You used to be able to buy a decent runner with a new MOT for £500 a couple of years back. Now you need to spend £1500-2000 to get the same.The prices of new cars going up has also brought up the prices of used ones.

I bought my last and final car because I'm an old fart who is now 64 ... bought new via carwow with a massive discount (thanks carwow) .. The market is bonkers / upside down .. I've lost very little in depreciation despite my car now being 4 1/2 yrs old BUT the cost to change is massive due to the massive increase in price of new cars years ago .. new cars lost a fortune as soon as you drove them off the forecourt .. add EVs .. into the mix .. seems the best thing to do is stick with what you have as long as its reliable irrespective of your position in the market place

labours upcoming budget has killed all big ticket sales for now. Some people may be holding on to existing cars waiting for EV prices to drop a bit more, or scared of committing to a newer ICE car which may devalue rapidly if more restrictions like ULEZ ,many cities are considering emission zones. These days some older cars can easily last 15 years, and with a bit of help 20 years, and they do not have all the modules and electronics to contend with. I have a 12 year old Fiesta, it will easily make 20 years.

I recommended a brand new Rio 1.1 diesel to my ex back in 2013, she traded a bright yellow Corsa in for it. The economy and 7 year warranty appealed to her and I hear it's still going strong, sold to a friend who's never had any issues with it. I sorted all kinds of things out for her, rebuilt her lawn mower engine, fixed her crappie broadband wiring, various things, I was even kind to her cat and I hate cats but she suddenly blew me out, saying she thought she fancied me more than I fancied her and wasn't happy about it. I tried to take it as a compliment and move on but I liked driving that car and I did fancy her, I just didn't show it. I never thought in a million years the car would outlast her, but it did, poor lass died of cancer a few years ago. 😢

I understand it's pretty quiet everywhere. This time of year usually is - people aren't really interested in hanging around rainy, cold used car lots and are saving for Christmas. But right now there is also a lot of uncertainty and caution about. Not just in cars but just generally. People aren't buying used cars because they want something different - they're buying them because their last one failed it's MOT or died or something along those lines. One thing I have noticed is that prices are getting sensible now. The crazy jacked-up prices of cars post-COVID are largely a thing of the past although there are some oddities - you don't get the catastrophic 1st year depreciation of French and Italian stuff like you used to.

Too be honest used car prices are stupid. 100k milage car for more than £500. I dont think so. At one time 10 years/100k cars were at end of life. If i bought a ysed car it have to be well below the 100k milage mark. My 04 fusion with 45000 was £800 a couple of years ago. That was about £300 too much. Ive never paid so much for a used car. Its crazy

Best not to over-think things at the moment. Most of the comments on here ring true if you’re selling cars or cakes!. I think a level of subconscious hysteria sets in & the market self levels later when everyone calms down a bit. The Maserati is cool, look forward to seeing that soon.

It’s a combination of things I suppose. Chip shortage for new cars, more people buying used, demand outstripping supply of used cars so prices have shot up. People are skint, it’s coming up to Christmas, they’re waiting for the budget to see if Labour will increase fuel duty. Right now on Autotrader, there are 460,490 cars for sale in the UK. 59,921 private seller and 400,569 trade. Of them, if you put FSH in the keyword search, there’s only 18,986. Then FMDSH there’s only 195. Out half a million.

Our local franchised Ford dealer closed its doors this week, giving the staff no prior notice😮. Im assuming due to the volatility of the market, but their standards of service were far from good

Says something about the market now when Ford dealers closing down, used to be a franchise for printing money. Saying that the models sold now are no longer as appealing as they used to be with just suv cars, no fiesta etc.

Why anyone would buy a Ford Fiesta after the Ecoboost disasters I will never know. You can get 13 plate Ford Fiestas and Focuses with those engines on autotrader for £2000 with less than 100k miles, they're still running and road legal and everything people are just clued on to the fact they're worthless cars.

Same nationwide dude things are slow and the auctions prices are insane and their fees ever increasing. Too little stock and too many buyers the arrival of our dingy friends daily are also their bidding and buying its a joke! Then you get jo public think a £1000 buys them a 2024 Nissan GT-R. Or always want to offer you £3000 for a £5000 car...

A commenter said that a Morris Minor cost £600 in 1959. At that time a pint of beer cost one shilling. Today a pint will cost at least £4. So, £600 x 20 = 12000 pints. .....12,000 pints at £4 = £48,000. The new Morris Minor will pŕobably cost much more than that. ,! Assuming any get made, as yet, apparently they are only pictures being shown. But I dare say there will be a substantial demand, as it is an excellent shaped vehicle. !

Links attached, one is for the aygo the other is for 107 and C1, the pads on the aygo for the lights are different to the c1 and 107 but the upper brake light one are both the same in the kit. Also sometimes they can leak from the vents behind the bumper and get into the centre of the boot, remove the bumper and reseal up the vents in situ and refit if your still getting water in after the pads are fitted
