Declining Values of Older Used Cars May Indicate a Looming Market Dip

March 29, 20231 min read

Introduction:

A recent article from am-online.com discusses the potential downturn in the used car market after March saw an increase in average vehicle prices.

The decline in the value of older and more affordable used cars could be an indicator of this impending dip, according to Cap HPI.

Cap HPI, reported a 0.5% decline in the average value of used cars at their three-year, 60,000-mile benchmark at the end of a trading period that had surpassed expectations for many dealers.

The firm predicts that the Easter holiday period and cost-of-living pressures could soften the upward trajectory of used car values.

Notably, older used cars have already experienced a slight decline in value, which can often foreshadow trends in the rest of the market.

Additionally, the report highlights the continuous decline in used electric vehicle (EV) values for the seventh consecutive month, with a 5.4% decrease at the three-year mark.

However, the demand for used petrol and diesel cars still outpaces that of their EV counterparts.

Our Guarantee

I am 100% completely confident in the results that AutoEngage will produce for any dealer, so much so that I will always happily prove them up front!

Everything we do, brings a near instant ROI, in most cases our motor trade partners earn before they even pay us anything...

Heard it all before?!

How do you know it will be different this time?

Listen I understand what it is like to run a dealership as i've run my own, I've been exactly where you are now. Whilst running my own dealerships I spent £Hundreds of thousands of my own money on advertising and marketing to try and help sell more cars.

Most was good, but there was a lot that was really bad! I bought plenty of stuff that looked great on paper, but left me with nothing apart from a lighter bank balance.

Thats why when I started AutoEngage my #1 priority was to provide a near instant return on investment. I am pleased to say that I have definitely achieved that and always happy to prove it!

The motor trade is a small world that unless you have worked within it, you will never truly understand it. I have used my 29 years of motor trade experience of working in & owning my own car dealerships and put it into AutoEngage.

Quite simply AutoEngage will easily & cost effectively help you sell more cars every month, even in December! By booking sales appointments with your previous customers, generating 5⭐️ google reviews and helping you manage all of your incoming leads turning them into customers.

However I don't expect you to take us at face value and that is why I am always happy to put my money where my mouth is and show you results up front!
