will used car prices drop when new ones launch in March

eg, we're looking to buy a Vauxhall Zafira 08 plate at around 10k to 11k.

once the new numberplates/new cars come out next month is the price of the same car likely to be much lower???

i.e. althought the car itself is only 1 month older the plate is percieved to be a year older.

????????????

    Only 6 months nowdays.

    Although it should depreciate normally by a certain percentage everymonth and the reg change might have a small impact. Secondhand car prices are "supposedly" rising.

    If you see a deal that suits then buy if not in a rush then you can hope.

    The fkip side is any trade in could alo be depreciating too.
