreciation 😮
As a classic car buyer iv'e noticed a shift there as well....The expensive and desirable stuff , P6's, Bentley's , Granadas are starting to fall as well , The stuff like Metro's , Fiesta's etc are rising slightly
That’s interesting to hear!
Metro's haven't been made for years!
Did any Metros survive ? 😂
@@zog97xy Read my post again...i'm on about Classic cars.....and yes plenty of metro's have survived
@ShiftingMetal remember the 600k rs500.??? One sold for 100k about a month ago on 22k. Off top of my head. Defo coming down
My wife's 2019 300 GLC tanked over the last three months. £34k down to £30k on motorway and 23K on WBAC. We ended up selling it on motorway for 30,400 to a company in Northern Ireland.
BCA are very clever prices ALWAYS drop November December and then auctions closed dealers need stock and get ramped up wanting to buy more and more and BCA restrict supply and prices really rise.
Spot on with that
They don't usually close for long though so they, I bet the only day they don't have online auctions this year will be Christmas day!
Brought my daughter a Range Rover sport 2015 70k miles really nice spec in white. £25k in June… bring on the depreciation lol… might get hit hard on this one..
This started in March, i sold my e class for 9250, lad offered it me back for 6.5k 2 weeks ago.. didn't want it back at that. Only 62k on clock with Panoramic roof..
seems about right, we bought a brand new car in 2022 with the intent of keeping if for 10 years rather than our usual 2 to 3 years lease or PCP deal
Very interesting. I've got an older luxury car that's crashing in value that I'm planning to change soon but if the replacement falls a similar percentage I'll end up quids in
All relative in that case hopefully :)
Brought a Audi Q7 while prices were stupidly high in October 2021 for £22,000. 2 years later WBAC are offering £8000, selling privately will struggle to get £10,000 if it eventually sold. Cost me a fortune to keep it on the road. Worst decision I ever made
Sorry to hear that. Why did it cost you a fortune to keep it on the road? Servicing cost?
@@silamarie4406 think I’ve had it flat bedded to my mates garage 5 times, within 1 month the belt at the front snapped which meant I lost power steering and cooling not a major fix but that was the start, since then it’s gone through 5 injectors which are £500 each, can’t count general wear items such as tyres and brakes but they are also not cheap. It my mate didn’t own a garage I’d be so much more out of pocket. It does 30mpg if you drive it very gently. Tax is ridiculous! All in all with the depreciation and breakdowns I’d say I’ve lost £18,000 in 2 years of ownership. I’ve always owned my cars either through savings or private loans but now I’m seriously considering PCP as I could have had a brand new car under warranty for 4 years than having the stress of waiting for the next problem/expense
@@silamarie4406 Also I believe the second hand market will get worse for ICE cars as battery technology improves and the 2035 ban looms closer. Prices for electric cars are getting more or less similar to petrol or diesel cars, while electric cars are cheaper to run and generally very reliable, electric cars won’t stay road tax free forever, the government pushing the green incentives won’t be upping tax on electric vehicles till last so the people only paying £15 or £30 a year Road tax for there efficient ICE car will see that increase, petrol/diesel prices are only going up. 10 years ago the Nissan leaf appeared with a range of 80 miles real world driving, now we have electric cars averaging 300 miles real world driving, I can only assume by 2035 they’ll be easily doing 500miles and charging quicker than they are now, the government would have made electric cars so appealing as they did when diesel cars arrived on the seen that you’d be mad to stick with your high taxed, expensive fuelled ice car. Sadly once enough people have adopted to the new order your intelligent home car charger or petrol station style charge point will tax you per mile to cover road tax and obviously the lost tax from petrol/diesel so people enjoying charging there electric cars for £0.075p per KWh will have that increase, even if your generating your own electric through solar you have to plug your car in to charge so you’ll be taxed accordingly for how many miles you’ve travelled. In my opinion you’d be mad to buy a new ICE car as the depreciation will be ridiculous and you’ll probably see second hand electric cars holding there price very nicely.
Cracking video Joe, like you say it will be interesting to see where the market is in 6 months time. I have just registered as a part time trader and off to Westbury auctions on Wednesday I won’t be buying anything for the sake of it, looking to retail desirable small hatches & family MPV stock between 4-6k.
Good luck, don’t get carried away!
Yep, I watched my local auction online and the prices were much lower on less desirable cars.
I think the used car market is in free fall. Most buyers feel they have been taken for a ride by the dealers on new car prices. With a high bank interest loans, it’s the consumer who sets the prices
PS. Thanks for the tip on the maserati. I'm just taking the grey stripe off now.
