Car dealers steer clear of prestige cars



 Car dealers are refusing to part-exchange prestige vehicles and SUVs as forecourts begin to swell with unsold, undesirable stock, according to a survey by Auto Express.

Following a record decrease in new car sales, dealers told the magazine a variety of cars were being shunned or they were only making derisory offers.

Some traders openly admitted they were knocking £1,000 off the price guides of some 4x4 models in a bid to shift the metal. 

Models unwanted by dealers include the Mercedes R-Class, Audi S6 Avant, Porsche Boxster, BMW M6 Convertible, Jeep Grand Cherokee, Range Rover, Land Rover Freelander, Hyundai Coupé 2.0, and Nissan 350Z.

Even popular models such as the BMW 3-Series Coupé are fetching deflated part-exchange values in some regions.
