Year-to-date activity

[Philip Nothard 26]

With footfall reported to be 11% up at the same point 2013, and the diverse weather showing no signs of easing quickly – how is the month developing?

 

Excluding the inevitable slowing of the 4X4’s and the slow rise in the Convertibles/Coupe Cabs – is the stock becoming increasing tougher to find or is the issue more relative to quality?

 

With the trade values in mind, how is this relative to the potential margins the retail opportunities are offering, as quality 3-year-old  vehicles compete on price against ‘aged’ pre-registered vehicles that need to be cleared before the conversation commences in March?
