Useful to know. Obviously I'm not in the market for a new car, so not aware of the discounts. I've been keeping an eye on asking prices for similar cars to my wife's C200, plus doing occasional WBAC quotes for it, as we were thinking of selling it and downsizing.haha - the head office is there and as such have a classroom set up. We just have a tiny office in UK just to have a registered address more than anything.
I either have to drive 4hrs to Brum, 4+hrs to Heathrow and then park or get a flight from Exeter or Bristol and go via Dublin. This can take up to 12hrs depending on the connection flight times and then when I get to Brussels I have to get to Antwerp. Bit of a dilemma, especially as I used to live 30min from BHX
Re car prices - I see them starting to tumble now.
I am looking for a nearly new EV and a Tesla Model 3 LR has dropped around £6k in as many weeks.
Seeing similar with the likes of BMW and VW.
New cars are also attracting discounts of up to 12.5% too through brokers which was zero just a few months ago.
Still a long was to go but at least its in the right direction. I am hoping by Jan there is some more drops in values to be had but I think we may have reached the biggest drop at the min. I think the "cheaper" cars won't be affected so much as everyone is terminating their PCP's and getting what they can afford......ie the £6-15k market, so I imagine this will hold fairly strong.
As soon as you start needing finance, this is where the market will plummet as 8%+ APR on a £40k car is not going to be attractive to many people.
