Seasonally, the used car market typically experiences a slight downturn from October so we are delighted to be bucking the trend, particularly when there are so many other external factors at play.
“Beyond the numbers, we remain focused on changing our industry for the better while proving it is possible to combine profit with purpose. We’re doing that by providing transparency to customers and making sure our people have the best possible experience at work.”
