Dealers saw a 16.5% jump in used sales during August as the boom in the used sector continued
A study carried out by lead generation firm enquiryMAX of data from over 700 dealers compared figures against August 2017 and showed a positive month for retailers.
David Boyce managing director of enquiryMAX said: “A strong August for dealers reflects the growth of used car sales that we’ve seen throughout the year.
“It’s clear the impact of WLTP pulled new registrations forward and consumers benefited from some great value vehicles and finance offers.”
“The data also showed the average sale price of a used car dropped from £22,009 in 2017 to £20,323 in 2018. The average value of a part exchange vehicle decreased from £8,295 to £8,163.
