The Car Dealer Briefing from James Baggott summarises the week’s most important motor trade headlines for you all in one place.
In the Car Dealer Weekly Briefing, his subscriber-only newsletter, he hears from colleague Jon Reay about the launch of yet another Chinese car firm – this time it’s Chery’s turn.
The web giant has been dabbling with cars for nearly a decade and now he asks: Could this be the time it finally gets it right?
Elsewhere, there’s been news the Electric Car Grant could only have six cars available for the full rate and four of them aren’t even launched yet – was this the plan all along? Plus, there’s that JLR hack, some deals and results to pour over.
Also featured in this week’s briefing are:
- Big Motoring World
- Brayleys & Johnsons
- GVE London administration
- BYD’s car launches
- Vertu update
- Holdcroft results
- Endeavour results
- Used car prices
- New car registrations for August
- Revolving doors at Hendy
