A week of chaos in the car finance industry, the return of the 2030 ban and two major dealer groups finally releasing their results are summarised in this week’s Substack newsletter.

The Car Dealer Weekly Briefing – the subscriber-only newsletter – attempts to summarise this week’s major headlines for time poor executives.

In his Substack, James Baggott looks at the car finance Court of Appeal ruling that nearly brought the industry to a grinding halt and how car dealers can stay compliant considering the judges’ comments.


Also featured is a round-up of the delayed accounts from car dealer giants Sytner and Lookers – with one far more worrying than the other. 

The weekly newsletter is published every Friday to subscribers and delivered directly to your email inbox. You can also read it on the Substack app.
