Plate change

As we entered the plate change month, it has been encouraging to see dealers sharing stories and images of their first ’71 plate’ vehicles sold. Consumer confidence is returning, and it will be interesting to see what September has in store over the coming weeks.

Used car prices

Used car prices remain at incredibly high levels as consumer demand for second-hand and nearly new cars continues to be buoyant and supply constraints affect new car sales. Please find further details below.
