Used car prices hit another all-time high

It’s a seller’s market: Used car prices hit another all-time high Selling your car could be an easy way to make a quick buck during the coronavirus recession. Research by Moody’s Analytics and Datium Insights shows used vehicle prices rose for the fifth straight month in September to hit another all-time high. Average prices jumped 3.8 per cent over the month as persistent weakness in the new vehicles market and aversion to public transport left too many buyers chasing too few cars. A 2006 Nissan Patrol ST, for example, was selling for $15,510 more in September 2020 than in September 2019, with buyers forking out an average of $38,500 for the car, according to Carsales.com.au. (The 2017 Holden Special Vehicle GTS R experienced the biggest annual median price increase – rising by $51,990 to $169,990 – but that’s unsurprising given no more Holdens are rolling off the production line.)

Alice Springs Car Dealership sees Pandemic car sales bonanza

Pandemic car sales bonanza By Erwin Chlanda By ERWIN CHLANDA After 45 years of selling cars, partly in Alice Springs including the past seven year, Stephen Rogers (at right) thought he’d seen it all: The start of 2020 was looking not too bad, fitting into the pattern of the industry’s minor ups and downs, February and March usually being quiet. Then COVID-19 struck and disaster seemed inevitable. The opposite was the case: The Federal Government’s string of economic rescue initiatives, starting in April with early releases of superannuation savings, opened a money flood that saw car yards on the North Stuart Highway filling and emptying several times over. No sooner a load of used cars arrives in town they are snapped up, says Mr Rogers. Some people form bush communities are buying two at a time, says another dealer. Unsurprisingly a $6000 car now costs $8000, a result partly of drops in new car purchases in South Australi…

ACCC car dealer tricks

ACCC lifts lid on car dealer tricks The Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC) has shone a light on some of the tactics used by car dealers and the inner workings of their business models, in an industry with ''opaque'' pricing.The competition regulator says dealers generally won't offer their best price over the phone, that no cars sell at the recommended retail price set by manufacturers, and most buyers will only travel a maximum of 35 kilometres out of their home area to make a purchase.

The ACCC's observations are contained in a 16-page document summarising its early findings as it scrutinises the proposed $2.3 billion merger between AP Eagers and Automotive Holdings Group to form a car dealership giant with 12 per cent of the Australian market and 229 locations.

The ACCC's assessment of a proposed big auto dea…
