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. Meganes are getting cheaper across the board and older cars are really sticking unless cheap. High spec 2.0 Dci‘s are a decent … Continue reading →

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 July/Aug’ I To L

Market view by brand I through L.   July/August 2011 Jaguar: There are very few petrol X-Types about which is a good thing because only a megaspec   fresh car has serious retail potential. Like their Donor car the Mondeo, used  X-type Diesels are plentiful and while they have levelled off in the last six months they are still a good seller. Even intergalactic mileage cars in good nick are selling well. A 2.2 Auto is still a sought after bit of stock for garages. The older estates are getting harder to move and buyers are avoiding them unless cheap. The … Continue reading →

Irish Car Auctions Snapshot

We took a trip over to Dublin last week to have an eyeball at the Irish auction scene. Recent conversations with Irish car dealers has revealed a tale of woe, with some of the oldest established dealerships in the country going under in the recession. And yet despite this gloom there is still a steady stream of cars being exported over from England. The trade is basically very healthy if you have the right, Low emmissions under 3 year old stock.If however you are stuck with mileagy petrol cars with dodgy emmissions then the running costs are crippling, as … Continue reading →

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. Supermarkets and dealers will be pushing deals to move a lot of stock over the summer. If you are buying then Solid colours are best. Grande Punto: Our hire car of choice is really heading for the bargain bin over 4 years of age. Fresher cars are still saleable with lower miles. … Continue reading →
