Disruption in supply chains and factory closures must have reduced supply as I well I’d have thought, and certainly hire car fleets will be much much smaller than they would have been a couple of years ago. But, there still seem to be plenty of 20 and 70 plate cars about down here so who knows. As with many things, the impact of CoVID will continue to disproportionately affect the less well off, and I wonder whether they’d have been buying new cars anyway?
Though if any one is in the market, ‘my’ local MINI dealer has offered over £4K off a new Clubman...but given they now list at £36k a cost to change of well into 5 figures to end up with pretty much the same car, but with 15,000 miles fewer on the clock, didn’t strike me as a great deal ;)