Glad to help 😅
A lot of people are skint .. trying to sell expensive motors ,to pay there mortgage …the market will become saturated,and prices will keep falling , maybe 😮
The oldest of will always hold, as you said. Watch the lumpy stuff get minced, just like the early 90's...🙂
I bought a 2013 Jaguar XF Sportbrake S in January from Jaguar Lincoln for £15,500. I've got it up for sale now as my wife wants something smaller and can't even get £12k for it
Sour subject. I have a 08 bmw m3 low mileage thing. I've had it nearly 2 years and not driven it. Kept getting value updates. Worth £25k 4 week ago. More like 23k now. That's a bad month 😅
Ouch
Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
you need to own that car and just enjoy it. one day it will throw a rod and it will be worth virtually nothing
Your right about the lower end holding or increasing in value. I've been looking for 2015 diesel ulez compliant cars but no joy.
Me and my dad went to an action the other day and the smaller first cars where going for crazy prices and the big family cars where going for little
The prices for new cars are crazy & lease and pcp deals match it. More folk having to pay that extra couple of hundred to their mortgage as opposed to a new car. Be interesting to see how it goes but the used car market under 8k is always strong anyway
My neighbours lease on his Range Rover is up beginning of next year, he’s now buying outright a used Golf. Some difference
All fur coat and no nickers.
Bought a 19 plate BMW 320d touring at 18 months old from AC, ran it for 12 months and solid it back to AC at the height of the Used car increases…made £6500 profit. Been running an old Volvo V70 the last 2 years (57 plate) until the prices and interest rates drop to a sensible level….
Car insurance is going through the roof too. Is this causing people to shift to a cheaper car that might be cheaper to insure?
The likes of Mercedes for example charging almost €200 per hour for labour where an indy is charging maybe €50 to do the same work is one reason
It’s going back to when a car dealer as got to know how much a car is worth in his head, not being told what it’s worth by a computer
20% north since early 2020. 3.75 years later not depreciated 10-15% per year or about 50% but up 20%. Oct was a harsh month. Down 4.2%
I am actually waiting on Maserati Ghiblis coming down a little more. Been following their pricing for a few months. Few months ago you'd only be able to get a diesel for 13,000 but not you're getting the petrols down to that level too! Buyers market is coming.
Just subscribed. This video content is great. Chiming with my current thinking (and hopes).
Welcome aboard!
Alot of dealers with expensive stocking loans and depreciating forecourt
My Range Rover Sport L494 V8 Diesel is not moving at all and can see I'll have to take a loss to get rid of it. Great car but insurance/fuel etc is adding up
Used car prices rising in Canada but everything is as the Canadian dollar sinks from interest rates that are too low.
Used car markets went so high, I had a 2020 hyundai i30n hot hatch, and in December 2021 I was looking to change cause wife was complaining about the ride, when I part exchanged for a 41k car they gave me what was left on the finance and £1000 extra to put on next car, usually you lose money if you change your car before the 3 year point, now I've checked what we buy any car would take for my car now, 21k, so I would essentially lose 20k in 2 years of ownership, absolute craziness, will be keeping for a while lol.
Great insight into the car market… thanks 🙏👍
Glad you liked it!
I was watching the Fleet sales the other day and everything was anywhere between 600 and 2200 under cap except an octavia vrs that was 700 into cc . I think its safe to say the newer end of the markets bubble is bursting and I think there will be some big name casualtys in the next 2 yrs .
I emailed my account. Manager of AT immediately. To be fair been asked feedback AT more than normal. So sent them war and peace only last night about just this. Terribly lagging retail back figures. In trade AT last 5 odd years can set your watch off AT retail !!! Until last 6-8 weeks been way off. Been hard work ‘shifting metal’ up in leafy leafy Cheshire. Great pics. Prep and keep prices ain’t got lazy bums off seats to come and even view let alone pay.
Strange times indeed!
@@ShiftingMetal trippy. Like having drugs. Without them. Jan will be interesting. Never never never NOT gone batshit bonkers and sales start Boxing Day.

Joe. If you want to buy any thing in Ireland. I’m driver for hire. Inspection & collection, delivery.
Great information. Thanks.
Insurance is killing the market. RR's uninsurable now. Theft of top-end cars is rampant.
I’m not sure if you’re aware of “Car uk” here on UA-cam? He is one I regularly watch. He spends time at car auctions and documents his experiences there.
He’s recently shown the market change and it’s stark in its current trend..
I am aware. I imagine he’s finding it tough to get decent stock in his market at the moment 😖
@@ShiftingMetal I feel he is finding it difficult.
He had maximum prices on cars he wanted to buy. But he found that those vehicles were purchased at much higher prices.
So didn’t buy that cars he wanted.
But I haven’t watched all of his videos yet.
I also enjoy your videos. Very interesting & helpful on values 👍
The Range Rover example is especially weak due to c, 90 a day being stolen. mainly in London, the South and Northern Cities. Insurance has jumped up by around £2000 to £3000 above normal levels as a result. Any pre 2016 Diesel will not meet ULEZ /Clean Air Euro 6. So a double whammy. The petrol RR you mentioned will however meet ULEZ. but with high fuel prices will be costly to run..
