UK Market View Jul/Aug’ Q to T

Market view by brand Q through U.   July/August 2011 Renault: The Twingo is a good little seller in the Renault sport versions. Both the 133 and 133 Cup version hold on to their value nicely. In the new shape clio, the 1.5 Dci continues to sell well. The 1.6 petrol is only wanted in Initiale Spec. Renault sport versions are always good news with the 200 and the Lux models, both particularly sought after in strong colours.

UK Market View June/July 2011 E to H.

Market view by brand E through H.  June/July 2011 Fiat: The Little 500 has been a supreme performer since launch, and while they are not about to plummet all those cheap monthly lease specials are dripping back into the market providing a lot of options for buyer.
