Where has the price increase come from?
This price increase is a direct consequence of the persisting second hand car supply problems. They are down 11% in March year-on-year. Also, there is the increase in consumer demand, which is up 12% year-on-year. Auto Trader said that there have been almost 238 million cross platform visits to its marketplace in three months. What this equates to is 31 visits each second by UK consumers. The situation creates lots of opportunities for a car broker.
Although, the used car advertising establishment said that by pricing their stock underneath true market value, they missed £25.5m of profit in total. This equals £3,300 on average per forecourt within the UK.
Auto Trader’s director of data and insight also made a statement. He said that considering the stream of negative headlines, for a lot of people, 2023’s outlook didn’t look so great. However, against a backdrop of economic and political uncertainty, used car costs and the market more broadly has gotten stronger in Q1. It is extremely encouraging to begin the year like this and such strong market signs add to a more positive outlook for what lies ahead. Whereas other sections of the economy are subdued, the car industry is showing its resilience again.
