Land Rover's Discovery Sport Tops Profit Chart for UK Used Car Dealers in May 2023

June 16, 20231 min read


Land Rover's Discovery Sport emerged as the most profitable used car for dealers in May 2023, with an average retail margin of £4,150, according to data from Dealer Auction.

The Mazda CX-5, on the other hand, was the quickest-selling used car, with an average selling time of 23 days.



Dealer Auction has introduced two new metrics, 'Average Auto Trader days to sell' and 'Average Auto Trader Retail Rating,' to provide dealers with more insights into the profitability of their stock.

Although the Discovery Sport topped the profit chart, the new metrics revealed that lower-ranked models, like the Mazda CX-5, could be more suitable stock due to their faster selling time and higher retail rating.

Dealer Auction emphasised the importance of a balanced stock mix that includes both quick-selling options and higher-profit opportunities.

Land Rover, BMW, and Mercedes-Benz emerged as the top three brands with the highest average retail margins. The inclusion of these new metrics offers dealers a valuable layer of intelligence to optimize profit potential by identifying stock with the best individual return and faster turnover.

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!
