It is interesting re demand. There was a program a the box two days ago about the new freedoms regarding the release of pension money. One interviewee said he had always wanted a Morgan. That is all very well but looking at the adverisements in the back of Miscellany over the past year I was surprised how few cars there are for sale. This indicates to me that owners hang on to their cars.
Interesting
Perhaps as pension pots have been hit recently then second hand prices will actually rise not decrease for two reasons
Lack of second hand stock
Second hand prices still cheaper than buying new
It's my view that the new prices for the trad cars are too cheap - now The factory is supplying exclusively through the dealer network, I would put up new prices, splitting the extra profit between the factory and dealers so that everyone can fund a great service to customers
I know this strategy flies in the face of logic if the order book is declining but with niche market and luxury items - higher prices can create greater demand
