There’s still strong demand for new cars from consumers, TLA director Mathilda Bosch told the new episode of the Car Dealer Podcast.
The company work to match consumers with dealers and Bosch explained how the current shortage was making their jobs harder but the team were working smarter to get the best deals to showrooms.
Bosch explained: ‘September is generally the second biggest month after March, so the big question mark at the moment is around the shortages of supply. Because we only work with the new car market, we are trying to understand the situation so we can best support clients and consumers.
‘It’s a busy time but hopefully September will be better. August was already better than July, which was a very low month in terms of registration.’
‘What is a bit frustrating when you’re in the new car market is there is tremendous demand on the car buyer side but there’s a lot of frustration on the supply side of things. So you’re in a very healthy demand market but a very stressed supply market.’
