    I’m surprised there’s not a threat up yet. Wednesday sees the final new quarter for this year, what are we hoping for? New cars or improved pricing. I’ll start with the ever popular IM5 and 6

    Improved pricing? Do you know something that we don’t? We can live in hope, but APs have been on an upward trajectory for 2 years now and I’m not anticipating a reversal, especially with EV residual values still being in free fall.

    Theres the government incentives for some EVs.  Not much but it may help.  It was more inviting responses than actually hoping for a sudden AP crash.  To be brutally honest, I can’t see all APs dropping as significantly as they had before ever again.  Some manufacturers may decide to have a few months generating demand but with insurers putting their prices up and the overheads still going the wrong way the opportunity to cut even a few hundred off the AP of every single car offered just won’t happen.

    it may be rather a bleak new quarter, cars removed, APs going north, maybe a few added.

    I'll try to give my honest opinion but am always open to learning.