It was only a matter of time. Insurance costs of risen, people can’t afford new or used cars. Simply repair rather than replace. Do. It by a car unless it’s a necessity these prices are crazy 😡😡😡😡
Car is worth what someone is willing to pay for it!
No, what they can borrow for it. Plebs.
Lol, car prices never make any sense. Want a 1980s Escort, an antique? £20K mate. Want a modern specced up low milage Range Rover? £20K mate. Want a brand new little modern runaround, a hatch like a i10 reasonably specced? A shopping trolley, you know....£17K mate. Wait, what???
Ford Fiesta brand new is almost £20K, madness.
Range Rover has one service stamp at 54k which isn’t ideal neither is buying from we buy any car
Thanks, very informative👍
Good evening, I have a 70 plate Peugeot 3008 1.2 petrol allure, just under 30k mileage hood condition but a cat S, may I ask what would you think is the best way to sell it ? Thank you
Have a nice week
Cost of living issues probably forcing people to get rid of their higher end car but they will be taking quite a hit. I check the value of my Audi every month and it was stable until 3 months ago and it dropped by £1k a month.
Very accurate assessment of the situation Id say. Dealers want to have my cheapy stock not the premium stuff they wanted before
Auto trader is full of approx 60k mile range rovers on a 15 plate for around 25k….they aren’t going quick.
With that farm area of yours it might pay to be the "Reasonable offers on all Trade-ins considered" Dealer, in your area. Like Geoff Moore did in Irthlingborough years ago.! There's always a punter out there that doesn't mind a few dents that need sorting .
He'd say. "I've got just the motor for you", I would plead poverty, then he "Take it anyway, and pay me when you sell it". Often, he would buy a car back after it was sorted. He once asked if I had a 40 gallon barrel of Alice Blue, as they always seemed to be that colour when they went back.!
He must have made a few clams in his time, as they reckoned his house resembled the Taj Mahal, never saw it myself, but my uncle knew him well. Those were the days, long gone now. I would have loved to aquainted him with your "Moon Mileage" Gem !
Youd need that margin on the range rover to cover against the repairs and now with the amount being stolen you cant get them insured in London, Manchester and liverpool !
Small Autos are ridiculously overpriced atm.
I'm in a mazda cx5 group, guy bought a new 2.2d at 35k in 2021, the best he's been offered £17k.😮
Looking for a Jaguar xj r sport. 66 plates are around £21k yet WBAC £13k , either dealers are having a laugh or WBAC are? Any advice , get one before Xmas ?
Found interesting as I believe America s car market is goin thru the same sort of thing but second hand car market only went up I thought due to lack of supply with new cars and parts as China as been basically locked down really for longer and now only just got its economy goin so I suppose the second hand cars were goin to take a nose dive hopefully it won't affect you to much
Take care Joe , good luck
Thank you ULEZ, CAZ etc?
I purchased a seat mii two years ago. It's still worth similar money.
There's an issue with the engine as shown on the BCA assured report. The car wasn't sold at the end, it's back on the listing.
Always issue buying wbac
I have my vehicle up for sale both on classified and auction website? No calls on classified and no bids auction? I guess I am in parallel universe ☹️ it’s like when I speak to another trader and he says oh I am rushed of my feet and I see his van parked outside his house not moving day in day out?
It always amazes me how everyone elasticated the truth?
I've done this job professionally for nearly 40 yrs, these past few years since Brexit. the Pandemic, and the war in Ukraine have been the most unstable and hardest to read, without a doubt, but I've never gone with AT values, or their data, I go by the real world, Ive always looked at the cheapest ( like for like ) and tried to be in that area, not what AT say, always worked for me.
What would you suggest for consumers who are coming to the end of their premium cars PCP and want to switch... PX price is low and private buyers when over 30k are hard to find.
Hang it out into the new year and see or just call it quits and take the offer?
At the end of a PCP you can just hand the car back or dispose of it if you get an offer that exceeds the final payment.
It's no wonder Constellation have lost money, Joe public is not allowed into their auction houses. What are your thoughts on the Velar? I'm looking at PX my RLine 17 plate Tiguan
Brill vid pal !
You can’t insure range rovers at any reasonable cost now, so who wants a cheap car that will cost a prohibitive amount to insure, if you can insure it at all ! JLR need to make their cars more difficult to steal !
I'm looking at an Audi A5 2door S Line with the 40TFSI 204 BHP engine on 21/22 plate. The prices are softening but need another £3-4K off the current cost (around £27-28K in early November) for the mileage I will buy. Are my expectations realistic if I want to buy in January/February?? Any pointers welcome if anyone has better knowledge than I have and particularly Audi A5's.
