Used car market 'stabilises'
Oct 22 2008The market for used cars appeared to stabilise in September, a new report has suggested.
People conducting a Used Car Search may have found that average monthly used car values rose by one per cent last month, British Car Auctions (BCA) stated.
According to the firm, used car values reached an average of £4,812, compared with £4,765 during the previous month.
BCA said that the figures suggested that prices had "crept up", which may come as "some relief" for used car vendors.
"While it would be foolhardy to suggest this heralds a recovery for used market prices, it was a welcome change from price performance [in] recent months," it added.
BCA hosts more than 100 auctions every week at its numerous auction houses across the UK.
As well as used cars, buyers can pick up vans, caravans and motorhomes, heavy commercial vehicles and motorcycles at the firm's auctions.
