Wowsers!

The dealers are still holding fast on the prices though at the moment I think :roll:

Trouble is in a few months the knock on effect to used values will be terrible.

Presumably because they've slowed production, not because they're shifting any.

I seem to remember all sorts of problems with stockpiled cars, like major rust problems because they stood in puddles for 6 months before someone finally bought them.

The trouble is they can't sell them even for dirt cheap prices as their only customers are the dealers, and the dealers have their forecourts full of cars they paid 'normal' price for, so can't afford to sell for less than normal...

Now would be the perfect time to open a new car supermarket. Buy 100s of cars for pennies from the manufacturers and seriously undercut the franchised dealers!
