The Suzuki dealerships are back on the bandwagon again, they are selling 2nd hand Jimnys at inflated prices.

There's a lot of spare money about at the moment, people haven't spent anything on holidays and many have had large covid grants.

This may be contributing to the higher prices. Also many buy on PCP where the monthly payment is more important than the retail price, as they never own the vehicle.

That's always confused me, I work hard, spend less than I earn and eventually get something I need. This idea of having something I want and having to work to pay someone else back for it doesn't sit well with me. Maybe I'm just old?

Scandalous prices Foxtrot, I wonder if they are actually selling? It's amazing that dealerships can get away with selling a second hand car for more money than when it was new.

For me, it was the initial scandal of the dealers buying the cars themselves in order to be able to charge the "used" price that was the issue.

With no new cars in the system that has gone. Therefore dealers are charging the market rate plus their margin (so they will be £2000+ above market.

With the new Commercial, Suzuki are centrally vetting customers to deter the dealers doing that, all sales will be handled centrally. Dealers have to put forward their recommended customer (however that would not prevent dealers putting forward their "cousin")
