Richard Walker, Auto Trader’s data and insights director, said: “As we enter the second half of the year, our data shows that the fundamentals of the used car market remain solid – consumer demand is robust, and cars are selling at pace, which combined with the softening in supply, means retail prices continue to stabilise.
“Although this balance of market dynamics is working to return retail prices to seasonal norms, it’s also affecting retailers’ traditional stock profiles and making the job of finding profitable cars all the more challenging.”
