Motor Trade Radio

🎙️NEW POD STREAMING NOW: "Seasonal normality" is the topic of the latest Motor Trade Radio weekday podcast, powered by MOTORS. We talked to Derren Martin, Cap HPI's Director of Valuations, about how used car values performed in April.    A dip of just -1.5% (c£300) indicated a balancing of demand and supply dynamics (-1.4% is the average for the month). We also find out how the early Easter impacted the market, trends by age (older cars under pressure), sector (upper-medium the biggest faller) and fuel type (EVs still leading drops).    Plus his thoughts on how May could pan out and more!   #AllTheChatterThatMatters with Philip and Curtis.   #automotive
