Agenda
Used vehicle prices are continuing to hold up well
as new car and van registrations remain in the
doldrums, but that is no excuse for complacency
when it comes to remarketing. Experts share their
views about where the market is going so that
members can get the best value remarketing
ex-fleet cars and vans.
Questions to be asked include:
New car registrations have risen for 18 months in a row – will this
soon bring an end to the current bull market for used vehicles?
Used vehicle grading – what impact has it had on the market?
How is technology changing the used car market?
Is the used van market due for a correction?

European car sales
You could see a slight pickup in
the market, but … realistically,
we have to assume stagnation
in the European market until
2020.

Conclusions?
How much will new car sales growth damage used car values?







Lack of supply has supported used car
prices
New car market returning towards ‘midterm trend’ levels
Retail sales growth may slow despite
recovering economy
Possible PCP returns ‘time bomb’
Growth in LCV rental
Recovery in European car sales may
reduce volume pressure in UK a little,
but …
Heavy discounting to continue and
potential increases in ‘short cycle’ fleet
volume create risk for used car values
December 9, 2013
© Invigors EMEA LLP
The UK 1-5 year old car
parc is already seeing
growth this year, and
when the strong new car
sales growth is combined
with heavy discounting
the value of young used
vehicles will really
struggle as you head into
2015 and beyond

Evolution of CAP Initial Forecasts

Separate Battery Leasing
•
Where a vehicle is a complete asset (includes the battery), CAP will provide
current & future values in the same way as for a conventionally powered
vehicle.
•
Consultation with contract hire, asset finance and insurance companies has
been virtually universal and has raised significant issues with dual title:
•
Impossible to repossess either asset in the event of default
•
Operational risk of battery management with lessor - cannot control
charge/discharge cycles. Agreements not fit for purpose.
•
Total loss insurance issues in calculating repair vs. total loss.
•
Additional admin resource for vehicles with separate battery lease adversely affects potential deal profitability.
Vast majority of companies not funding dual asset vehicles
Barriers To Adoption
•
Range anxiety & suitability.
•
Cost – both in terms of initial vehicle purchase & Total Cost of Motoring
comparison vs. ICE alternatives.
•
Perception that battery will need replacing in a used vehicle.
•
Charging infrastructure – some progress, but still a long way from a viable
solution.
•
Dichotomy of city centre suitability.
•
Adoption incentives mainly aimed at new car buyer.
•
Availability of raw materials required for large scale battery production.
Significant barriers remain
Alternative Fuels
•
Fuel cells the likely long term solution
- IX35 production ready
- Transition from ‘engineering to chemistry’
•
Private Sector funding for £1.2mm electric vehicle charging
infrastructure
•
Research into battery technology
•
Improvements in ICE

Key Points
•
Fleet make up a significant proportion of overall market
•
Franchised Dealers and Car Supermarkets account for less than 10% of overall
volumes
•
Independents are still the major force
•
Car Dealers have diversified into commercial vehicles
•
More about use and reliability than actual product
•
Market is still short of product overall
Buyer Behaviour
• Wholesale Buying Trends have changed, and will continue to
change
• Margins are being squeezed
• Money is “cheap to borrow” yet hard to obtain
• Buying for stock in big numbers is not for the feint hearted
• Internet has driven the small dealer to specialise or die
Buyer Behaviour
•
Online purchasing continues to grow
•
Still a desire to ‘touch and feel’ by some buyers
•
The need for quality description is greater than ever
•
Stock supply will widen the gap between “Clean” and “Poor”
further
•
Buyers don’t want money tied up unnecessarily
Vehicle Preparation
• Vehicle preparation has come a long way since “throwing a bucket of water on it”
• Buyers want cars “ready to retail”
• Advent of larger de-fleet numbers will add pressure for vendors
• Recipe for success:
 Right Car
 In front of the right buyer
 At the right time
 In the right condition
Influence of Technology on Buyer Behaviour
Sourcing the right stock
• Analytics tools to provide real time information on what to buy
• Automated matching on shopping basket requirements
• Earlier information on vehicles being offered for sale
Better quality vehicle information
• Higher quality imagery
• More granular data – condition, service history
• Live valuations for wholesale and retail environments
Influence of Technology on Buyer Behaviour
Increased purchasing online
• Continued growth of Simulcast sales
• More 24/7 ‘Buy Now’ options on stock going through a variety of channels
Support services which make life easier
• No queuing to pay at the physical auctions
• Online interaction to book transport, arrange refurbishment or track
deliveries
• Wholesale funding at click of a mouse after purchase
Transition to retail / integration
• Automatic push of data from wholesale to retail
environments
e.g. images
• Push to wholesale channels for vehicles which need to be
moved quicker
