Possible bargains? The market is awash with bargains right now, especially if you're after a larger car. They might get a bit cheaper but, I suspect, when the glut of cheap new cars is cleared out prices could start to recover slightly.

I think that will take some time to be honest...have you seen the docks where they keep new cars!! makes the M25 on a friday look like a village post office car park

ive seen prices come down a bit, it might be worth waiting longer to get more for your money?

When i bought my new motor in Oct last year the show rooms were RAMMED and people were signing to buy (as did I).. the day i picked it up I had to wait whilst others collected their car.. (was at a car 'supermarket')

Fast forward to this week when me and the missus went "window shopping" to choose the new company motor, and sure enough, the show rooms were RAMMED again... We walked out of Audi as the wait to speak to someone was too long! BMW & VW were v busy too..

Is there anyone in the trade who is prepared to share sales stats??

Quentin Wilson did a programme on the state of the used car market, last Monday.
You can watch it on ITV Catch Up.

"Tonight

With the automotive industry in crisis and car prices plummeting, is this the time to pick up a bargain? Quentin Willson presents a guide to getting the most for your money."

I don't know if that's a real indication. Google Earth is ususally 3 or 4 years out of date, and if you look at the docks at Sheerness in Kent, it looked the same then as it does now.

I am assured by the guy that looks after my car that prices for secondhand, SMALL economical cars have risen substantially :eek: but cars over about 1500cc - still bargains to be had!:T

last april i was desprate to get a small car and it took weeks to find the right car. Now I am looking for a 7 seater and the zafiras are the same price as an 807!

I was thinking if all the manufacturing goes titts up will we end up with no new cars and all cars costing a packet to buy? Old and new.
