VED rates in Black Book

Car Dealer Magazine by Car Dealer Magazine

VED rates are likely to become as influential on consumer used car choice as fuel economy and insurance costs.

 

That’s the view of experts at CAP as the company announces publication of CO2 figures and related car tax bands in the industry benchmark Black Book guide to current used car values. The May edition will see Black Book become the first trade values guide in the UK market to incorporate this vital information.

 

CAP’s decision to publish CO2 figures and tax band details was prompted by the potential impact on many used car values caused by proposed vehicle excise duty rates to be introduced next year.


 

CAP believes consumer awareness of the mounting cost of VED will lead to many older cars losing value more rapidly as buyers take into account the cost of taxing the vehicle. And the threat is not limited to large engine vehicles. Even some relatively modest 1.6 engine cars will be significantly affected.

 

Experts at CAP are urging used car professionals to now begin taking account of CO2 figures when acquiring trade stock, to avoid the risk of more rapidly depreciating or even unwanted vehicles on the forecourt.

 

Mark Norman, Operational Development Manager, said: ‘We have now introduced CO2 figures into Black Book because we believe that VED rates will become as influential on consumer choice as fuel economy and insurance costs.

 

‘Traders and dealers should get into the habit now of taking into account the likely VED bands of cars they acquire because the new rules will apply to all cars registered from March 2001. Depending on the speed of growing consumer awareness, this means that there is already an increased risk that many older, low-value cars will become less desirable to customers.


 

‘This risk will increase dramatically when the new VED rates are introduced in 2009. It is therefore important to begin routinely including tax bands in the trade valuation process today to become fully prepared for the new market conditions for older cars next year.’
