Used Car Sales have been hit by the adverse weather conditions we are having, dealerships and traders throughout the UK have posted record losses for the last week in November. It has been predicted that fewer sales have been made this year than any other, with some dealerships not even selling a single car!
Car Supermarkets have been affected particularly badly, as they have still to open with big overheads, with no footfall coming to their premises. It isn’t the fact that people haven’t wanted to go there it has been physically impossible for them to get out with many roads closed and conditions too dangerous to contemplate the journey.
This will now have a knock on effect to the whole car industry as we get nearer to Christmas and the festivities take preference over looking for a new car(unless you are one of the lucky few who will receive a car as a present for Christmas!)
The salesmen at the Car Supermarkets and dealerships will also be affected tremendously as the vast majority of their wages is made up of commission and with no customers to sell to they can expect very low pay packets leading up to the most expensive time of the year.
These are the guys you must feel sorry for as like them or loath them they are still human beings with commitments to meet and families to feed. There can be nothing more disheartening than getting up in the morning knowing it is almost pointless going into work but having to go anyway only to realize you will earn no money.
