Now is the time to invest…
During April, used car values actually lowered – 7% below March’s average monthly value, but still more than 15% higher YOY. So, right now is the time to buy such valuable stock and take advantage of this time of year, when new models are introduced.
Going forward, well-maintained used cars are predicted to uphold their value and despite the recent cuts in fuel prices, the cost of running certain vehicles is still too high. The trend to buy low-mileage motors will no doubt continue and the availability of such motors will continue to decline as result.
So the key message here is invest while the values have dipped, protect your stock with the best motor trade insurance possible and look to sell your prized units for the ecological value they’re worth.
