UK Market view Jul/Aug’ M To P

Market view by brand M through P.   July/August 2011 Mazda: Anyone who’s driven the Mazda 2 1.4 Diesel will know they are painfully slow. They are also slow to sell, with the 1.6 Diesel Sport being the only consistently good seller. In the 3 model range, The 1.6 D is a steady seller with the Takara spec being popular. Bigger engine cars Like the MPS have actually strengthened in value as they have gotten older. The Mazda 5 suffers badly from depreciation in its maiden year, after that they are a steady if not spectacular performer. Diesels are saleable … Continue reading →

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.

Market view by brand A through D.  June/July 2011   ALFA ROMEO: Fear of running costs is not helping Alfas at the moment and once they go over 3 years or start approaching above average miles they are becoming a less viable retail proposition for dealers. The GT Coupe Blackline with the 1.9 JTD diesel unit is sought after. The Mito has been well received and is holding up well, Like the fiat 500 it is selling best in solid colours red,Black and White. Too early to pass comment on the Giulietta with most cars remaining  within the dealer … Continue reading →

Mid Year U.K Market Report.

Mid year used car Market report June/July 2011’ The Used car Market had remained strong all year, to the point where we were starting to think they must be making up this whole recession because we can’t buy cars.  And then around the start of May the market started to behave like we were assured it would, and prices began to drop. For a few weeks sellers held off in the hope that it was a glitch and that prices were about to come back. It was no glitch, it was a market correction and now cars are selling … Continue reading →
