THE upcoming March plate change is good news for the used car market – that’s the belief of vehicle auction house BCA.
It’s news that dealers will want to hear as a shortage of quality, used cars has been affecting the market for the past few months.
‘New car sales for the March plate change may not be as busy as previous years, but there will still be plenty of ‘pull-through’ of part-exchanged motors for the used car market,’ explains Tim Naylor, of BCA. ‘At this time of year we have surge of fresh stock at our auctions across the UK, which means an even better range of good quality used vehicles at great prices.
‘In particular, we will be getting a lot of well-maintained used cars in from fleets and leasing companies who buy new in March.’
