Enhanced Need for Personal Mobility Has Pushed Used Car Sales Post-Covid

At the start of the Coivd-19 pandemic, many British people decided that they would be more willing to rely on their own car than public transportation. For people with just one car or none in the household, this often meant purchasing something suitable. As such, there was a surge in demand for small, second-hand cars especially during 2020, a trend that saw no sign of abating in 2021. In fact, this has also led to an increase in asking prices for used cars, something that has contributed to the UK’s rising inflation figures. However, even with demand peaking and prices soaring, there has been no let-up in this market trend.

One of the issues for used car buyers has been where to turn to for something reliable. Brand new cars, whether they are sold or leased, tend to come with warranties and service plans but second-hand ones often don’t, especially when they’re purchased from private sellers. However, it is possible buy fully inspected used cars with warranties at KAP Brighton Autocentre, so that is worth noting. In addition, buying from a reputable dealer suits many people who are looking for personal mobility because it means being able to go back if something were to arise post-sale. This isn’t the case with private sellers where buyers should be much more cautious.


Of course, it is also possible to buy new cars instead of second-hand ones to help people get about in a Covid-secure way. However, the pandemic, as well as recent changes to the UK’s trading relations, has led to some car manufacturers seeing a downturn in production. That’s something that has driven prices up with the result that new cars are even more expensive than used ones, even taking into account the prices now being demanded of the latter.

Although there was a marked return to public transport in the summer, the last two winters in the UK have seen a surge of Covid cases, whether they are from the original form of the disease or new variants. Consequently, demand for personal transportation is likely to remain high for some time. Thankfully, there are reputable businesses out there catering for such demand in a professional and expert manner. After all, no two people’s needs will be the same. Some have mobility needs for themselves only while others need to think about transporting family members and pets around. Some will be happy with lots of miles on the clock while others will prefer to avoid such vehicles. The good news is that all types of vehicles are ready to track down right now!
