MANHEIM Auctions Bristol recorded a 100 per cent conversion rate at a recent Jaguar used car sale.
Two thirds of Jaguar’s nationwide dealer network took part in the auction, to raise a total of £2 million for the 111-car sale.
50 Jaguar dealers physically attended the closed sale, with another 15 bidding online. Which pleased Jaguar no end.
Paul Stauvers, Jaguar national used car sales manager, said: ‘Jaguar is very happy with this latest auction result, and particularly with the support from the dealer network in terms of attendance.
‘January is usually a strong month for Jaguar used car sales, but to achieve a 100 per cent sale with strong prices was certainly very encouraging.
‘The desire from our dealer network for Jaguar used stock only goes to prove that dealers recognise the need to build their used car operations, even during these difficult trading conditions.’
The sale of Jaguar cars raised an average of 108 per cent of CAP Clean.
