Anyone know how lockdown 2 will effect car dealerships, did a quick google but couldn’t find any news articles mentioning dealerships if they’re classed as a necessity or not

Never mind the announcement hasn’t even been on yet delayed again, just some “leaks” will come back to this after the announcement

Stupid lockdown has just been announced, I am too looking for answers. I’ve emailed my dealer and await a response as I am due handover in mid November. Most likely the answer will be suspension up until 2nd December as it is deemed non-essential.

I expect it to be delayed but so the cars still be shipped and sit at the dealers until lockdown is over? Or will it be set back even further because it’ll then need transported?

It won’t let me post the link but the gov website has listed all services that will have to close, car showrooms are one of those, so I’d imagine no cars will change hands until lockdown is over.

We were due to renew on the 19th November!

Zoe, I believe they may just sit at the Port creating further delays. Mine is currently at the exit port awaiting for the logistic partners to process and deliver. So if dealers are closed from this Thursday and can’t take in the vehicles i’m guessing it is put on hold as there is nobody to accept delivery. It would be an advantage if they can accept the deliveries as handovers would be ready as current delivery times are up to 3 weeks!

Damn, wonder how this will effect q1 prices, in my opinion the lockdown will be extended no way it’s just till December
