Brexit Impact on imports and the decline in new car sales, and therefore trade-ins, means there are less nearly new used cars (Reg. 2016 - 2019) in the Irish Market. Demand is driving up prices on used cars. Similar trends are visible in the UK where leading car sites have seen increases of 8.5% in the price of used cars across the board.

DoneDeal’s Market data, for both New and Used cars, shows that as the price gap closes between nearly new cars (Reg. 2016-2019) and new cars, people are making the leap to enquire about brand new cars on the site.

A good time to buy: With a crunch in new supply, vehicles are expected to better hold their value. 1 in 2 Irish consumers intends to buy Hybrid or Electric as their next car. Diesel is still king but DoneDeal research says one in two buyers are now open to buying hybrid or Electric as their next car up from 1 in 4 last year.

Competitive Finance Options are expected to make it easier for consumers to trade up to newer and more aspirational car types like Hybrid and Electric vehicles.

Among many cohorts, Cash is plentiful as car buyers use funds that would have been used for holidays, creche fees, etc, as deposits on a new car.

DoneDeal’s motor report reveals an industry in crisis but one that is transforming to be future proof with the adoption of online selling.

In 2021 it is not a matter of ‘if’ Irish consumers intend to buy cars online; they are buying cars online. In 2021, cars are being sold through Car dealerships entirely online, end to end, and via DoneDeal.

Car commuters don’t miss the traffic but really miss the contemplation time that commuting gave them.
