Buying Cars

Second Hand Cars Are On The Up

Due to the credit crunch and resulting recession, used car prices have actually increased over the last year. It would be hard to see why the price of anything should increase when financial concerns are troubling a large number of consumers. This is where the second hand car market is different. The new car market has plummeted: this is why we have initiatives such as the scrappage scheme, basically a way of stimulating the new car market when you sell your car to it.

The second hand car market clearly does not need this help. The reason for this is that there will always be a demand for reasonably-priced cars as public transport in Britain is expensive and often inadequate due to underinvestment. Financial concerns mean that motorists are now more likely to buy a cheaper used car than an expensive new one. This means that there is greater demand for used cars than new cars. If a potential seller of a second hand car can charge £500 more for their car then they will.
