Auto Retail Live

September’s new car plate-change month is now out of the way, so attention inevitably turns to the used car market. Despite a relatively strong month for new, used car volumes for franchised retailers are essentially governed by how the market performed two-four years ago. With the market missing more than 1.5 million cars during the pandemic, this is still having a significant impact on stock sourcing and pricing. Used car buyers are traditionally on a tighter budget than new car customers and they’re also more traditional in their fuel choice. The result is a distortion. Electric car prices may be weak, but the majority of the market is still running petrol and diesel vehicles where pricing is strong. In this webinar our panel will discuss what this means for retailers and how profitability can be maintained through the very real disruption. Examining all these topics in our next Auto Retail Live Business Briefing, will be Perrys’ Darren Ardron, Swansway’s Peter Smyth, and Motors’ Phill Jones. Led by Auto
