Second hand market is silly at the moment. WAAAAY over priced on everything for general junk!
Next door is a prestige 2nd had car seller and THEY'VE been having real trouble getting decent stock.
Lack of new cars because chip and material shortages means more people looking at the second hand market
All those lease cars that did little over the lockdown and contracts got rolled over means the 3yr old rep cars arn't hitting the market either also driving up prices.
Any ol' banger that looks half way reasonable is now the new minimum and newer vehicles are 25-50% more than they were a year ago and scams are all over the place.
Sellers market and i really just wouldn't bother unless you absolutely have to and are willing to pay over the odds.
Also given petrol prices and the slow shift of the market, I'd be looking at electric if you can, And yeah that basically means a Tesla!....as i can see a huge drop in fossil fuel vehicle residuals coming.
