Price of used trucks

[swinny]

Why are the prices so high? its crazy!!

 

Been looking on ebay at transits etc and people want like 3450 for a 52 plate transit with lots of miles on it!!

 

Might have to keep the ldv a bit longer!

 

Was hoping to buy a transit or iveco start of next year.... 04/05 maybe 06 but they still fetch 6k on an 06 reg.

 

is there anywhere else to look other than ebay and autotrader??

 

Cheers

Simple supply and demand. Fewer people can afford a new truck, so they hang on to the old one for longer. Fewer secondhand trucks coming onto the market creates a relative scarcity, driving up the price.

It's because the fleet buyers haven't been buying many new vans since 2007 so there are fewer vans on the market.
