Analysis

Average used car values at BCA rose to record levels in September 2018, as buyer demand continued apace and the company reported a strong trading month both in-lane and online. Bidding activity on used cars has been strong at BCA throughout 2018 and that continued into September, pushing average values for fleet & contract hire and dealer part-exchange vehicles to record levels.
