Used car prices

Dealers are the ones doing their best to inflate the market with ridiculous prices. The privates all see it and catch on.

Despite higher prices, with the exception of the odd bunny, no one would be getting what they're asking.

Supply v demand. It's a living beast and no one controls it.

Simply not the case.

To give you an example, Dutton's are known to buy up groups of rare cars, then drip feed them out at inflated prices.

HSV has gone nuts, FPV / Ford hasn't.

Yeah, I would like to see what they are actually selling for privately to compared to the asking price. People are asking stupid money for old trucks at the moment.

Dealers have been doing that since time began,they dont need to get what there asking it just means they have room to give Jo public closer to the inflated price they think there trades worth and still come out ok.

Oldest trick in the book, list high 'negotiate' down.

RRP + 20%, offer 10% 'discount'
