 Good time to buy second hand? - Bobby
Cousin has £10k budget to replace her 2006 Golf She is thinking of another Golf but I am also suggestion Leon, Focus, C Max.

Whats the general consensus on when is best to buy? Now when all the showrooms are appt only or wait till they open up again?

I am thinking they might be keen on getting a sale just now, but on the contrary, with all the furlough / Govt subsidies, they might not be bothered too much about any cash flow?

Once markets open up again these cars will have been sitting unmoved on forecourts for a few months - big incentives to sell the stock and turn it all over at that point? Or will it be a sellers market and no deals offered as there will be so many buyers desperate to get new wheels?

Up here, 90% of the showrooms seem to be owned by Arnold Clark.
